Abstract excerpt
Pyrimidine-requiring cdd mutants of Escherichia coli deficient in cytidine deaminase utilize cytidine as a pyrimidine source by an alternative pathway. This has been presumed to involve phosphorylation of cytidine to CMP by cytidine/uridine kinase and subsequent hydrolysis of CMP to cytosine and ribose 5-phosphate by a putative CMP hydrolase. Here we show that cytidine, in cdd strains, is converted directly to...
