Molecular Insights into How the Dimetal Center in Dihydropyrimidinase Can Bind the Thymine Antagonist 5-Aminouracil: A Different Binding Mode from the Anticancer Drug 5-Fluorouracil

Dihydropyrimidinase (DHPase) is a key enzyme for pyrimidine degradation. DHPase contains a binuclear metal center in which two Zn ions are bridged by a posttranslationally carbamylated lysine. DHPase catalyzes the hydrolysis of dihydrouracil to N-carbamoyl-β-alanine. Whether 5-aminouracil (5-AU), a...
