Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase YncF

UniProtKB accession:  O31801

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in nucleotide metabolism: produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP, so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA (Probable). The Ser-64 side chain changes its position upon ligand-binding to make contacts with the nucleotide phosphates (PubMed:20823546).
