NudT16 is an archetypical member of the Nudix superfamily of hydrolases. Nudix | '''NudT16''' is an archetypical member of the Nudix superfamily of hydrolases. [[Nudix hydrolase]] enzymes have in common a stretch of 23 amino acids called the Nudix signature sequence which is the binding site for the metal involved in diphosphate hydrolysis. Nudix hydrolases prefer substrates of the form '''NU'''cleoside, '''DI'''phosphate and variable motif'''X''', hence their name NUDIX. Examples of such substrates are ATP where X is PPI, ADP-ribose where X is phospho-ribose or m7GTP-RNA where X is phospho-RNA. Their catalytic activity is to hydrolyze a phosphorus-oxygen bond resulting in a nucleoside monophosphate (NMP) and a phosphate linked to moiety X. | ||
While NudT16 was initially described as a nuclear RNA and cytoplasmic mRNA decapping enzyme, further studies have shown that it also effectively hydrolyzes inosine diphosphate (IDP) and its hazardous deoxyribose cognate (dIDP) into inosine monophosphate (IMP) and deoxy inosine monophosphate (dIMP), respectively <ref>PMID: 26121039</ref>. NudT16 has also been shown to hydrolyze ADP-ribose (ADPr) and Poly-ADP-ribose (polyADPr) <ref>PMID: 30976021</ref>. Physiologically, NudT16 has been shown to regulate levels of 53BP1, an adaptor protein that recruits other proteins to the site of a DNA breakage, through hydrolytic removal of ADPr from Poly-ADP-ribosylated 53BP1 <ref>PMID: 31911551</ref>. | |||
