Bacteriophage T5 dUTPase mutant with loop deletion (30-35 aa)

Structural highlights
FunctionDUT_BPT5 This enzyme decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into viral progeny DNA. This activity is sufficient to exclude uracil from the DNA during phage replication. In the case of dUTPase mutant phages, the host dUTPase activity is not sufficient to exclude uracil from T5 DNA and uracil are incorporated, leading to decreased phage viability.[1] References | ||||||||||||||||||||
