Chemical compound and disease context of Orotic acid

  • Expression of human UMP synthase cDNAs containing these mutations in pyrimidine auxotrophic Escherichia coli and in recombinant baculovirus-infected Sf21 cells demonstrates impaired activity presumably associated with the urinary orotic acid substrate accumulations observed in vivo [13].
  • The depletion of UTP pools could be reversed within 10 min by the addition of uridine; orotate or uracil were completely ineffective in these hepatoma cells [14].
  • Recombinant adenoviruses deleted in E1 and containing a human OTC cDNA expressed little functional OTC enzyme in vivo and had no observable impact on the underlying metabolic abnormalities of the OTC-deficient mouse (i.e. elevated urinary orotate and serum glutamine) [15].
  • Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHOD) from Escherichia coli is a monomeric membrane-associated flavoprotein that catalyzes the oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate [16].
  • Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase gene polymorphism predicts toxicity in patients treated with bolus 5-fluorouracil regimen [17].
