General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP) to deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP), using ATP as its preferred phosphoryl donor. Situated at the junction of both de novo and salvage pathways of deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) synthesis, is essential for DNA synthesis and cellular growth. Has a broad specificity for nucleoside triphosphates, being highly active with ATP or dATP as phosphate donors, and less active with ITP, GTP, CTP and UTP. HAMAP MF_00165

Catalytic activity

ATP + dTMP = ADP + dTDP. HAMAP MF_00165

Cofactor

Binds 1 magnesium ion per subunit. This ion is required for catalysis, binding to the active site transiently (at the TMP-binding site), and probably acting as a clamp between the phosphoryl donor and acceptor.

Enzyme regulation

Competitively inhibited at the phosphate acceptor site by 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine monophosphate (AZT-MP) (in contrast to other TMPKs such as E.coli, in which it is a good substrate). Inhibition seems to result from the impossibility of magnesium binding. HAMAP MF_00165

Pathway

Pyrimidine metabolism; dTTP biosynthesis. HAMAP MF_00165

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Ref.3

Domain

The LID domain is a solvent-exposed domain that closes over the site of phosphoryl transfer upon ATP binding. HAMAP MF_00165

Miscellaneous

Was identified as a high-confidence drug target. HAMAP MF_00165

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the thymidylate kinase family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=0.1 mM for ATP (at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees Celsius) Ref.3

KM=4.5 µM for dTMP (at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees Celsius)

KM=0.14 mM for dehydro-TMP (at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees Celsius)

KM=2.10 mM for dUMP (at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees Celsius)

Vmax=13 µmol/min/mg enzyme with ATP and dTMP as substrates (at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees Celsius)

Vmax=0.16 µmol/min/mg enzyme with ATP and dehydro-TMP as substrates (at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees Celsius)

Vmax=3.50 µmol/min/mg enzyme with ATP and dUMP as substrates (at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees Celsius)

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 7.5-8.5. Inactive below pH 4.6.

Temperature dependence:

Highly thermostable. Is half-inactivated at 65 degrees Celsius.

Mass spectrometry

Molecular mass is 22635.89±2.23 Da from positions 1 - 214. Determined by ESI. Ref.3
