Evolution and horizontal transfer of dUTPase-encoding genes in viruses and their hosts.

Journal of virology - 1 Sept 1999

Baldo A M, McClure M A

Abstract excerpt

dUTPase is a ubiquitous and essential enzyme responsible for regulating cellular levels of dUTP. The dut gene exists as single, tandemly duplicated, and tandemly triplicated copies. Crystallized single-copy dUTPases have been shown to assemble as homotrimers. dUTPase is encoded as an auxiliary gene in a number of virus genomes. The origin of viral dut genes has remained unresolved since their initial discovery. A...
