NATE-0478
Description
Class II N-Deoxyribosyltranferases, DRTases, catalyze the transfer of a 2'-deoxyribosyl group between purines or pyrimidines. In the absence of an acceptor nucleobase, these enzymes display hydrolase activity, converting the nucleoside to its base and a deoxyribose. In lactobacilli species, Nucleoside Deoxyribosyltransferase enzymes are part of the nucleoside salvage pathway for DNA synthesis.

Unit Definition
One unit of enzyme produces 1 μM of hypoxanthine in 1 minute at 40°C, pH 6.0.
Applications
Nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase II has been used in a study that assessed its enzymatic synthesis with 2′-deoxyguanosine. Nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase II has also been used in studies to investigate its molecular cloning, expression and specificity.
