General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the second step of the reductive pyrimidine degradation, the reversible hydrolytic ring opening of dihydropyrimidines. Can catalyze the ring opening of 5,6-dihydrouracil to N-carbamyl-alanine and of 5,6-dihydrothymine to N-carbamyl-amino isobutyrate.

Catalytic activity

5,6-dihydrouracil + H2O = 3-ureidopropanoate.

Cofactor

Binds 2 zinc ions per subunit. Ref.4

Subunit structure

Homotetramer Probable.

Tissue specificity

Liver and kidney.

Post-translational modification

Carbamylation allows a single lysine to coordinate two zinc ions By similarity.

Involvement in disease

Dihydropyrimidinase deficiency (DHPD) [MIM:222748]: A disorder characterized by dihydropyrimidinuria and associated with a variable clinical phenotype characterized by epileptic or convulsive attacks, dysmorphic features and severe developmental delay, and congenital microvillous atrophy.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.2

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the DHOase family. Hydantoinase/dihydropyrimidinase subfamily.
