Also known as TYKiUMP-CMPK2NDK
Summary
CMPK2 (cytidine/uridine monophosphate kinase 2, HGNC:27015) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p25.2, encoding UMP-CMP kinase 2, mitochondrial (Q5EBM0). Mitochondrial nucleotide monophosphate kinase needed for salvage dNTP synthesis that mediates immunomodulatory and antiviral activities through IFN-dependent and IFN-independent pathways.
This gene encodes one of the enzymes in the nucleotide synthesis salvage pathway that may participate in terminal differentiation of monocytic cells. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

UMP-CMP kinase 2, mitochondrial — Q5EBM0 (reviewed: Q5EBM0)
Alternative names: Nucleoside-diphosphate kinase
All UniProt accessions (1): Q5EBM0
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Mitochondrial nucleotide monophosphate kinase needed for salvage dNTP synthesis that mediates immunomodulatory and antiviral activities through IFN-dependent and IFN-independent pathways. Restricts the replication of multiple viruses including flaviviruses or coronaviruses. Together with viperin/RSAD2 and ddhCTP, suppresses the replication of several coronaviruses through inhibition of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activities. Concerning flaviviruses, restricts RNA translation when localized to the mitochondria independently of its kinase activity. Is able to phosphorylate dUMP, dCMP, CMP, UMP and monophosphates of the pyrimidine nucleoside analogs ddC, dFdC, araC, BVDU and FdUrd with ATP as phosphate donor. Efficacy is highest for dUMP followed by dCMP while CMP and UMP are poor substrates. Controls therefore mitochondrial DNA synthesis by supplying required deoxyribonucleotides. CMPK2-dependent mitochondrial DNA synthesis is necessary for the production of oxidized mitochondrial DNA fragments after exposure to NLRP3 activators. In turn, cytosolic oxidized mtDNA associates with the NLRP3 inflammasome complex and is required for its activation.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.
Tissue specificity. High levels are observed in myeloid, lymphoid and mesenchymal tissues.
Disease relevance. Basal ganglia calcification, idiopathic, 10, autosomal recessive (IBGC10) [MIM:621018] A form of basal ganglia calcification, a genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by symmetric calcification in the basal ganglia and other brain regions. Affected individuals can either be asymptomatic or show a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric symptoms, including parkinsonism, dystonia, tremor, ataxia, dementia, psychosis, seizures, and chronic headache. Serum levels of calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone are normal. The neuropathological hallmark of the disease is vascular and pericapillary calcification, mainly of calcium phosphate, in the affected brain areas. IBGC10 is a progressive form characterized by motor dysfunction, speech impairment, and impaired cognition. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Induction. By interferon-alpha. IRF1 is crucial for the transcriptional activation of CMPK2.
Similarity. Belongs to the thymidylate kinase family.
