Reaction: (1) CTP + H2O = CMP + diphosphate
(2) dCTP + H2O = dCMP + diphosphate
Other name(s): (d)CTP pyrophosphohydrolase; (d)CTP diphosphohydrolase; nudG (gene name)
Systematic name: (deoxy)cytidine 5'-triphosphate diphosphohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, is specific for the pyrimidine nucleotides CTP and dCTP. It also acts on 5-methyl-dCTP, 5-hydroxy-dCTP and 8-hydroxy-dGTP.
