Uridine monophosphate synthetase (UMPS) (orotate phosphoribosyl transferase and orotidine-5'-decarboxylase) is the enzyme (EC 4.1.1.23) that catalyses the formation of uridine monophosphate (UMP), an energy carrying molecule in many important biosynthetic pathways. [1] In humans, the gene that codes for this enzyme is located on the long arm of chromosome 3 (3q13).[2]

Clinical significance

A UMP synthetase deficiency can result in a metabolic disorder called orotic aciduria.[3]

Deficiency of this enzyme is an inherited autosomal recessive trait in Holstein cattle, and it will cause death before birth.[4]

Deficiency of the enzyme can be studied in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The rad-6 strain has a premature stop codon eliminating the orotidine 5’-decarboxylase domain of the protein; this domain does not occur in any other proteins encoded by the genome. The strain has a pleiotropic phenotype including reduced viability and fertility, slow growth and radiation sensitivity.[5]
