IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.20.1.2

Accepted name: AMP-dependent phosphite dehydrogenase

Reaction: phosphite + AMP + NAD+ = ADP + NADH + H+

Other name(s): apdA (gene name)

Systematic name: phosphite:NAD+ oxidoreductase (ADP-forming)

Comments: The enzyme was characterized from the anaerobic bacteria Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans and Phosphitispora fastidiosa. Activity in vitro required the presence of EC 2.7.4.3, adenylate kinase. cf. EC 1.20.1.1, phosphite dehydrogenase.
