Description
Class II N-Deoxyribosyltranferases, DRTases, catalyze the transfer of a 2'-deoxyribosyl group between purines or pyrimidines. In the absence of an acceptor nucleobase, these enzymes display hydrolase activity, converting the nucleoside to its base and a deoxyribose. In lactobacilli species, Nucleoside Deoxyribosyltransferase enzymes are part of the nucleoside salvage pathway for DNA synthesis.
