Abstract excerpt
DR2231 from Deinococcus radiodurans was previously functionally and structurally characterized as an all-α NTP pyrophosphohydrolase with specific dUTPase activity. dUTPases have a central role in the regulation of dUTP intracellular levels and dTTP nucleotide metabolism. DR2231 presents a conserved dimetal catalytic site, similar to all-α dimeric dUTPases, but contrary to these enzymes, it is unable to process...
