pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide salvage
GO:0010139
This complete five-reaction Escherichia coli implementation converts 2'-deoxycytidine through 2'-deoxyuridine to dUMP, or uses deoxyuridine-derived 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate to salvage thymine through thymidine to dTMP. Cdd deaminates deoxycytidine, the reversible DeoA phosphorolyses supply or consume the sugar phosphate, and Tdk phosphorylates deoxyuridine or thymidine. The selected biochemical boundary matches the five-reaction native EcoCyc pathway; NupC/NupG uptake is incoming context and subsequent nucleotide phosphorylation is outside it. MG1655 is the native protein-annotation scope; primary K-12 mutant studies and E. coli B enzyme studies do not establish constitutive wild-type MG1655 flux. Tdk is represented by its source-defined multimeric assembly without fixing its stoichiometry across conditions. This GO process implementation is not asserted equivalent to the differently composed MetaCyc PWY-7199 pathway.
