Protein
dCTP deaminase, dUMP-forming
Organism
Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (strain ATCC 43067 / DSM 2661 / JAL-1 / JCM 10045 / NBRC 100440)
Function
Bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the deamination of dCTP to dUTP and the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP without releasing the toxic dUTP intermediate. It also acts as a dUTP diphosphatase with a lower affinity for dUTP than for dCTP.
Similarity
Belongs to the dCTP deaminase family.
