Accepted name: |
S-inosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase |
Reaction: |
S-inosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O = inosine + L-homocysteine |
Other name(s): |
SIHH |
Systematic name: |
S-inosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (inosine-forming) |
Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the methanogenic archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, binds an NAD+ cofactor. It participates in an alternative pathway for the regeneration of S-adenosyl-L-methionine from S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine that involves the deamination of the latter to S-inosyl-L-homocysteine. |
