Function

GPDQ_KLEAE Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 3'-5' phosphodiester bond of glycerophosphodiesters such as glycerophosphorylethanolamine (GPE), a typical phospholipid metabolite which is probably the natural substrate of the enzyme (PubMed:14711669). In addition, exhibits a broad substrate specificity and can catalyze the hydrolysis of various phosphomonoesters, diesters, triesters and phosphothiolates (PubMed:14711669, PubMed:168197, PubMed:17630782). Preferentially hydrolyzes the phosphate diesters over the phosphonate monoesters (PubMed:17630782). Can hydrolyze the model substrates p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), bis-(p-nitrophenyl phosphate) (bis(pNPP)) and ethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (EtpNPP) (PubMed:168197, PubMed:14711669, PubMed:17306828, PubMed:17630782, PubMed:18678932, PubMed:18831553). Also exhibits activity towards some organophosphate pesticides and is capable of hydrolyzing a close analog of EA 2192, the most toxic and persistent degradation product of the nerve agent VX (PubMed:14711669, PubMed:17630782).^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}
