Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.2Å Ligands: ANP Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT, TOPSAN Function 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). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

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.
