EC 3.1.3.89
Names
Accepted name:
5'-deoxynucleotidase
Other
name:
yfbR (gene name)
Systematic name:
2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate phosphohydrolase
Reaction
- a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate + H2O = a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside + phosphate
Cofactor
Comments:
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, shows strict specificity towards deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates and does not dephosphorylate 5'-ribonucleotides or ribonucleoside 3'-monophosphates. A divalent metal cation is required for activity, with cobalt providing the highest activity.
