Descripción

General description

Nucleoside Phosphorylase are trimeric and have a molecular mass of about 100 kDa. Each monomer consists of a mixed β-sheet core flanked by eight α-helices and a purine binding in hydrophobic pocket.

Nucleoside phosphorylase is an enzyme important for the biosynthesis of nucleosides.

Application

Nucleoside Phosphorylase from microorganisms has been used:

• in phosphopentomutase assay for adenosine synthesis
• for the conversion of 7-methylthioguanosine to 7-methylthioguanine
• in the synthesis of cytokinins in lyophilized cotton plant samples

Nucleoside phosphorylase is used in coupled enzyme systems to measure protein dephosphorylation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nucleoside Phosphorylase catalyzes the synthesis of nucleoside derivatives.

This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of inorganic phosphorus, 5′-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase when coupled with xanthine oxidase (XTO-212) and uricase (UAO-201, UAO-211). Purine nucleoside phosophorylase has shown the ability to perform both phosphorylosis and synthesis of purine deoxy- and ribonucleosides. It has also been found that membrane-associated nucleoside phosphorylases may have a transmembranal orientation with their base and ribose-1-P binding sites on opposite sides of the membrane.

Catalyzes the following reaction:purine nucleoside + phosphate = purine + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate
