Type: | Family | Name: | 3(2),5 -bisphosphate nucleotidase, bacterial |
Description: | Sulphate is incorporated into 3-phosphoadenylylsulphate, PAPS, for utilization in pathways such as methionine biosynthesis. Transfer of sulphate from PAPS to an acceptor leaves adenosine 3'-5'-bisphosphate, APS. These sequences describe a form found in bacteria of the enzyme 3'(2'),5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase, which removes the 3'-phosphate from APS to regenerate AMP and help drive the cycle. | Short Name: | Bisphos_bac |
