EC 3.2.2.25 Details
EC number
3.2.2.25
Accepted name
N-methyl nucleosidase
Reaction
7-methylxanthosine + H2O = 7-methylxanthine + D-ribose
Other name(s)
7-methylxanthosine nucleosidase, N-MeNase, N-methyl nucleoside hydrolase, methylpurine nucleosidase
Systematic name
7-methylxanthosine ribohydrolase
Comment
The enzyme preferentially hydrolyses 3- and 7-methylpurine nucleosides, such as 3-methylxanthosine, 3-methyladenosine and 7-methylguanosine. Hydrolysis of 7-methylxanthosine to form 7-methylxanthine is the second step in the caffeine-biosynthesis pathway.
