The full-length cDNA ORF of Bacillus anthracis Thymidylate kinase (tmk) was N-terminally tagged a 6xHis and then expressed in E.coli. The Recombinant Bacillus anthracis tmk obtained was purified using SDS-PAGE analysis and got over 90% of purity. Under reducing conditions, the tmk protein migrated to an approximately 28 kDa molecular mass band on the SDS-PAGE gel. This recombinant tmk protein may be used to produce specific antibodies or find uses in the DNA synthesis-related studies.
Tmk is a key enzyme exerting an important role in DNA synthesis. It catalyzes the conversion of thymidine monophosphate (dTMP) to thymidine diphosphate (dTDP), with ATP as the preferred phosphoryl donor and in the presence of Mg2+. It takes place at the junction of the de novo and salvage pathways for thymidine triphosphate (dTTP) synthesis. Tmk is thus regarded as a potential therapeutic target for the development of antibacterial, antiparasitic, and anticancer drugs.
