(D)CTP diphosphatase
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.6 Acting on acid anhydrides > 3.6.1 In phosphorus-containing anhydrides > 3.6.1.65 (d)CTP diphosphatase
(D)CTP diphosphatase is a Nudix hydrolase characterized from Escherichia coli, found in viruses and cellular organisms, specific for CTP and dCTP; it also acts on 5-methyl-dCTP, 5-hydroxy-dCTP and 8-hydroxy-dGTP. It hydrolyzes CTP into CMP and diphosphate, and dCTP into dCMP and diphosphate. In cells it sanitizes pyrimidine triphosphates. It features a Nudix fold.
