In enzymology, a S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.28) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + phosphate adenine + S-methyl-5-thio-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine and phosphate, whereas its two products are adenine and S-methyl-5-thio-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-methyl-5-thioadenosine:phosphate S-methyl-5-thio-alpha-D-ribosyl-transferase. Other names in common use include 5'-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase, 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, MTA phosphorylase, MeSAdo phosphorylase, MeSAdo/Ado phosphorylase, methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, methylthioadenosine nucleoside phosphorylase, 5'-methylthioadenosine:phosphate methylthio-D-ribosyl-transferase, and S-methyl-5-thioadenosine phosphorylase. This enzyme participates in methionine metabolism.

ADP-ribosylation is the addition of one or more ADP-ribose moieties to a protein. It is a reversible post-translational modification that is involved in many cellular processes, including cell signaling, DNA repair, gene regulation and apoptosis. Improper ADP-ribosylation has been implicated in some forms of cancer. It is also the basis for the toxicity of bacterial compounds such as cholera toxin, diphtheria toxin, and others.
