Description | Pyrimidine monooxygenase RutA catalyzes the pyrimidine ring opening between N-3 and C-4 by an unusual flavin hydroperoxide-catalyzed mechanism to yield ureidoacrylate peracid [ , ]. It cleaves pyrmidine rings directly by adding oxygen atoms, making a toxic ureidoacrylate peracid product which can be spontaneously reduced to ureidoacrylate []. | Name | Pyrimidine monooxygenase RutA |
