UMP kinase (EC 2.7.4.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from Escherichia coli and Pyrococcus furiosus converts the nucleotide, uridine monophosphate, to uridine diphosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).[1][2]
Nomenclature
The enzyme is a transferase, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with a phosphate group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:UMP phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include uridylate kinase, UMPK, uridine monophosphate kinase, PyrH, UMP-kinase, and SmbA.[3]
Structural studies
As of March 2010, 19 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, and are deposited in the Protein Data Bank. All have a 3-layer (aba) sandwich) architecture (CATH code 3.40.1160.10). These include accession codes PDB: 2J4J, PDB: 2J4K, PDB: 2J4L, and PDB: 2VA1.
