ADP­Sugar Pyrophosphatase (NUDT5)is a member of the nudi x super family of enzymes. Members of this family are pyrophosphohydrol gases that act upon substrates with the general structure of a nucleoside(Nu) diphosphate (di) linked to another moiety, X (NDP­X) to yield NMP plus P­X (1).Human NUDT5 is a homodimeric enzyme present in the cytosol of most cell types (2). Glu166 and three magnesium ions are important for stabilizing the transition state during the hydrolysis of ADPR (3) . NUDT5 has been suggested to play a role in regulating the intracellular levels of ADPR by NO activation through ADP ribosyl at ion at cysteine residues of the enzyme in macrophages (4). It also may play defensive role against the mutagenesis induced by oxidized deoxyribonucl eosides (5, 6).
