Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine the enzyme can be used as a suicide gene in combined gene/chemotherapy treatment of cancer Drosophila melanogaster

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
overexpression of wild-type and mutant enzyme fused to GFP in cancer cell lines in the nucleus and cytosol, respectively Drosophila melanogaster

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information overexpression in cancer cell lines leads to increased cell sensitivity to several cytotoxic nucleoside analogues, expression of wild-type and mutant enzyme in an osteosarcoma cell line utilizing a replication-deficient retroviral vector reveals that the localization of the enzyme in cytosol or nucleus is not important for cell sensitivity and bystander cell killing Drosophila melanogaster
R247S site-directed mutagenesis, mutation abolishes nuclear import of the enzyme, the mutant enzyme is localized in the cytosol Drosophila melanogaster

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
additional information increased cell sensitivity to nucleoside analogues E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine and 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylthymine in recombinant cancer cells overexpressing the enzyme in the nucleus or cytosol Drosophila melanogaster
