Adenosine Kinase Deficiency Is Associated with Developmental Abnormalities and Reduced Transmethylation
Abstract
Adenosine (Ado) kinase (ADK; ATP:Ado 5' phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.20) catalyzes the salvage synthesis of adenine monophosphate from Ado and ATP. In Arabidopsis, ADK is encoded by two cDNAs that share 89% nucleotide identity and are constitutively, yet differentially, expressed in leaves, stems, roots, and flowers. To investigate the role of ADK in plant metabolism, lines deficient in this enzyme activity have been created by sense and …
