The substrate specificity of CTP-synthetase from E. coli was investigated by means of UTP analogs. This study revealed that the three main structural elements of the UTP molecule were important for the substrate specificity of the enzyme. CTP-synthetase seems to possess an absolute requirement for the beta-D-ribose 5-triphosphate part in UTP. Substitutents in 5-position of UTP, exceeding the size of a tritium atom abolish substrate function.
利用尿苷三磷酸(UTP)类似物对大肠杆菌CTP合成酶的底物特异性进行了研究。该研究表明,UTP分子的三个主要结构元件对该酶的底物特异性很重要。CTP合成酶似乎对UTP中的β-D-核糖5-三磷酸部分有绝对需求。UTP 5位上的取代基若超过氚原子的大小,就会消除底物功能。
