Q59ST1 | S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase | Catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine (MTA) to adenine and 5-methylthioribose-1-phosphate.Involved in the breakdown of MTA, a major by-product of polyaminebiosynthesis. Responsible for the first step in the methionine salvagepathway after MTA has been generated from S-adenosylmethionine. Hasbroad substrate specificity with 6-aminopurine nucleosides as preferredsubstrates. | MEU1 | Candida albicans | modified SN152 | 30296253 |
