Disease relevance of nudF

The Escherichia coli ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase, a Nudix enzyme, catalyzes the hydrolysis of ADP-ribose to ribose-5-P and AMP, compounds that can be recycled as part of nucleotide metabolism [1].
Systematic characterization of the ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase family in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 [2].
Overproduction, crystallization and preliminary diffraction data of ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase from Thermus thermophilus HB8 [3].

High impact information on nudF

Comparison with other members of the subfamily revealed a conserved proline 16 amino acid residues downstream of the Nudix box, common to all of the ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase subfamily [4].
By contrast, Slr1690 showed very low activity for ADP-ribose and had four substitutions of amino acids in the Nudix motif, indicating that Slr1690 is not an active ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase [2].
