Description
This family includes a 5'-nucleotidase,
3.1.3.5, specific for purines (IMP and GMP)
[1]. These enzymes are members of the Haloacid Dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily. HAD members are recognised by three short motifs {hhhhDxDx(T/V)}, {hhhh(T/S)}, and either {hhhh(D/E)(D/E)x(3-4)(G/N)} or {hhhh(G/N)(D/E)x(3-4)(D/E)} (where "h" stands for a hydrophobic residue). Crystal structures of many HAD enzymes has verified PSI-PRED predictions of secondary structural elements which show each of the "hhhh" sequences of the motifs as part of β sheets. This subfamily of enzymes is part of "Subfamily I" of the HAD superfamily by virtue of a "cap" domain in between motifs 1 and 2. This subfamily's cap domain has a different predicted secondary structure than all other known HAD enzymes and thus has been designated "subfamily IG", the domain appears to consist of a mixed α/β fold.
