Protein
Probable deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase YncF
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
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.
Similarity
Belongs to the dUTPase family.
