Function: This protein is a "fusion" protein encoding four enzymatic activities of the pyrimidine pathway (GATase, CPSase, ATCase and DHOase).
Catalytic activity: 2 ATP + L-glutamine + HCO(3)(-) + H(2)O = 2 ADP + phosphate + L-glutamate + carbamoyl phosphate. Carbamoyl phosphate + L-aspartate = phosphate + N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. (S)-dihydroorotate + H(2)O = N-carbamoyl-L- aspartate.
Pathway: Pyrimidine metabolism; UMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; (S)-dihydroorotate from bicarbonate: step 1/3. Pyrimidine metabolism; UMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; (S)-dihydroorotate from bicarbonate: step 2/3. Pyrimidine metabolism; UMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; (S)-dihydroorotate from bicarbonate: step 3/3.
Cellular location: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Cytosolic and unphosphorylated in resting cells, translocates to the nucleus in response to EGF stimulation, nuclear import promotes optimal cell growth.
