Abstract excerpt
Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is a key cytosolic enzyme in the salvage pathway for dTTP synthesis. In mitotic exit, human TK1 (hTK1) is degraded via the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-Cdh1 pathway to limit dTTP production. In this study, we show that thymidine binding stabilizes hTK1 during growth arrest. By in vitro degradation, ubiquitination, and Cdh1 binding analyses, we provide direct evidence that...
