Structural highlights
Function
GSDA_ARATH Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of guanosine, producing xanthosine and ammonia. Deaminates exclusively guanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine but no other aminated purines, pyrimidines, or pterines. Deamination of guanosine by GSDA is the only source of xanthosine production in Arabidopsis.[1]
