Entry
Name
diphosphate-purine nucleoside kinase;
pyrophosphate-purine nucleoside kinase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring phosphorus-containing groups;
Phosphotransferases with an alcohol group as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
diphosphate:purine nucleoside phosphotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
diphosphate + a purine nucleoside = phosphate + a purine mononucleotide [RN:
R03699 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
The enzyme from the Acholeplasma class of Mollicutes catalyses the conversion of adenosine, guanosine and inosine to AMP, GMP and IMP. ATP cannot substitute for diphosphate as a substrate.
