EC 3.1.4.60

Accepted name: pApA phosphodiesterase

Reaction: 5'-O-phosphonoadenylyl-(3'→5')-adenosine + H2O = 2 AMP

Other name(s): pde2 (gene name); pApA hydrolase

Systematic name: 5'-O-phosphonoadenylyl-(3'→5')-adenosine phosphohydrolase

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, is a cytoplasmic protein that contains a DHH/DHHA1 domain. It can act on cyclic di-3',5'-adenylate with a much lower activity (cf. EC 3.1.4.59, cyclic-di-AMP phosphodiesterase). Activity requires Mn2+ and is inhibited by ppGpp.
