Reaction: 8-oxo-dGTP + H2O = 8-oxo-dGMP + diphosphate
Glossary: 8-oxo-dGTP = 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate
Other name(s): MutT; 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine triphosphatase; 8-oxo-dGTPase; 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-dGTP pyrophosphohydrolase
Systematic name: 8-oxo-dGTP diphosphohydrolase
Comments: This enzyme hydrolyses the phosphoanhydride bond between the α and β phosphate of 8-oxoguanine-containing nucleoside di- and triphosphates thereby preventing misincorporation of the oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphates into DNA . It does not hydrolyse 2-hydroxy-dATP (cf. EC 3.6.1.56, 2-hydroxy-dATP diphosphatase) [4]. Requires Mg2+.
