Studies on the biosynthesis of alpha-putrescinylthymine in bacteriophage phi W-14-infected Pseudomonas acidovorans.

R A Kelln, R A Warren.   

Abstract

The alpha-putrescinylthymine (putThy) in bacteriophage phiW-14 DNA is synthesized at the mononucleotide level: it is labeled by uracil or deoxyuridine but not by thymidine, and it appears in the acid-soluble pool of infected cells before the onset of phage DNA synthesis. The methylene group at the C-5 position of the pyrimidine moiety of putThy is derived in vivo from a C(1) unit. Extracts of a phage infected thymidine auxotroph of the host, Pseudomonas acidovorans, apparently contain a phage-specific thymidylate synthetase and a phage-specific activity which forms 5-hydroxymethyl dUMP from N(5), N(10)-methylene-tetrahydrofolate and dUMP.
