ADP-ribose diphosphatase
The ADP-ribose-specific Nudix hydrolase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT-ADPRase or ADPR pyrophosphatase) is part of the family of Nudix hydrolases with the characteristic Nudix box that catalyse hydrolysis of nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. Divalent magnesium or manganese ions are required for activity. Differences in binding sites of the M. tuberculosis enzyme and the human homologue suggest a possible target for antituberculosis drug treatment.

Enzyme Mechanism
Introduction
Glu 142, activated by a metal ion, acts as a general base catalyst in activating a water molecule for nucleophilic attack on the alpha-phosphate of the substrate. the water is also activated by binding to two manganese ions. The charges in the alpha-phosphate are stabilised by the metal ions. Charges in the beta-phosphate are stabilised by a metal ion and the Arg 64 side-chain.

Step 1. A water molecule is activated for nucleophilic attack through polarization by Mn2+ and through its deprotonation by Glu 142. The activated water then attacks the Phosphorus of the alpha-phosphate which results in the cleavage of the phosphoanhydride bond.
