The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase A, chain A, domain 2
".

Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily EC Annotations

Note: the EC figure is not being displayed for this superfamily as there are more than 100 different EC terms.

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Dihydroorotate oxidase (fumarate). [EC: 1.3.98.1]
(S)-dihydroorotate + fumarate = orotate + succinate.
  • The reaction, which takes place in the cytosol, is the only redox reaction in the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides.
  • Molecular oxygen can replace fumarate in vitro.
  • Other class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases use either NAD(+) (EC 1.3.1.14) or NADP(+) (EC 1.3.1.15) as electron acceptor.
  • The membrane bound class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.5.2) uses quinone as electron acceptor.
  • Formerly EC 1.3.3.1.

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)). [EC: 1.3.1.14]
(S)-dihydroorotate + NAD(+) = orotate + NADH.
  • The enzyme consists of two subunits, an FMN binding catalytic subunit and a FAD and iron-sulfur binding electron transfer subunit.
  • The reaction, which takes place in the cytosol, is the only redox reaction in the de-novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides.
  • Other class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases use either fumarate (EC 1.3.98.1) or NADP(+) (EC 1.3.1.15) as electron acceptor.
  • The membrane bound class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.5.2) uses quinone as electron acceptor.
