Structural highlights
FunctionPURZ_BPVC8 Involved in the synthesis of the atypical nucleotide dZTP (2-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-triphosphate) (PubMed:33926954). Catalyzes the condensation of aspartate with deoxyguanylate into dSMP (N6-succino-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenylate), which undergoes defumarylation and phosphorylation respectively by host PurB and guanylate/nucleoside diphosphate kinases to give dZTP (PubMed:33926955). dZTP is integrated into the viral genome instead of adenine by the viral DNA polymerase. This Z-base probably completely replaces adenosine and forms a triple bond to the opposite T-base (PubMed:33926955). The resulting non-standard viral DNA is called Z-genome (PubMed:33926955). The chemically modified DNA is probably harder for the host bacteria to digest with nucleases or restriction enzymes (Probable).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04166][1] [2] See AlsoReferences
