Application

5′-Deoxyadenosine has been used:
  • as a standard in mass spectroscopy
  • as an inhibitor for screening thymidine phosphorylase activity
  • as a substrate in 5′-Deoxyadenosine deaminase (DadD) assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

5′-Deoxyadenosine is a substrate for the enzyme methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine (MTA/SAH) nucleosidase in microbes. 5′-Deoxyadenosine is a byproduct of cleavage of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). High levels of 5′-Deoxyadenosine inhibits SAM dependent enzymes. It also inhibits biotin synthase (BioB) and lipoyl synthase (LipA) enzymes.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), and Mössbauer spectroscopies and other physical methods have provided important new insights into the radical-SAM superfamily of proteins, which use iron-sulfur clusters and S-adenosylmethionine to initiate H atom abstraction reactions. This remarkable

BtrN encoded in the butirosin biosynthetic gene cluster possesses a CXXXCXXC motif conserved within the radical S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) superfamily. Its gene disruption in the butirosin producer Bacillus circulans caused the interruption of the biosynthetic pathway between 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosamine (DOIA) and
