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
