FunctionInvolved in biosynthesis of thymidylate. 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 [catalytic activity: dUTP + H(2)O = dUMP + pyrophosphate].
ProductProbable deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase Dut (dUTPase) (dUTP pyrophosphatase) (deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphatase) (dUTP diphosphatase) (deoxyuridine-triphosphatase)
CommentsRv2697c, (MT2771, MTCY05A6.18c), len: 154 aa. Probable dut, deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (see citation below), equivalent to Q49992|DUT_MYCLE|ML1028 deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase from Mycobacterium leprae (154 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 928, E(): 2.1e-51, (90.25% identity in 154 aa overlap). Also highly similar to others e.g. O54134|DUT_STRCO|SC2E9.09 from Streptomyces coelicolor (183 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 534, E(): 1.2e-26, (56.1% identity in 148 aa overlap); O66592|DUT_AQUAE|AQ_220 from Aquifex aeolicus (150 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 398, E(): 3.3e-18, (48.05% identity in 152 aa overlap); Q9X3X5|DUT_ZYMMO from Zymomonas mobilis (146 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 396, E(): 4.4e-18, (49.0% identity in 147 aa overlap); etc. Belongs to the dUTPase family.
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsIdentified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the culture filtrate, membrane protein fraction, and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See de Souza et al., 2011).
MutantEssential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Essential gene by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis in H37Rv strain (see Sassetti et al., 2003).
