Escherichia coli possessing the dihydroxyacetone phosphate shunt utilize 5′-deoxynucleosides for growth
ABSTRACTAll organisms utilize S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) as a key co-substrate for the methylation of biological molecules, the synthesis of polyamines, and radical SAM reactions. When these processes occur, 5′-deoxy-nucleosides are formed as byproducts such as S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine, 5′-methy...
