FunctionDeoxyuridine 5’-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase or Deoxyuridine triphosphatase or dUTP pyrophosphatase (DUTP) catalyzes the conversion of dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate (PPi). DUTP plays a key role in keeping significant amounts of dUTP from the DNA synthesis pathway. Prokaryotic DUTP contains metal ion. [1] RelevanceDUTP inhibitors are being tested as possible anti-bacterial agents targeting diseases like malaria, leishmaniasis, tuberculosis and trypanosomiasis. Structural highlightsThe contains Mg+2 ions which are essensial for DUTP activity. The .[2] Water molecules are labeled Wa. 3D structures of dUTPase
