The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase-like, C-terminal domain
".

Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily EC Annotations

Note: the EC figure is not being displayed for this superfamily as there are more than 100 different EC terms.

There are 4 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Thymidine phosphorylase. [EC: 2.4.2.4]
Thymidine + phosphate = thymine + 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.
  • In some tissues also catalyzes deoxyribosyltransferase reactions of the type catalyzed by EC 2.4.2.6.
  • Formerly EC 2.4.2.23.

AMP phosphorylase. [EC: 2.4.2.57]
(1) AMP + phosphate = adenine + alpha-D-ribose 1,5-bisphosphate. (2) CMP + phosphate = cytosine + alpha-D-ribose 1,5-bisphosphate. (3) UMP + phosphate = uracil + alpha-D-ribose 1,5-bisphosphate.
  • The enzyme from archaea is involved in AMP metabolism and CO(2) fixation through type III RubisCO enzymes.
  • The activity with CMP and UMP requires activation by cAMP.

Pyrimidine-nucleoside phosphorylase. [EC: 2.4.2.2]
(1) Uridine + phosphate = uracil + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate. (2) Thymidine + phosphate = thymine + 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate. (3) 2'-deoxyuridine + phosphate = uracil + 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.
  • Unlike EC 2.4.2.3 and EC 2.4.2.4, this enzyme can accept both the ribonucleoside uridine and the 2'-deoxyribonucleosides 2'-deoxyuridine and thymidine.
  • The reaction is reversible, and the enzyme does not distinguish between alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate and 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate in the synthetic direction.
  • Formerly EC 2.4.2.23.

Ribose 1,5-bisphosphate phosphokinase. [EC: 2.7.4.23]
ATP + alpha-D-ribose 1,5-bisphosphate = ADP + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate.
  • This enzyme, found in NAD suppression mutants of Escherichia coli, synthesizes 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate (PRPP) without the participation of EC 2.7.6.1.
  • Ribose, ribose 1-phosphate and ribose 5-phosphate are not substrates, and GTP cannot act as a phosphate donor.
