Type: | Domain | Name: | Nucleoside phosphorylase domain |
Description: | Phosphorylases in this entry include:Purine nucleoside phosphorylase () (PNP) from most bacteria (gene deoD), which catalyses the cleavage of guanosine or inosine to respective bases and sugar-1-phosphate molecules [].Uridine phosphorylase () (UdRPase) from bacteria (gene udp) and mammals, which catalyses the cleavage of uridine into uracil and ribose-1-phosphate, the products of the reaction are used either as carbon and energy sources or in the rescue of pyrimidine bases for nucleotide synthesis [].5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase () (MTA phosphorylase) from Sulfolobus solfataricus[].Purine nucleoside phosphorylase () (PNP) from mammals as well as from some bacteria (gene deoD). This enzyme catalyzes the cleavage of guanosine or inosine to respective bases and sugar-1-phosphate molecules [].5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase () (MTA phosphorylase) from eukaryotes []. | Short Name: | Nucleoside_phosphorylase_d |
