This enzyme is strictly specific for UMP as substrate and is used by prokaryotes in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, in contrast to eukaryotes, which use the dual-specificity enzyme UMP/CMP kinase (EC 2.7.4.14) for the same purpose . This enzyme is the subject of feedback regulation, being inhibited by UTP and activated by GTP .

ATP:UMP phosphotransferase
This enzyme is strictly specific for UMP as substrate and is used by prokaryotes in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, in contrast to eukaryotes, which use the dual-specificity enzyme UMP/CMP kinase (EC 2.7.4.14) for the same purpose [2]. This enzyme is the subject of feedback regulation, being inhibited by UTP and activated by GTP [1].
Co2+ and Ni2+ substitute poorly for Mg2+ and give limited enzyme activity, while Ca2+ and Zn2+ are unable to activate UMP kinase within 0-5 mM. UMP kinase activity of the HP0777 protein is completely abolished in the absence of divalent cations

LITERATURE
complexed with GTP, hanging drop vapor diffusion method, using 150 mM sodium acetate pH 4.8, 270 mM ammonium sulfate, 18% (w/v) PEG MME 550. Complexed with UDP, hanging drop vapor diffusion method, using 0.15 M sodium acetate pH 4.8, 0.35 M ammonium sulfate, 28% (w/v)PEG MME 550
the UMP kinase activity of the HP0777 protein is lost within a week when preserved at pH 9.0, but can be maintained for at least 2 weeks in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4
