Abstract excerpt
Cytidine triphosphate (CTP) synthase catalyzes the last step in pyrimidine ribonucleotide synthesis, namely the formation of CTP from UTP, ATP, and glutamine. Mutants devoid of CTP synthase activity require cytidine for growth and have been designated pyrG in an obligate cdd background. Using a ts mutation blocked in the conversion of UTP to CTP at 43 degrees C, it was demonstrated that the conversion occurs by...
