Disease relevance of deoB

 

High impact information on deoB

  • From a strain in which Mu-1 is inserted in drm, a mutant has been isolated that has a deletion extending into tpp [1].
  • Northern blot and enzyme analyses showed that drm and pupG form a dicistronic operon [3].
  • The characterization of two closely linked loci, drm and pupG, which encode phosphopentomutase (Drm) and guanosine (inosine) phosphorylase (PupG), respectively, is reported here [3].
  • It relies on the detection as papillae on thy colonies of second mutations either at the dra or drm locus [4].
  • E. coli transformants expressing phosphopentomutase and nucleoside phosphorylase produced 2'-deoxyribonucleosides from 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate and a nucleobase via 2-deoxyribose 1-phosphate through the reverse reactions of 2'-deoxyribonucleoside degradation [5].
