Primary Identifier | IPR014444 | Type | Family |
Short Name | PH1575-like |
description | This family represents metal-dependent phosphatases found in bacteria and archaea, with probable damage-control functions, including Damage-control phosphatase PH1575 from Pyrococcus horikoshii []. It shows phosphatase activity against p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), but natural substrates have not been identified yet. It has low phosphatase activity against 8-oxo nucleotides, which suggests that it could hydrolyse oxidatively damaged purine nucleotides or their biosynthetic intermediates []. |
