TAIR Computational Description | GTP cyclohydrolase II;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | encodes GTP cyclohydrolase II that can functionally complement E. coli mutant deficient in this gene. It also has 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphate synthase activity which makes it a bifunctional enzyme involved in the formation of the pyrimidine and of the carbohydrate from GTP and ribulose-5-phosphate, respectively The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
