Characterization of NUDIX Hydrolase from Leishmania major

Acta Parasitologica
Abstract Hydrolysis of a wide range of organic pyrophosphates is carried out by a family of NUDIX hydrolases present ubiquitously in all kingdoms of life. NUDIX hydrolases have a highly conserved 23 amino acid long NUDIX box domain. When the genome sequence of Leishmania major, was analyzed for NUDIX motif, it revealed nine proteins had NUDIX ...
