Also known as BUP1
Summary
UPB1 (beta-ureidopropionase 1, HGNC:16297) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q11.23, encoding Beta-ureidopropionase (Q9UBR1). Catalyzes a late step in pyrimidine degradation.
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the CN hydrolase family. Beta-ureidopropionase catalyzes the last step in the pyrimidine degradation pathway. The pyrimidine bases uracil and thymine are degraded via the consecutive action of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DHPDH), dihydropyrimidinase (DHP) and beta-ureidopropionase (UP) to beta-alanine and beta-aminoisobutyric acid, respectively. UP deficiencies are associated with N-carbamyl-beta-amino aciduria and may lead to abnormalities in neurological activity.

Function. Catalyzes a late step in pyrimidine degradation. Converts N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine (3-ureidopropanoate) into beta-alanine, ammonia and carbon dioxide. Likewise, converts N-carbamoyl-beta-aminoisobutyrate (3-ureidoisobutyrate) into beta-aminoisobutyrate, ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer, homotetramer, homooctamer; can also form higher homooligomers.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Detected in liver (at protein level).
Disease relevance. Beta-ureidopropionase deficiency (UPB1D) [MIM:613161] An inborn error of metabolism due to a defect in pyrimidine degradation. It is characterized by muscular hypotonia, dystonic movements, scoliosis, microcephaly and severe developmental delay. Patients show strongly elevated levels of N-carbamyl-beta-alanine and N-carbamyl-beta-aminoisobutyric acid in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid and urine. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Strongly inhibited by 50 mM Zn(2+). Not inhibited by EDTA. Competitively inhibited by beta-alanine, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), beta-aminoisobutyrate and 4-ureidobutyrate.
Pathway. Amino-acid biosynthesis; beta-alanine biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the carbon-nitrogen hydrolase superfamily. BUP family.
