Abstract excerpt
Aside of the gene coding for cytoplasmic thymidine kinase, the genome of mouse cells carries two pseudogenes. Both are inactive in situ. One of the pseudogenes is a processed pseudogene in which a two base pair deletion caused a shift of the reading frame and a shortening of the gene product from the 233 amino acids of thymidine kinase to 177 amino acids in the pseudogene product. We report here that introduction...
