EC number
3.13.1.9
Accepted name
S-inosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase
Reaction
S-inosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O = inosine + L-homocysteine
Other name(s)
SIHH
Systematic name
S-inosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (inosine-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the methanogenic archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, binds an NAD+ cofactor. It participates in an alternative pathway for the regeneration of S-adenosyl-L-methionine from S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine that involves the deamination of the latter to S-inosyl-L-homocysteine.
