Data class Protein
Names PyrR



Identifier PYRR
Protein name
RecName: Full=Bifunctional protein pyrR;
RecName: Full=Pyrimidine operon regulatory protein;
RecName: Full=Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase;
Short=UPRTase;
EC=2.4.2.9;
Gene name pyrR

case <OC:Firmicutes>
FUNCTION: Regulates transcriptional attenuation of the pyrimidine nucleotide (pyr) operon by binding in a uridine-dependent manner to specific sites on pyr mRNA. This disrupts an antiterminator hairpin in the RNA and favors formation of a downstream transcription terminator, leading to a reduced expression of downstream genes (By similarity).
end case


case not <OC:Firmicutes>
FUNCTION: Regulates the transcription of the pyrimidine nucleotide (pyr) operon in response to exogenous pyrimidines (By similarity).
end case

FUNCTION: Displays also a weak uracil phosphoribosyltransferase activity which is not physiologically significant (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: UMP + diphosphate = uracil + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate.

case <OC:Firmicutes>
SUBUNIT: Homodimer and homohexamer; in equilibrium (By similarity).
end case

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. PyrR subfamily.
