nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 (NTPDase3) and similar proteins
NTPDase3 (EC 3.6.1.5), also called CD39 antigen-like 3 (CD39L3), Ecto-ATP diphosphohydrolase 3, Ecto-ATPDase 3, Ecto-ATPase 3, Ecto-apyrase 3, or HB6, has a threefold preference for the hydrolysis of ATP over ADP.
Comment:The carboxylate group of E165 in NTPDase2 (3CJ1) serves as a catalytic base and activates a water molecule, which is well positioned for nucleophilic attack on the terminal phosphate.
