A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 1.3.98.1

Accepted Name
Dihydroorotate oxidase (fumarate).
Alternative Name(s)
DHOD.
DHODase.
DHOdehase.
Dihydoorotic acid dehydrogenase.
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase.
Dihydroorotate oxidase.
Reaction catalysed
(S)-dihydroorotate + fumarate <=> orotate + succinate
Cofactor(s)
FMN.
Comment(s)
  • 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.
