Type: | Family | Name: | 2-hydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentenyl-1-phosphate phosphatase |
Description: | This entry represents 2-hydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentenyl-1-phosphate phosphatase, MtnX, which is involved in methionine salvage and belongs to the HAD-superfamily hydrolases, subfamily IB (see ). This enzyme is found in Bacillus subtilisand related species, paired with MtnW (). In most species that recycle methionine from methylthioadenosine, the single protein MtnC replaces the MtnW/MtnX pair. In B. subtilis, mtnX was first known as ykrX. | Short Name: | HAD-SF_hydro_IB_MtnX |
