The SOC8 gene was isolated as an extragenic suppressor of cdc8 mutant cells. It has been suggested that SOC8 is allelic with the URA6 gene which was originally identified as a uridine monophosphate kinase. In this article, we describe the purification of the uridine monophosphate kinase from a yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae strain that overproduces the activity 8-fold. The protein was purified through Fast-Flow Q-Separose, phosphocellulose, blue-agarose, and fast protein liquid chromatography Superose 12 columns, and appears homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis. The uridine monophosphate kinase contains a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 25,000, as evidence by both sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration analysis. The amino acid composition has also been determined. Substrate specificity studies show that the relative activity of nucleoside monophosphates is in order of UMP greater than dUMP, and to a lesser extent, dTMP, GMP, and dGMP. The Km and Vm of UMP, dUMP, and dTMP have been determined.
