Catalysis of the reaction: 2'-deoxyadenosine + H2O = deoxyinosine + NH3. [GOC:ai, RHEA:28190]
2'-deoxyadenosine deaminase (dADA) activity catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of 2'-deoxyadenosine to 2'-deoxyinosine. This reaction is essential for the purine salvage pathway, which recycles purine bases from degraded nucleic acids to form new nucleotides. The enzyme utilizes a zinc ion as a cofactor to facilitate the deamination process. The catalytic mechanism involves the abstraction of a proton from the N3 position of 2'-deoxyadenosine, followed by nucleophilic attack by a water molecule on the C6 atom. The resulting intermediate is then hydrolyzed to produce 2'-deoxyinosine and ammonia. dADA activity is crucial for maintaining cellular nucleotide pools and preventing the accumulation of 2'-deoxyadenosine, which can inhibit DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Mutations in the dADA gene can lead to severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a life-threatening condition characterized by impaired immune function.'

dideoxyadenosine | Dideoxyadenosine: A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by a hydrogen. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is an inhibitor of HIV replication, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA by binding to reverse transcriptase. Its principal side effect is nephrotoxicity. In vivo, dideoxyadenosine is rapidly metabolized to DIDANOSINE (ddI) by enzymatic deamination; ddI is then converted to dideoxyinosine monophosphate and ultimately to dideoxyadenosine triphosphate, the putative active metabolite. | adenosines; purine 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside | EC 3.5.4.4 (adenosine deaminase) inhibitor; EC 4.6.1.1 (adenylate cyclase) inhibitor |
