Human dUTPase in complex with alpha,beta-imido-dUTP and Mg2+: visualization of the full-length C-termini in all monomers and suggestion for an additional metal ion binding site
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 19302784
Function
[DUT_HUMAN] 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.[1]
