THERMOSTABLE THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE A FROM BACILLUS SUBTILIS
Overview
Unlike all other organisms studied to date, Bacillus subtilis expresses, two different thymidylate synthases: bsTS-A and bsTS-B. bsTS-A displays, enhanced enzymatic and structural thermal stability uncharacteristic of, most TSs. Despite the high level of TS conservation across most species, bsTS-A shares low sequence identity (<40%) with the majority of TSs from, other organisms. This TS and the TSs from Lactococcus lactis and phage, Phi3T-to which it is most similar-have been of interest for some time, since, by structure-based sequence alignment, they appear to lack several, key residues shown by mutagenesis to be essential to enzymatic function, [Greene, P. J., Yu, P. L., Zhao, J., Schiffer, C. A., and Santi, D. (1994), Protein Sci. 3, 1114-6]. In addition, bsTS-A demonstrates ... [(full description)]
