EC 2.4.2.44 Details
EC number
2.4.2.44
Accepted name
S-methyl-5′-thioinosine phosphorylase
Reaction
S-methyl-5′-thioinosine + phosphate = hypoxanthine + S-methyl-5-thio-α-D-ribose 1-phosphate
Other name(s)
MTIP, MTI phosphorylase, methylthioinosine phosphorylase
Systematic name
S-methyl-5′-thioinosine:phosphate S-methyl-5-thio-α-D-ribosyl-transferase
Comment
No activity with S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine. The catabolism of of 5′-methylthioadenosine in Pseudomonas aeruginosa involves deamination to S-methyl-5′-thioinosine (EC 3.5.4.31, S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine deaminase) and phosphorolysis to hypoxanthine [1].
