Escherichia coli LD0181 is sensitive to 15 micrograms of 2',3'-dideoxythymidine per ml. A derivative that was resistant to 40 micrograms of the same chemical per ml at 30 degrees C and that had lost the ability to grow on enriched medium at 42 degrees C was isolated after nitroso-guanidine mutagenesis. This mutant, TD105, produced a dTMP kinase with 25-fold lower specific activity and a 5-fold higher Km for dTMP than the parental strain. The dTMP pool in TD105 was 4.4-fold higher than in the parent. In addition to temperature sensitivity and resistance to 2',3'-dideoxythymidine, the mutant exhibited a hypersensitivity to 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine. All three of these phenotypes are cotransducible. The tmk gene was mapped by cotransduction to approximately 30 min on the E. coli map.
大肠杆菌LD0181对每毫升15微克的2',3'-双脱氧胸苷敏感。经亚硝基胍诱变后,分离出一种衍生物,它在30℃时对每毫升40微克的同一化学物质具有抗性,并且丧失了在42℃的富集培养基上生长的能力。这个突变体TD105产生的胸苷酸激酶比亲本菌株的比活性低25倍,对胸苷酸的Km值高5倍。TD105中的胸苷酸池比亲本高4.4倍。除了温度敏感性和对2',3'-双脱氧胸苷的抗性外,该突变体对5-溴-2'-脱氧尿苷表现出超敏感性。所有这三种表型都是共转导的。通过共转导将tmk基因定位在大肠杆菌染色体图谱上大约30分钟处。
