Abstract excerpt
We have recently identified a complementary DNA clone which encodes the complete amino acid sequence for 2'-deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), the enzyme required for the initial phosphorylation of several deoxyribonucleosides and their analogues that are widely used as chemotherapeutic and antiviral agents. In order to identify the molecular basis for dCK deficiency in two clonal T-lymphoblast cell lines generated by...
