Tinelli, Regina (Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo.), A. M. Michelson, and Jack L. Strominger. Epimerization of thymidine diphosphate glucose in bacterial extracts. J. Bacteriol. 86:246-251. 1963.-Extracts of Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis type IV and several other bacteria catalyzed the reversible interconversion of thymidine diphosphate (TDP)-d-glucose and TDP-d-galactose. Moreover, extracts of P. pseudotuberculosis catalyzed the synthesis of TDP-d-glucose from thymidine triphosphate and alpha-d-glucose-1-phosphate. The limitations of these observations and their possible significance are discussed.
