Initiation of cytosolic plant purine nucleotide catabolism involves a monospecific xanthosine monophosphate phosphatase

Dephosphorylation of xanthosine monophosphate (XMP) initiates purine nucleotide catabolism in plant cells. Here the authors identify an XMP phosphatase from Arabidopsis that channels XMP towards catabolism in vivo and demonstrate the structural basis for its XMP specificity.
