Nucleoside Triphosphate Pyrophosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.8) MazG-like domain found in uncharacterized protein from Archaeoglobus fulgidus (Af0060) and its bacterial homologs
This family includes an uncharacterized protein from Archaeoglobus fulgidus (Af0060) and its homologs from bacteria. Although its biological role remains unclear, Af0060 shows high sequence similarity to the dimeric 2-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTP pyrophosphatase or dUTPase) and NTP-PPase MazG proteins. However, unlike typical tandem-domain MazG proteins, members in this family consist of a single MazG-like domain that contains a well conserved divalent ion-binding motif EXX[E/D].
