The prokaryotic UMP kinase NMPK05 is specific for UMP as substrate and is used by prokaryotes in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, in contrast to eukaryotes, which use the dual-specificity enzyme UMP/CMP kinase (EC 2.7.4.14) for the same purpose. Secondary substrates are GMP and - to a much lesser extent - CMP. This enzyme is the subject of feedback regulation, being inhibited by UTP and activated by GTP. NMPK05 is thermostable up to 80°C.
