Crystal structure of Nucleoside-triphosphatase / dITP/XTP pyrophosphatase from Mycobacterium abscessus ATCC 19977 / DSM 44196

Structural highlights
FunctionIXTPA_MYCA9 Pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates to their monophosphate derivatives, with a high preference for the non-canonical purine nucleotides XTP (xanthosine triphosphate), dITP (deoxyinosine triphosphate) and ITP. Seems to function as a house-cleaning enzyme that removes non-canonical purine nucleotides from the nucleotide pool, thus preventing their incorporation into DNA/RNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions.
