The 621 bp udk gene encoding Borrelia burgdorferi potential uridine kinase, involved in the pyrimidine salvage pathway, was cloned and sequenced. The B burgdorferi protein has a molecular mass of 24 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. The N-terminal sequence of the protein, Ala-Lys-Ile-Ile, is identical to that predicted but lacks N-terminal methionine. udk is located at around 15 kb from the left telomere and forms an operon with an upstream ORF. A likely hypothesis for the role of the pyrimidine salvage pathway is the sole use of endogenous nucleotides for Borrelia.
