Popis: Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) is a key enzyme in the salvage of deoxyribonucleosides and in the activation of several anticancer and antiviral nucleoside analogues. We have recently shown that dCK is a phosphoprotein. Four in vivo phosphorylation sites were identified: Thr-3, Ser-11, Ser-15, and Ser-74. Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that phosphorylation of Ser-74, the major phosphorylated residue, strongly influences dCK activity in eucaryotic cells. Here, we show that phosphorylation of the three other sites, located in the N-terminal extremity of the protein, does not significantly modify dCK activity, but phosphorylation of Thr-3 could promote dCK stability.
