Uridine-cytidine kinase (UCK), which converts uridine and cytidine to their corresponding monophosphates, is a rate-limiting enzyme involved in the salvage pathway of pyrimidine-nucleotide biosynthesis. Two members of human UCK, named UCK1 and UCK2, were cloned recently and UCK2 was reported to play a crucial role in activating anti-tumour pro-drugs in human cancer cells. Human UCK2 was expressed, purified and crystallized alone or in complex with various ligands. Free UCK and UCK complexes were crystallized in six crystal forms. Form I (ligand-free) belongs to space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 83.1, b = 93.7, c = 157.1 A. Forms IIa (with CTP), IIb (with UTP) and IIc (with cytidine) belong to space group F222, with unit-cell parameters a = 133.3, b = 247.3, c = 91.6 A (IIa), a = 132.1, b = 247.0, c = 91.5 A (IIb) and a = 136.7, b = 246.3, c = 90.4 A (IIc), respectively. Form III (with ATPgammaS) belongs to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 70.3, b = 149.9, c = 117.2 A. Form IV (with cytidine and ATP) belongs to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 89.0, b = 109.7, c = 64.8 A, beta = 95.3 degrees. Diffraction data were collected from these crystals; form IV diffracted to 1.8 A resolution.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D002384 Catalysis The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction. Catalyses
D003460 Crystallization The formation of crystalline substances from solutions or melts.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D014541 Uridine Kinase An enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to uridine 5'-phosphate and cytidine 5'-phosphate, respectively. ATP, dUTP, dGTP, and dATP are effective phosphate donors. EC 2.7.1.48. Cytidine Kinase,Uridine-Cytidine Kinase,Kinase, Cytidine,Kinase, Uridine,Kinase, Uridine-Cytidine,Uridine Cytidine Kinase
D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.
