Function
function
Catalyzes the ATP-dependent amination of UTP to CTP with either L-glutamine or ammonia as the source of nitrogen. Regulates intracellular CTP levels through interactions with the four ribonucleotide triphosphates.
Miscellaneous
CTPSs have evolved a hybrid strategy for distinguishing between UTP and CTP. The overlapping regions of the product feedback inhibitory and substrate sites recognize a common feature in both compounds, the triphosphate moiety. To differentiate isosteric substrate and product pyrimidine rings, an additional pocket far from the expected kinase/ligase catalytic site, specifically recognizes the cytosine and ribose portions of the product inhibitor.
Catalytic activity
- UTP + L-glutamine + ATP + H2O = CTP + L-glutamate + ADP + phosphate + 2 H+
- L-glutamine + H2O = L-glutamate + NH4+
- UTP + NH4+ + ATP = CTP + ADP + phosphate + 2 H+
Activity regulation
Allosterically activated by GTP, when glutamine is the substrate; GTP has no effect on the reaction when ammonia is the substrate. The allosteric effector GTP functions by stabilizing the protein conformation that binds the tetrahedral intermediate(s) formed during glutamine hydrolysis. Inhibited by the product CTP, via allosteric rather than competitive inhibition.
Pathway
Pyrimidine metabolism; CTP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; CTP from UDP: step 2/2.
