| UniProt functional annotation for P41007 | |||
| UniProt code: P41007. |
| Organism: | Bacillus caldolyticus. | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Geobacillus; Geobacillus thermoleovorans group. | |
| Function: | Regulates transcriptional attenuation of the pyrimidine nucleotide (pyr) operon by binding in a uridine-dependent manner to specific sites on pyr mRNA. This disrupts an antiterminator hairpin in the RNA and favors formation of a downstream transcription terminator, leading to a reduced expression of downstream genes (Probable). {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Function: | Also displays a weak uracil phosphoribosyltransferase activity which is not physiologically significant. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=diphosphate + UMP = 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate + uracil; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13017, ChEBI:CHEBI:17568, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:57865, ChEBI:CHEBI:58017; EC=2.4.2.9; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer and homohexamer; in equilibrium. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. PyrR subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
