Crystal structure of Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase from Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia 1 in complex with dUMP (Deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate)
[DUT_LEGPH] 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.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00116]
