FunFam 27: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase [NADP(+)]

There are 4 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Dihydrouracil dehydrogenase (NAD(+)). [EC: 1.3.1.1]
(1) 5,6-dihydrouracil + NAD(+) = uracil + NADH. (2) 5,6-dihydrothymine + NAD(+) = thymine + NADH.
  • The enzyme was originally discovered in the uracil-fermenting bacterium, Clostridium uracilicum, which utilizes uracil and thymine as nitrogen and carbon sources for growth.
  • Since then the enzyme was found in additional organisms including Alcaligenes eutrophus, Pseudomonas strains and Escherichia coli.

Dihydroorotate oxidase (fumarate). [EC: 1.3.98.1]
(S)-dihydroorotate + fumarate = orotate + succinate.
  • The reaction, which takes place in the cytosol, is the only redox reaction in the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides.
  • Molecular oxygen can replace fumarate in vitro.
  • Other class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases use either NAD(+) (EC 1.3.1.14) or NADP(+) (EC 1.3.1.15) as electron acceptor.
  • The membrane bound class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.5.2) uses quinone as electron acceptor.
  • Formerly EC 1.3.3.1.

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)). [EC: 1.3.1.14]
(S)-dihydroorotate + NAD(+) = orotate + NADH.
  • The enzyme consists of two subunits, an FMN binding catalytic subunit and a FAD and iron-sulfur binding electron transfer subunit.
  • The reaction, which takes place in the cytosol, is the only redox reaction in the de-novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides.
  • Other class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases use either fumarate (EC 1.3.98.1) or NADP(+) (EC 1.3.1.15) as electron acceptor.
  • The membrane bound class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.5.2) uses quinone as electron acceptor.

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (NADP(+)). [EC: 1.3.1.2]
5,6-dihydrouracil + NADP(+) = uracil + NADPH.
  • Also acts on dihydrothymine.
