F the ADP-linked ribose with mannose significantly decreases the activity, which is further decreased or completely abolished when ribose is replaced by glucose (Figure 4). A very low activity is displayed by the AtABBV 075 site COG1058 enzyme towards GDP-mannose, while GDP-glucose is not recognized by either protein. The presence of a phosphate group on the adenine-linked ribose significantly decreases or fully abolishes the activity. As to the ApnA series, for both enzymes the activity falls off when n .2. ATP is hydrolyzed to AMP only by the AtCOG1058 protein and to a very low extent (Figure 4). Neither enzyme is able to hydrolyze the pyrophosphate bond in ribonucleoside diphosphates (not shown). Results of the kinetic analyses for the preferred substrates are reported in Figure 5. Although the AtCOG1058 enzyme hydrolyzes ADPR and Ap2A at similar rates, the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) towards ADPR is about 14 fold higher. In addition, the bifunctional enzyme is about seven-fold less efficient towards ADPR than the Probe sets from 28,132 genes (Ensembl) or from 19,734 putative full-length transcripts (GenBank stand-alone pyrophosphatase. Neither enzyme is able to remove a phosphate group from ribonucleoside mono- and diphosphates or from NADP, nor to hydrolyze the phosphodiester bond in 29, 39- and 39, 59-cyclic nucleotides (not shown).COG1058 Is a Novel Pyrophosphatase FamilyFigure 6.

The COG1058 domain can be found either as a stand-alone domain, or in a fused form with NMN deamidase or FAD synthase (that catalyzes FMN adenylylation to FAD). In particular, in archaea, in a- and some d-proteobacteria, the COG1058 domain occurs only as a single domain, while in remaining bacterial taxonomic groups it is mostly found fused with PncC (Figure 6A ). Eukaryotes have both single- and two-domain proteins, the latter being composed of the COG1058 domain fused to FAD synthase (Figure 6B). While the single-domain form is mostly present in fungi, the fused form is widely distributed among plants and animals. Notably, in plants the COG1058 domain is located at the N-terminus, whereas in animals it occurs at the C-terminus. The large-scaletopology of the COG1058 phylogenetic tree (Figure 7, and Figure S1) is largely consistent with.F the ADP-linked ribose with mannose significantly decreases the activity, which is further decreased or completely abolished when ribose is replaced by glucose (Figure 4).
