EC 3.6.1.40

Accepted name: guanosine-5'-triphosphate,3'-diphosphate phosphatase

Reaction: guanosine 5'-triphosphate 3'-diphosphate + H2O = guanosine 3',5'-bis(diphosphate) + phosphate

Other name(s): pppGpp 5'-phosphohydrolase; guanosine 5'-triphosphate-3'-diphosphate 5'-phosphohydrolase; guanosine pentaphosphatase; guanosine pentaphosphate phosphatase; guanosine 5'-triphosphate 3'-diphosphate 5'-phosphatase; guanosine pentaphosphate phosphohydrolase

Systematic name: guanosine-5'-triphosphate-3'-diphosphate 5'-phosphohydrolase

Comments: Also hydrolyses other guanosine 5'-triphosphate derivatives with at least one unsubstituted phosphate group on the 3'-position, but not GTP, ATP or adenosine 5'-triphosphate 3'-diphosphate.
