3.2.2.9

Accepted name:

adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase

Reaction:

(1) S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H₂O = S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine + adenine
(2) 5′-deoxyadenosine + H₂O = 5-deoxy-D-ribose + adenine
(3) S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + H₂O = 5-(methylsulfanyl)-D-ribose + adenine

Other name(s):

S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (ambiguous); S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase; 5′-methyladenosine nucleosidase; S-adenosylhomocysteine/5′-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase; AdoHcy/MTA nucleosidase; MTN2 (gene name); mtnN (gene name)

Systematic name:

S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine homocysteinylribohydrolase

Comments:

This enzyme, found in bacteria and plants, acts on three different substrates. It is involved in the S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM, AdoMet) cycle, which recycles S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine back to SAM, and in salvage pathways for 5′-deoxyadenosine and S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine, which are produced from SAM during the action of many enzymes. cf. the plant enzyme EC 3.2.2.16, methylthioadenosine nucleosidase.
