Abstract excerpt
Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the deoxyribonucleoside salvage pathway in mammalian cells and plays a key role in the activation of numerous nucleoside analogues used in anti-cancer and antiviral chemotherapy. Although compelling evidence indicated that dCK activity might be regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, direct demonstration was lacking. Here we showed that dCK...
