UMPS N-terminal domain is an orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT) subunit which catalyzes the addition of ribose-phosphate to orotate forming orotidine 5’-monophosphate (OMP). The C-terminal subunit is orotidine 5’-phosphate decarboxylase (OPD) or OMP decarboxylase which decarboxylates OMP to form UMP. Potent inhibitors of OPD are BMP – a barbituric acid derivative and xanthosine-5'-monophosphate (XMP). Disease Defects in UMPS result in the hereditary rare metabolic disease orotic aciduria[2]. UMPS deficiency in Holstein cattle results in an autosomal disorder which causes early embryonic death of offspring[3]. Structural highlights in its [4] (the surface of chain B doesn't shown).
