Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NC-IUBMB)

Proposed Changes to the Enzyme List

EC2 to EC 6

The entries below are proposed additions and amendments to the Enzyme Nomenclature list. They were prepared for the NC-IUBMB by Keith Tipton, Sinéad Boyce, Gerry Moss, Dick Cammack and Hal Dixon, with assistance from Alan Chester, and were put on the web by Gerry Moss. Comments and suggestions on these draft entries should be sent to Professor K.F. Tipton and Dr S. Boyce (Department of Biochemistry, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland). These entries were made public October 2003 and approved December 2003.

An asterisk before 'EC' indicates that this is an amendment to an existing enzyme rather than a new enzyme entry.

Common name: methylated-DNA—[protein]-cysteine S-methyltransferase

Reaction: DNA (containing 6-O-methylguanine) + protein L-cysteine = DNA (without 6-O-methylguanine) + protein S-methyl-L-cysteine

Systematic name: DNA-6-O-methylguanine:[protein]-L-cysteine S-methyltransferase

Comments: This protein is involved in the repair of alkylated DNA. It acts only on the alkylated DNA (cf. EC 3.2.2.20 DNA-3-methyladenine glycosidase I and EC 3.2.2.21 DNA-3-methyladenine glycosidase II). This enzyme catalyses only one turnover and therefore is not strictly catalytic.

EC 2.4.1.230

Common name: kojibiose phosphorylase

Reaction: 2-α-D-glucosyl-D-glucose + phosphate = D-glucose + β-D-glucose 1-phosphate

Systematic name: 2-α-D-glucosyl-D-glucose:phosphate β-D-glucosyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme from Thermoanaerobacter brockii can act with α-1,2-oligoglucans, such as selaginose, as substrate, but more slowly. The enzyme is inactive when dissaccharides with linkages other than α-1,2 linkages, such as sophorose, trehalose, neotrehalose, nigerose, laminaribiose, maltose, cellobiose, isomaltose, gentiobiose, sucrose and lactose, are used as substrates.

Comments: Requires Mg2+. Is highly specific for dCTP as substrate as dCMP, CTP, CDP, CMP, cytosine or deoxycytosine are not deaminated.

EC 3.6.5.3

Common name: protein-synthesizing GTPase

Reaction: GTP + H2O = GDP + phosphate

Other name(s): elongation factor (EF); initiation factor (IF); peptide-release or termination factor

Systematic name: GTP phosphohydrolase (mRNA-translation-assisting)

Comments: This enzyme comprises a family of proteins involved in prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic protein synthesis. In the initiation factor complex, it is IF-2b (98 kDa) that binds GTP and subsequently hydrolyses it in prokaryotes. In eukaryotes, it is eIF-2 (150 kDa) that binds GTP. In the elongation phase, the GTP-hydrolysing proteins are the EF-Tu polypeptide of the prokaryotic transfer factor (43 kDa), the eukaryotic elongation factor EF-1α (53 kDa), the prokaryotic EF-G (77 kDa), the eukaryotic EF-2 (70-110 kDa) and the signal recognition particle that play a role in endoplasmic reticulum protein synthesis (325 kDa). EF-Tu and EF-1α catalyse binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal A-site, while EF-G and EF-2 catalyse the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site. GTPase activity is also involved in polypeptide release from the ribosome with the aid of the pRFs and eRFs.
