uridine + phosphate = uracil + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate
steady-state random kinetic mechanism. Reaction follows an ANDN/SN2 mechanism where chemistry contributes significantly to the overall rate-limiting step of the reaction. No kinetically significant proton transfer step is involved at the transition state. Proton transfer to neutralize the leaving group is not part of transition state formation, consistent with an enzyme-stabilized anionic uracil as the leaving group. Kinetic analysis as a function of pH indicates one protonated group essential for catalysis and for substrate binding
-
uridine + phosphate = uracil + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate
binding isotope effects indicate ground-state stabilization in the Michaelis complex, such as bonding environment, ribosyl pucker, and natural bond orbital charges

in complex with 5-fluorouridine, to 2.3 A resolution. The dimeric enzyme is capable of a large hinge motion between its two domains, facilitating ligand exchange and explaining observed cooperativity between the two active sites in binding phosphate-bearing substrates. A loop toward the back end of the uracil binding pocket flexibly adjusts to the varying chemistry of different compounds through an ‘induced-fit association mechanism
-
two crystallographic structures of human isoform UPP2 in distinctly active and inactive conformations, to 2.0 and 1.54 A resolution, respectively. The structures reveal that a conditional intramolecular disulfide bridge can form within the protein that dislocates critical phosphate-coordinating arginine residue R100 away from the active site, disabling the enzyme. The state of the disulfide bridge has further structural consequences for one face of the enzyme that suggest UPP2 may have additional functions in sensing and initiating cellular responses to oxidative stress

modeling of the inhibitors 1-((2-pyrrolidine-1-yl)ethyl)uracil and 3-((2-pyrrolidine-1-yl)ethyl)uracil into the active site of the protein, PDB entry 1NW4, by superposition of the uracil ring and the purine ring of Immucillin-H. Both compounds can fit adequately in the active site. In both cases the uracil base is predicted to be oriented in the nucleoside binding pocket by a pi-stacking similar to the purine base of Immucillin-H. The N1 of the uracil base in 1-((2-pyrrolidine-1-yl)ethyl)uracil and the N3 of the uracil base in 3-((2-pyrrolidine-1-yl)ethyl)uracil roughly superimpose with the C4 of Immucillin-H

The side chains of Glu49B and Ser73B and the carbonyl O atom of Ile69B in the B subunit, as well as symmetrical residues from the D subunit of the BD homodimer, coordinate K+.
