LITERATURE
metabolism
-
blockage of the alternative dUMP phosphatase pathway for deoxyribose-1-phosphate generation greatly exacerbates the severity of thymine starvation in enriched media, and under these conditions the dgt pathway becomes crucial in protecting the cells against thymineless death
physiological function
-
the minimal amount of thymine required for growth of thymine-requiring (thyA) strains decreases with increased expression level of the dgt gene. As expected, this dgt-mediated effect is dependent on the DeoD purine nucleoside phosphorylase. ThyA strains experience growth difficulties upon nutritional shift-up, the dgt gene facilitates adaptation to the new growth conditions
