Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis 168 is known to possess two thymidylate synthase (TSase; EC 2.1.1.45) genes: thyA and thyB. thyB encodes a thermosensitive TSase (inactivated at 46 degrees C) which, in wild-type cells, accounts for only 5-8% of the total cellular TSase activity. In order to investigate the thermal lability of TSaseB we have analyzed the thyB genes of B. subtilis 168 and of an unrelated strain B. subtilis...
