pyr-2	IVR. Right of nit-3 (2 to 9%). Left of mat (3%) and the T(NM152) right breakpoint (633, 812, 1000, PB). (482)Requires uracil or other pyrimidine. Lacks orotidine 5'-monophosphate pyrophosphorylase activity (133, 134) (Fig. 20). Needs medium containing >0.5 mg of uracil per ml for optimal growth. Allele 38502 is leaky. Pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway, showing sites of gene action (134, 456, 841, 1140). Carbamyl phosphate for arginine synthesis is made as a separate pool by a different enzyme system (see arg-2, arg-3, Fig. 10). Interchange between the two pools occurs only in certain mutant combinations. ATP, Adenosine 5'-monophosphate.	IVR	B
