Exogenous thymine must be converted to thymidine to enable a thyA (thymidylate synthase) mutant to grow. The deoxyribose in the thymidine comes from dUMP, which must first be dephosphorylated. The nucleotidase YjjG is critical for this step. A yjjG thyA mutant cannot use thymine for growth on a glucose minimal medium.
外源性胸腺嘧啶必须转化为胸苷才能使thyA(胸苷酸合酶)突变体生长。胸苷中的脱氧核糖来自dUMP,dUMP必须首先被去磷酸化。核苷酸酶YjjG在这一步骤中至关重要。yjjG thyA突变体在葡萄糖基本培养基上不能利用胸腺嘧啶生长。
