UniProt code: P50389.

Organism: Saccharolobus solfataricus (strain ATCC 35092 / DSM 1617 / JCM 11322 / P2) (Sulfolobus solfataricus).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Saccharolobus.
 
Function: Cleavage of guanosine or inosine to respective bases and sugar-1-phosphate molecules. Cleaves inosine, guanosine, and adenosine with a better efficiency than MTA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7929153}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=phosphate + S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine = adenine + S-methyl-5- thio-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11852, ChEBI:CHEBI:16708, ChEBI:CHEBI:17509, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:58533; EC=2.4.2.28; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7929153};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a purine D-ribonucleoside + phosphate = a purine nucleobase + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19805, ChEBI:CHEBI:26386, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57720, ChEBI:CHEBI:142355; EC=2.4.2.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7929153};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a purine 2'-deoxy-D-ribonucleoside + phosphate = 2-deoxy- alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate + a purine nucleobase; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:36431, ChEBI:CHEBI:26386, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57259, ChEBI:CHEBI:142361; EC=2.4.2.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=154 uM for S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883}; KM=25.4 uM for adenosine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883}; KM=84 uM for inosine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883}; KM=113.6 uM for guanosine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883}; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 120 degrees Celsius. Highly thermostable. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819883};
Pathway: Purine metabolism; purine nucleoside salvage.
Subunit: Homohexamer; disulfide-linked. Trimer of homodimers, with three symmetric intersubunit disulfide bonds linking the dimers to one another. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11489901, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7929153}.
Similarity: Belongs to the PNP/UDP phosphorylase family. {ECO:0000305}.
