Reaction: (1) 8-oxo-GTP + H2O = 8-oxo-GDP + phosphate
(2) 8-oxo-dGTP + H2O = 8-oxo-dGDP + phosphate
Glossary: 8-oxo-dGTP = 2'-deoxy-7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanosine 5'-triphosphate
Other name(s): mutT1 (gene name)
Systematic name: 8-oxo-dGTP diphosphohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, catalyses the hydrolysis of both 8-oxo-GTP and 8-oxo-dGTP, thereby preventing transcriptional and translational errors caused by oxidative damage. The enzyme is highly specific. Unlike EC 3.6.1.55, 8-oxo-dGTP diphosphatase, it removes only a single phosphate group. The nucleoside diphosphate products are hydrolysed further by EC 3.6.1.58, 8-oxo-dGDP phosphatase.
