== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/DUT_HUMAN DUT_HUMAN] This enzyme is involved in nucleotide metabolism: it produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and it decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA.<ref>PMID:8805593</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Human dUTPase, essential for DNA integrity, is an important survival factor for cancer cells. We determined the crystal structure of the enzyme:alpha,beta-imino-dUTP:Mg complex and performed equilibrium binding experiments in solution. Ordering of the C-terminus upon the active site induces close juxtaposition of the incoming nucleophile attacker water oxygen and the alpha-phosphorus of the substrate, decreasing their distance below the van der Waals limit. Complex interactions of the C-terminus with both substrate and product were observed via a specifically designed tryptophan sensor, suitable for further detailed kinetic and ligand binding studies. Results explain the key functional role of the C-terminus.

Active site closure facilitates juxtaposition of reactant atoms for initiation of catalysis by human dUTPase.,Varga B, Barabas O, Kovari J, Toth J, Hunyadi-Gulyas E, Klement E, Medzihradszky KF, Tolgyesi F, Fidy J, Vertessy BG FEBS Lett. 2007 Oct 2;581(24):4783-8.
