IUBMB Comments

The enzyme uridylylates and de-uridylylates the small trimeric protein PII. The enzymes from Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium have been wrongly identified, in some databases, as EC 2.7.7.12 (UDP-glucose—hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase), from which it differs greatly in both reaction catalysed and sequence.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryota
