Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase-3 (NME3) Enhances TLR5-Induced NFκB Activation

The Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase Gene Nme3 Acts as Quantitative Trait Locus Promoting Non-Mendelian Inheritance

The t-haplotype, a variant form of the t-complex region on mouse chromosome 17, acts as selfish genetic element and is transmitted at high frequencies (> 95%) from heterozygous (t/+) males to their offspring. This phenotype is termed transmission ratio distortion (TRD) and is caused by the interaction of the t-complex responder (Tcr) with several quantitative trait loci (QTL), the t-complex dis...

ldentification as a Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase'

A low molecular mas (18 kD) phosphoprotein (pp18) was characterized and purified from cultured sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum 1.) cell line H50-7209. Autophosphorylation assays were used to detect pp18 after separation by sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PACE). Only pp18 was detected by a brief in situ phosphorylation method, whereas additional putative protein ki...

Nucleoside diphosphate kinase from Escherichia coli.

Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase from Escherichia coli was purified to homogeneity and was crystallized. Gel filtration analysis of the purified enzyme indicated that it forms a tetramer. The enzyme was phosphorylated with [gamma-32P]ATP, and the pH stability profile of the phosphoenzyme indicated that two different amino acid residues were phosphorylated. Both a histidine residue and serine...

Flagellin-Induced Proinflammatory Gene Activation Negatively Regulates TLR5-Mediated Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase

Adenylate kinase complements nucleoside diphosphate kinase deficiency in nucleotide metabolism.

Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase is a ubiquitous nonspecific enzyme that evidently is designed to catalyze in vivo ATP-dependent synthesis of ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates from the corresponding diphosphates. Because Escherichia coli contains only one copy of ndk, the structural gene for this enzyme, we were surprised to find that ndk disruption yields bacteria that are still v...
