title: [Thymidine kinase from sea urchin oocytes].
abstract: Thymidine kinase was isolated and purified 1600-fold from sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius) oocytes. The molecular mass of the enzyme is 66 kDa, pI is 5.2. The enzyme activity needs Mg2+, ATP and the corresponding phosphate acceptor. The pH optimum of the enzyme activity is at 9.0-9.5. The isolated enzyme does not exhibit any strict substrate specificity and can phosphorylate thymidine, deoxycytidine and some other pyrimidine nucleosides and their derivatives, the phosphorylation rate being maximal for thymidine, ATP or dATP. The TMP formed via the enzymatic reaction does not influence the thymidine kinase activity.
