We describe two approaches to cloning and over-expressing gene 42 of bacteriophage T4, which encodes the early enzyme deoxycytidylate hydroxymethylase. In Bochum a library of sonicated fragments of wild-type phage DNA cloned into M13mp18 was screened with clones known to contain parts of gene 42. Two overlapping fragments, each of which contained one end of the gene, were cleaved at a HincII site and joined, to give a fragment containing the entire gene. In Corvallis a 1.8-kb fragment of cytosine-substituted DNA, believed to contain the entire gene, was cloned into pUC18 and shown to express the enzyme at low level. The cloned fragment bore an amber mutation in gene 42. From the DNA sequence of gene 42, the cloned gene was converted to the wild-type allele by site-directed mutagenesis. Both gene-42-containing fragments were cloned into the pT7 expression system and found to be substantially overexpressed. dCMP hydroxymethylase purified from one of the over-expressing strains had a turnover number similar to that of the enzyme isolated earlier from infected cells. In addition, the N-terminal 20 amino acid residues matched precisely the sequence predicted from the gene sequence. The amino acid sequence of gp42 bears considerable homology with that of thymidylate synthase of either host or T4 origin. The gene 42 nucleotide sequences of bacteriophages T2 and T6 were determined and found to code for amino acid sequences nearly identical to that of T4 gp42. << Less

Bacteriophage T4 deoxycytidylate hydroxymethylase (EC 2.1.2.8), a homodimer of 246-residue subunits, catalyzes hydroxymethylation of the cytosine base in deoxycytidylate (dCMP) to produce 5-hydroxymethyl-dCMP. It forms part of a phage DNA protection system and appears to function in vivo as a component of a multienzyme complex called deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) synthetase. We have determined its crystal structure in the presence of the substrate dCMP at 1.6 A resolution. The structure reveals a subunit fold and a dimerization pattern in common with thymidylate synthases, despite low (approximately 20%) sequence identity. Among the residues that form the dCMP binding site, those interacting with the sugar and phosphate are arranged in a configuration similar to the deoxyuridylate binding site of thymidylate synthases. However, the residues interacting directly or indirectly with the cytosine base show a more divergent structure and the presumed folate cofactor binding site is more open. Our structure reveals a water molecule properly positioned near C-6 of cytosine to add to the C-7 methylene intermediate during the last step of hydroxymethylation. On the basis of sequence comparison and crystal packing analysis, a hypothetical model for the interaction between T4 deoxycytidylate hydroxymethylase and T4 thymidylate synthase in the dNTP-synthesizing complex has been built. << Less
