Expression

EC Number Organism Comment Expression
2.1.1.148 Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus 1 replacement of Escherichia coli thyA gene, EC 2.1.1.45, by thyX and expression under the native thyA promoter. In thymidine-deprived solid and liquid growth media, the mutant strain grows poorly compared with the wild-type strain and is impaired in DNA replication additional information

General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
2.1.1.148 physiological function DNA replication speed in bacteria and archaea that contain the low-activity ThyX enzyme is up to 10fold decreased compared with species that contain the catalytically more efficient ThyA, EC 2.1.1.45. Both ThyX and ThyA participate in frequent reciprocal gene replacement events. The bacterial metabolism continues to modulate the size and composition of prokaryotic genomes. The increased kinetic efficiency of thymidylate synthesis may have contributed to extending the prokaryotic evolutionary potential Helicobacter pylori
