EC 1.14.11.49

Accepted name: uridine-5'-phosphate dioxygenase

Reaction: UMP + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = 5'-dehydrouridine + succinate + CO2 + phosphate

Glossary: 5'-dehydrouridine = uridine-5'-aldehyde

Other name(s): lipL (gene name)

Systematic name: UMP,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme catalyses a net dephosphorylation and oxidation of UMP to generate 5'-dehydrouridine, the first intermediate in the biosynthesis of the unusual aminoribosyl moiety found in several C7-furanosyl nucleosides such as A-90289s, caprazamycins, liposidomycins, muraymycins and FR-900453. Requires Fe2+.
