3'(2'),5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase
Catalyses the removal of the 3'-phosphate from adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to reform AMP. This reaction helps drive the sulfur incorporation cycle for pathways such as methionine biosynthesis. Sensitivity of this essential enzyme to sodium and other metal ions results is responsible for characterisation of this enzyme as a salt tolerance protein [PMID:10205895]. Some members of this family are active also as inositol 1-monophosphatase.

Enzyme Mechanism
Introduction
A water molecule bound to the first site magnesium ion is activated through a proton relay with Asp49 and Thr147. It then attacks the 3'-phosphate group, eliminating the product phosphate and a negatively charged intermediate which subsequently is reprotonated from bulk solvent via a proton relay involving the second ribose hydroxyl group and a water bound to the second magnesium site.

| UniProt | PDB* (1qgx) | ||
| Asp142, Ile144 (main-C) | Asp142A, Ile144A (main-C) | Forms part of the magnesium 1 binding site. | metal ligand |
| Glu72 | Glu72A | Acts as a bridging ligand between the two magnesium ions. | metal ligand |
| Asp49, Thr147 | Asp49A, Thr147A | Asp49 and Thr147 form a proton relay chain with the catalytic water, both act as general acid/bases. Asp49 abstracts a proton from Thr147, which in turn abstracts a proton from the catalytic water, activating it for nucleophilic attack on the substrate 3'-phosphate. | proton acceptor, proton donor |
| Asp145, Asp294 | Asp145A, Asp294A | Forms part of the magnesium 2 binding site. | metal ligand |

Step 1. Asp49 activates the catalytic water through Thr147. The activated species then initiates a nucleophilic attack on the magnesium bound phosphate, eliminating it from the diphosphate substrate.
