Introduction
Orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase), also known as orotidine 5’-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMP decarboxylase) or orotidine 5’-phosphate decarboxylase is an enzyme involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis. It catalyzes the conversion of orotidine 5’-monophosphate (OMP) to uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP). This reaction is the final step in de novo pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis and is an essential precursor for both DNA and RNA. The main structure of orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase is a TIM barrel, with one side acting as the binding site, while the other side is closed-off. This enzyme has been studied for it’s extreme catalytic proficiency[1].

UMP Synthase
In multicellular eukaryotes, orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase associates with orotate phosphoribosyltransferase to form a bifunctional protein, UMP synthase[3][4]. UMP synthase carries out the last two steps in pyrimidine biosynthesis, converting orotate to uridine 5'-monophosphate[4]. This reaction involves first adding ribose-P to orotate to form orotidine 5'-monophosphate, followed by a decarboxylation reaction to form uridine 5'-monophosphate[4]. In microorganisms these two enzymes are separate and coded by distinct genes. However research has shown that all multicellular eukaryotes so far code the genes for these two enzymes together and as a result they are covalently bonded as a bifunctional protein with two distinct catalytic domains[4].
