Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionpyr-1 encodes the C. elegans protein CAD which is orthologous to the human gene Carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS1); pyr-1 encodes a single protein with predicted carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, aspartate transcarbamoylase, and dihydroorotase activities (CAD), which is involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis; pyr-1 mutants can be rescued by the supply of exogenous pyrimidines; genetic interaction studies indicate that pyr-1 may function upstream of sqv-1, sqv-2, rib-1 and rib-2, genes involved in heparan sulphate proteoglycan biosynthesis, by providing pyrimidine for nucleotide sugars essential for the synthesis of heparan sulphate proteoglycan; pyr-1 is essential for viability and for proper morphogenesis of the pharynx, indicating that proteoglycan synthesis is essential for pharyngeal organogenesis.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004637

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable aspartate carbamoyltransferase activity and dihydroorotase activity. Predicted to contribute to carbamoyl-phosphate synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity. Involved in several processes, including pharyngeal gland morphogenesis; pharynx development; and pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in intestine. Used to study carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency disease and orotic aciduria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 50. Is an ortholog of human CAD (carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 2, aspartate transcarbamylase, and dihydroorotase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceHuman Carbamoylphosphate synthetase (CPS1), a mitochondrial isozyme, acts in the urea cycle to generate carbomoyl phosphate, for the end-production of urea; CPS1 when mutated, causes hyperammonemia (Carbamoylphosphate synthetase I deficiency), an autosomal recessive metabolic disease, leading to the accumulation of toxic ammonia in the body leading to neurological problems; CPS1 is also associated with increased risk of pulmonary hypertension in newborns; C. elegans pyr-1/CPS1/CAD is required for morphogenesis of the pharynx, which requires both de novo synthesis of pyrimidines and synthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG); pyr-1 functions in de novo pyrimidine synthesis and functions upstream of proteoglycan synthesizing enzymes by providing precursors of UDP-sugars essential for HSPG.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00031153

Reference (10)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
