EC 2.7.4.22 Details
EC number
2.7.4.22
Accepted name
UMP kinase
Reaction
ATP + UMP = ADP + UDP
Other name(s)
uridylate kinase, UMPK, uridine monophosphate kinase, PyrH, UMP-kinase, SmbA
Systematic name
ATP:UMP phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
9036-23-1
Comment
This enzyme is strictly specific for UMP as substrate and is used by prokaryotes in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, in contrast to eukaryotes, which use the dual-specificity enzyme UMP/CMP kinase (EC 2.7.4.14) for the same purpose [2]. This enzyme is the subject of feedback regulation, being inhibited by UTP and activated by GTP [1].
