purine nucleoside phosphorylase I, inosine and guanosine-specific This model represents a family of bacterial and metazoan purine phosphorylases acting primarily on inosine and guanosine and not acting on adenosine. PNP-I refers to the nomenclature from Bacillus stearothermophilus where PHP-II refers to the nucleotidase acting on adenosine as the primary substrate.The bacterial enzymes (PUNA) are typified by the Bacilus PupG protein, which is involved in the metabolism of nucleosides as a carbon source.Several metazoan enzymes (PNPH) are well characterized including the human and bovine enzymes which have been crystallized.
