Abstract:The ability of thioredoxin (Trx) to protect cells from chemical damage was determined by comparing the growth of a control strain of Escherichia coli JM101 and isogenic strain transformed with the plasmid pKKTS1 containing the Streptomyces aureofacien thioredoxin gene, in the presence of the nucleoside analogs arabinosylcytosine, 5‐fluorouridine, ftorafur and carcinogen β‐naftylamine. Arabinosylcytosine showed no effect on the growth of either of the two strains. 5‐fluorouridine, ftorafur [1‐((R,S)‐tetrahydrof… Show more
