Figure 1.
Figure 1. Pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis and the roles of UMPK demonstrated in Escherichia coli. Prokaryotic UMPK is highlighted within a grey box. The eukaryotic CMP/UMPK is included also. Multiple arrows denote multiple steps. The broken and dotted arrows denote feed-back inhibition and activation, respectively. The double-lined arrow indicates repression by UMPK of the carAB genes, which encode carbamoyl phosphate synthetase. The involvement of the DNA-binding proteins PepA and IHF in this process is indicated. Figure 1. Pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis and the roles of UMPK demonstrated in Escherichia coli.
