UniProt functional annotation for D5SMY7

UniProt code: D5SMY7.

Organism: Planctopirus limnophila (strain ATCC 43296 / DSM 3776 / IFAM 1008 / 290) (Planctomyces limnophilus).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Planctomycetes; Planctomycetia; Planctomycetales; Planctomycetaceae; Planctopirus.
 
Function: The purine nucleoside phosphorylases catalyze the phosphorolytic breakdown of the N-glycosidic bond in the beta- (deoxy)ribonucleoside molecules, with the formation of the corresponding free purine bases and pentose-1-phosphate. {ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR000477}.
 
Pathway: Purine metabolism; purine nucleoside salvage. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00005058, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR000477}.
Subunit: Homotrimer. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00011233}.
Similarity: Belongs to the PNP/MTAP phosphorylase family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00006751, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR000477}.
