The recently discovered rTS gene is convergent with and overlaps the thymidylate synthase gene in the antisense orientation. K562 B1A and KB 1BT are two methotrexate-resistant cell lines that have amplified genes for dihydrofolate reductase. K562 B1A cells have increased levels of rTS mRNA and protein compared with their parental K562 cells, whereas KB 1BT cells show unaltered rTS expression co...
A method is described for the assay of thymidylate synthetase activity in crude ex tracts of Ehrlich ascites tumor. The method involves the use of tritiated deoxyuridine5'-phosphate as substrate. The inhibition of thymidylate synthetase by 5-fluorodeoxyuridine-5'-phosphate was measured in extracts from one 5-fluorouracil-sensitive and four drug-resistant lines of Ehrlich ascites tumor. A high d...
Thymidylate synthase is an attractive target for antiproliferative drug design because of its key role in the synthesis of DNA. As such, the enzyme has been widely targeted for anticancer applications. In principle, TS should also be a good target for drugs used to fight infectious disease. In practice, TS is highly conserved across species, and it has proven to be difficult to develop inhibito...
Folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism is required for the de novo synthesis of purines, thymidylate, and S-adenosylmethionine, the primary cellular methyl donor. Impairments in folate metabolism diminish cellular methylation potential and genome stability, which are risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). Cytoplasmic serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT1) regulates the partitioning of folate...
For several decades only one chemical pathway was known for the de novo biosynthesis of the essential DNA nucleotide, thymidylate. This reaction catalyzed by thyA or TYMS encoded thymidylate synthases is the last committed step in the biosynthesis of thymidylate and proceeds via the reductive methylation of uridylate. However, many microorganisms have recently been shown to produce a novel, fla...
The thymidylate synthase gene (thy) (EC 2.1.1.45) of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage beta 22 has a self-splicing, group I intron inserted into a highly conserved region of the coding sequence. The intron is very similar to one that is inserted 21 bp further downstream in the homologous thymidylate synthase gene (td) of Escherichia coli bacteriophage T4. In contrast, the amino acid sequences of ...
By using site-directed oligonucleotide mutagenesis, amber nonsense stop codons (5'-TAG-3') have been introduced at 20 sites in the Escherichia coli thymidylate synthase gene. By transforming the thyA mutant plasmids into 13 strains, each of which harbor different amber suppressor tRNAs, we were able to generate over 245 amino acid substitutions in E. coli thymidylate synthase (EC 2.1.1.45). Gro...
Nature has established two mechanistically and structurally unrelated families of thymidylate synthases that produce de novo thymidylate or dTMP, an essential DNA precursor. Representatives of the alternative flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase family, ThyX, are found in a large number of microbial genomes, but are absent in humans. We have exploited the nucleotide binding pocket of ThyX prot...
Correction for 'Thymidylate synthase inspired biomodel reagent for the conversion of uracil to thymine' by Palwinder Singh et al., Chem. Commun., 2015, 51, 9961-9964.
We have studied the roles of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (5,10-methylene-H4PteGlu) depletion and dihydrofolate (H2PteGlu) accumulation in the inhibition of de novo thymidylate synthesis by methotrexate (MTX) in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Using both a high pressure liquid chromatography system and a modification of the 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate radioenzymatic binding ass...
