Pyrimidine oxygenase

Field	Value
Name	Pyrimidine oxygenase
EC_number	1.14.99.46

Pyrimidine oxygenase (, RutA) is an enzyme with systematic name ). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: (1) uracil + FMNH2 + O2 \rightleftharpoons (Z)-3-ureidoacrylate peracid + FMN : (2) thymine + FMNH2 + O2 \rightleftharpoons (Z)-2-methylureidoacrylate peracid + FMN

In vitro the product (Z)-3-ureidoacrylate peracid is spontaneously reduced to ureidoacrylate.
