IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.7.1.143

Accepted name: diphosphate-purine nucleoside kinase

Reaction: diphosphate + a purine nucleoside = phosphate + a purine mononucleotide

Other name(s): pyrophosphate-purine nucleoside kinase

Systematic name: diphosphate:purine nucleoside phosphotransferase

Comments: the enzyme from the Acholeplasma class of Mollicutes catalyses the conversion of adenosine, guanosine and inosine to AMP, GMP and IMP. ATP cannot substitute for diphosphate as a substrate.
