Identification and Biochemical Characterization of an Acid Sphingomyelinase-Like Protein from the Bacterial Plant Pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum that Hydrolyzes ATP to AMP but Not Sphingomyelin to Ceramide

Acid sphingomyelinase (aSMase) is a human enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to generate the bioactive lipid ceramide and phosphocholine. ASMase deficiency is the underlying cause of the genetic diseases Niemann-Pick Type A and B and has been implicated in the onset and progressio...
