UniProt functional annotation for P0CI79 | ||
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
| UniProt code: P0CI79. |
|
||
| Organism: | |
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). |
| Taxonomy: | |
Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. |
|
||
|
||
| Function: | |
Catalyzes the reductive methylation of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'- monophosphate (dUMP) to 2'-deoxythymidine-5'-monophosphate (dTMP) while utilizing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (mTHF) as the methyl donor and reductant in the reaction, yielding dihydrofolate (DHF) as a by- product. This enzymatic reaction provides an intracellular de novo source of dTMP, an essential precursor for DNA biosynthesis. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00008}. |
|
