Abstract excerpt
Caenorhabditis elegans has a single deoxynucleoside kinase-like gene. The sequence is similar to that of human TK1, but besides accepting thymidine as a substrate, the C. elegans TK1 (CeTK1) also phosphorylates deoxyguanosine. In contrast to human TK1, the CeTK1 exclusively exists as a dimer with a molecular mass of approximately 60 kDa, even if incubated with ATP. Incubation with ATP induces a transition into a...
