KEGG   ENZYME: 3.2.2.25
Entry
EC 3.2.2.25                 Enzyme                                 
Name
N-methyl nucleosidase;
7-methylxanthosine nucleosidase;
N-MeNase;
N-methyl nucleoside hydrolase;
methylpurine nucleosidase
Class
Hydrolases;
Glycosylases;
Hydrolysing N-glycosyl compounds
Sysname
7-methylxanthosine ribohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
7-methylxanthosine + H2O = 7-methylxanthine + D-ribose [RN:R07918]
Reaction(KEGG)
R07918
Substrate
7-methylxanthosine [CPD:C16352];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
7-methylxanthine [CPD:C16353];
D-ribose [CPD:C00121]
Comment
The enzyme preferentially hydrolyses 3- and 7-methylpurine nucleosides, such as 3-methylxanthosine, 3-methyladenosine and 7-methylguanosine. Hydrolysis of 7-methylxanthosine to form 7-methylxanthine is the second step in the caffeine-biosynthesis pathway.
