Biochemical characterization of uracil phosphoribosyltransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Biochemical characterization of uracil phosphoribosyltransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) catalyzes the conversion of uracil and 5-phosphoribosyl-α-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) to uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) and pyrophosphate (PP(i)). UPRT plays an important role in the pyrimidine salvage pathway since UMP is a common precursor of all pyrimidine...
