Abstract excerpt
A search for candidates for a functional homologue of Escherichia coli MutT in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was made in the NCBI-BLAST database using the Nudix box, a short amino acid sequence conserved among E.coli MutT, Pseudomonoas vulgaris MutT, and human, rat and mouse MTH1. Among five candidates, we focused on the open reading frame YLR151c, because it had a region with approximately 76% similarity to the...
