Deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase: characterization of an Escherichia coli mutant deficient in the enzyme. 1971

G A O'Donovan, and G Edlin, and J A Fuchs, and J Neuhard, and E Thomassen

A mutant of Escherichia coli, previously shown to contain abnormal nucleoside triphosphate pools, was found to be defective in its ability to synthesize thymidine nucleotides. The defect is not in the enzyme thymidylate synthetase but in deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase, an enzyme that supplies deoxyuridine monophosphate, the substrate for thymidylate synthetase.
