  "summary": "dUTPases are essential enzymes for nucleotide metabolism as they catalyze the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP, thus preventing the toxic incorporation of uracil into DNA. dUTPases are found in all domains of life, including bacteriophages, where they serve multiple functions to support phage propagation. Phage-encoded dUTPases reduce cellular dUTP levels and provide precursors for de novo dTTP…",
