The mitochondrial enzyme thymidine kinase 2 (TK2) phosphorylates deoxythymidine (dT) and deoxycytidine (dC) to form dTMP and dCMP, which in cells rapidly become the negative-feedback end-products dTTP and dCTP. TK2 kinetic activity exhibits Hill coefficients of ∼0.5 (apparent negative cooperativity) for dT and ∼1 for dC. We present a mathematical model of TK2 activity that is applicable if TK2 exists as two monomer forms in equilibrium.
线粒体酶胸苷激酶2(TK2)将脱氧胸苷(dT)和脱氧胞苷(dC)磷酸化,形成dTMP和dCMP,而在细胞中它们会迅速转变为负反馈终产物dTTP和dCTP。TK2的动力学活性对dT表现出约0.5的希尔系数(表观负协同性),对dC表现出约1的希尔系数。我们提出了一个TK2活性的数学模型,该模型适用于TK2以两种单体形式处于平衡状态的情况。
