The Mycobacterium tuberculosis cmk gene, predicted to encode a CMP kinase (CMK), was cloned and expressed, and its product was purified to homogeneity. Steady-state kinetics confirmed that M. tuberculosis CMK is a monomer that preferentially phosphorylates CMP and dCMP by a sequential mechanism. A plausible role for CMK is discussed.
结核分枝杆菌的cmk基因,预计编码一种CMP激酶(CMK),被克隆并表达,其产物被纯化至同质。稳态动力学证实,结核分枝杆菌CMK是一种单体,通过顺序机制优先磷酸化CMP和dCMP。文中讨论了CMK可能的作用。
