Purine nucleoside phosphorylase DeoD-type

UniProtKB accession:  P0ABP8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the reversible 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 (PubMed:11786017, PubMed:21672603, PubMed:235429, PubMed:30337572). Acts on 6-amino and 6-oxopurines including deoxyinosine, deoxyguanosine, deoxyadenosine, adenosine, guanosine, and inosine (PubMed:11786017, PubMed:21672603, PubMed:235429, PubMed:30337572). Does not act on xanthosine (Probable). May also catalyze a phosphate-dependent transfer of the pentose moiety from one purine base to another (PubMed:235429).
