deaminase
A member of the nucleic acid/nucleotide deaminase superfamily prototyped by Neisseria MafB19 [1]. Members of this family are present in a wide phyletic range of bacteria and are predicted to function as toxins in bacterial polymorphic toxin systems [1]. [1]. 21890906. Evolution of the deaminase fold and multiple origins of eukaryotic editing and mutagenic nucleic acid deaminases from bacterial toxin systems. Iyer LM, Zhang D, Rogozin IB, Aravind L;.

Cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase zinc-binding region
nucleoside deaminase
nucleoside deaminase such as adenosine, guanine, or cytosine deaminase is a Zn-dependent enzyme which catalyzes the deamination of nucleosides. The zinc ion in the active site plays a central role in the proposed catalytic mechanism, activating a water molecule to form a hydroxide ion that performs a nucleophilic attack on the substrate. The functional enzyme is a homodimer
