Disease relevance of pyrE

Pyrimidine biosynthesis genes (pyrE and pyrF) of an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus [1].
Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase from Thermus thermophilus: overexpression in Escherichia coli, purification and characterization [2].

High impact information on pyrE

A part of the pyrimidine biosynthetic operon including genes for orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (pyrE) and for orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (pyrF) was cloned and sequenced [1].
