Nucleotide sequence of the thymidylate synthetase gene (thyP3) from the Bacillus subtilis phage phi 3T.
The thyP3 gene, encoding thymidylate synthetase, from the Bacillus subtilis phage phi 3T has been cloned and the nucleotide sequence determined. The derived amino acid sequence indicates a subunit Mr of 32 748. The primary amino acid sequence is compared with the sequences of the analogous proteins specified by Escherichia coli (thyA), Lactobacillus casei, (thyA) and phage T4 (td). Extensive conservation exists in all four sequences implying a shared tertiary structure.
