== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IXTPA_METJA IXTPA_METJA] Pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates to their monophosphate derivatives, with a high preference for the non-canonical purine nucleotides xanthosine triphosphate (XTP), deoxyinosine triphosphate (dITP) and ITP (PubMed:10404228, PubMed:11452035). Probably functions 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 (PubMed:11452035). Shows very low activity on GTP or dGTP, both of which are hydrolyzed more than 100-fold less efficiently than XTP, and has nearly no activity toward the canonical nucleotides ATP, CTP, and TTP, and toward 6-N-hydroxylaminopurine deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dHAPTP) (PubMed:10404228, PubMed:11452035). Displays neither endonuclease nor 3'-exonuclease activities (PubMed:11452035).<ref>PMID:10404228</ref> <ref>PMID:11452035</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Almost half of the entire set of predicted genomic products from Methanococcus jannaschii are classified as functionally unknown hypothetical proteins. We present a structure-based identification of the biochemical function of a protein with an as yet unknown function from a M. jannaschii gene, Mj0226. The crystal structure of Mj0226 protein determined at 2.2 A resolution reveals that the protein is a homodimer and each monomer folds into an elongated alpha/beta structure of a new fold family. Comparisons of Mj0226 protein with protein structures in the database, however, indicate that one part of the protein is homologous to some of the nucleotide-binding proteins. Biochemical analysis shows that Mj0226 protein is a novel nucleotide triphosphatase that can efficiently hydrolyze nonstandard nucleotides such as XTP to XMP or ITP to IMP, but not the standard nucleotides, in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+ ions.
