Sequence and structure comparison of all known macro-H2A domains combined with available functional data suggests that proteins of this superfamily form an emerging group of nucleotide phosphatases that dephosphorylate Appr-1″-p. One of its sequence homologs, Poa1p (YBR022) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was recently functionally characterized as a highly specific phosphatase that removes the 1 00 phosphate group of ADP-ribose-1 00 -phosphate (Appr-1 00 -p) in the latter half of the tRNA splicing pathway in yeast (Shull et al., 2005) , hinting at a similar substrate specificity for SARS ADRP. A view of the proposed active site of SARS ADRP along with the superimposed structures of AF1521 and yeast Ymx7 are shown in Figure 4B , highlighting the interactions that are likely between residues of the protein with the ligand. ./cache/cord-277830-6fsz9iy7.txt ./txt/cord-277830-6fsz9iy7.txt
