KEGG   ENZYME: 4.6.1.26
Entry
EC 4.6.1.26                 Enzyme                                 
Name
uridylate cyclase;
pycC (gene name) (ambiguous)
Class
Lyases;
Phosphorus-oxygen lyases;
Phosphorus-oxygen lyases (only sub-subclass identified to date)
Sysname
UTP diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing; 3',5'-cyclic-UMP-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
UTP = 3',5'-cyclic UMP + diphosphate [RN:R12998]
Reaction(KEGG)
R12998
Substrate
UTP [CPD:C00075]
Product
3',5'-cyclic UMP [CPD:C22509];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
The enzyme, found in bacteria and archaea, forms cUMP, which functions as a second messenger in bacterial immunity against viruses. The enzyme is synthesized following phage infection and activates immune effectors that execute an antiviral response.
