EC 1.3.1.14 Details
EC number
1.3.1.14
Accepted name
dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (NAD+)
Reaction
(S)-dihydroorotate + NAD+ = orotate + NADH + H+
Other name(s)
orotate reductase (NADH), orotate reductase (NADH2), DHOdehase (ambiguous), DHOD (ambiguous), DHODase (ambiguous), dihydroorotate oxidase, pyrD (gene name)
Systematic name
(S)-dihydroorotate:NAD+ oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
37255-26-8
Comment
Binds FMN, FAD and a [2Fe-2S] cluster. The enzyme consists of two subunits, an FMN binding catalytic subunit and a FAD and iron-sulfur binding electron transfer subunit [4]. 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.
