EC 4.6.1.26     
Accepted name: uridylate cyclase
Reaction: UTP = 3′,5′-cyclic UMP + diphosphate
Glossary: 3′,5′-cyclic UMP = cUMP
uridylate = CMP
Other name(s): pycC (gene name) (ambiguous)
Systematic name: UTP diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing; 3′,5′-cyclic-UMP-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, found in bacteria and archaea, forms cUMP, which functions as a second messenger in bacterial immunity against viruses. The enzyme is synthesized following phage infection and activates immune effectors that execute an antiviral response.
