Identifier
DUT
Protein name
RecName: Full=Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase;
Short=dUTPase;
EC=3.6.1.23;
AltName: Full=dUTP pyrophosphatase;
Gene name
dut


FUNCTION This enzyme is involved in nucleotide metabolism: it produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and it decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY dUTP + H(2)O = dUMP + diphosphate.
COFACTOR Magnesium (By similarity).
PATHWAY Pyrimidine metabolism; dUMP biosynthesis; dUMP from dCTP (dUTP route); step 2/2.
case <OC:Escherichia> or <OC:Mycobacterium>
SUBUNIT Homotrimer (By similarity).
end case
SIMILARITY Belongs to the dUTPase family.




GO:0004170; Molecular function: dUTP diphosphatase activity.
GO:0000287; Molecular function: magnesium ion binding.
GO:0006220; Biological process: pyrimidine nucleotide metabolic process.
