ENZYME entry: EC 3.6.1.72

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.6.1.72
Accepted Name
DNA-3'-diphospho-5'-guanosine diphosphatase
Alternative Name(s)
aprataxin
DNA-3'pp5'G guanylate hydrolase
Reaction catalysed
a 3'-end 2'-deoxyribonucleotide-3'-diphospho-5'-guanosine-DNA + H2O = a 3'-end 2'-deoxyribonucleotide 3'-phosphate-DNA + GMP + 2 H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Aprataxin is a DNA-binding protein that catalyzes (among other activities) the 3' decapping of DNA-ppG (formed by EC 6.5.1.8).
  • The enzyme binds the guanylate group to a histidine residue at its active site, forming a covalent enzyme-nucleotide phosphate intermediate, followed by the hydrolysis of the guanylate from the nucleic acid and its eventual release.
  • The enzyme also possesses the activity of EC 3.6.1.71 and EC 3.6.1.72.
  • Formerly EC 3.1.12.2.
