4.6.1.6

Accepted name:

cytidylate cyclase

Reaction:

CTP = 3′,5′-cyclic CMP + diphosphate

Glossary:

3′,5′-cyclic CMP = cCMP
cytidylate = CMP

Other name(s):

3′,5′-cyclic-CMP synthase; cytidylyl cyclase; cytidyl cyclase; CTP diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing); pycC (gene name) (ambiguous)

Systematic name:

CTP diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing; 3′,5′-cyclic-CMP-forming)

Comments:

In bacteria and archaea the enzyme's product, cCMP, 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.
