dc.description.abstract |
N.crassa is known to utilize a unique salvage pathway for the production of uracil.
This is known as the pyrimidine salvage pathway. This pathway consists of four
enzymatic steps to convert thymidine to uracil. The final enzyme is isoorotate
decarboxylase (IDCase), which forms uracil from isoorotate through a
decarboxylation reaction. An in vitro assay for IDCase activity has been
developed, which allowed the determination of specific activity of the enzyme in
various strains of Neurospora. In addition attempts at isolating the gene as well
as measuring the kinetic properties will be performed. |
