GDA1/CD39 family of nucleoside phosphatases signature


Description

A number of nucleoside diphosphate and triphosphate hydrolases as well as some yet uncharacterized proteins have been found to belong to the same family [1,2]. This family currently consist of:

  • Yeast guanosine-diphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.42) (GDPase) (gene GDA1). GDA1 is a golgi integral membrane enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of GDP to GMP.
  • Potato apyrase (EC 3.6.1.5) (adenosine diphosphatase) (ADPase). Apyrase acts on both ATP and ADP to produce AMP.
  • Mammalian vascular ATP-diphosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.5) (also known as lymphoid cell activation antigen CD39).
  • Toxoplasma gondii nucleoside-triphosphatases (EC 3.6.1.15) (NTPase). NTPase hydrolyses various nucleoside triphosphates to produce the corresponding nucleoside mono- and diphosphates. This enzyme is secreted into the invaded host cell into the parasitophorous vacuole, a specialized compartment where the parasite intracellulary resides.
  • Pea nucleoside-triphosphatases (EC 3.6.1.15) (NTPase).
  • Caenorhabditis elegans hypothetical protein C33H5.14.
  • Caenorhabditis elegans hypothetical protein R07E4.4.
  • Yeast chromosome V hypothetical protein YER005w.

The above uncharacterized proteins all seem to be membrane-bound.

All these proteins share a number of conserved domains. We have selected the best conserved of these domains. It is located in the central section of the proteins.
