Non-host class II ribonucleotide reductase in Thermus viruses: sequence adaptation and host interaction

Non-host class II ribonucleotide reductase in Thermus viruses: sequence adaptation and host interaction

Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) are essential enzymes for all known life forms. Their current taxonomic distribution suggests extensive horizontal gene transfer e.g., by processes involving viruses. To improve our understanding of the underlying processes, we characterized a monomeric class II RNR (...
