Deoxyribonucleotide Formation (Ribonucleotide Reductase pathway and thymidylate synthesis) Nucleotide Metabolism · Cytosol

step 12 Irreversible/directional

Deoxycytidine or thymidine → dCMP or dTMP (salvage support)

Converts Deoxycytidine Thymidine into dCMP dTMP

› Notes

Cytosolic deoxycytidine kinase phosphorylates deoxycytidine + ATP → dCMP + ADP, while cytosolic thymidine kinase 1 phosphorylates thymidine + ATP → dTMP + ADP in S phase; mitochondrial thymidine kinase 2 supports mitochondrial dTTP supply in nondividing cells. These are salvage reactions, not de novo formation, but they can bypass part of the RNR/thymidylate pathway and materially affect dNTP homeostasis.
