Nucleoside diphosphate kinase is essential to maintain the cellular concentrations of all nucleoside triphosphates and deoxynucleoside triphosphates at functional levels (3). The gene (ndk) for this enzyme from Myxococcus xanthus has been cloned, and its DNA sequence has been determined (8, 9). A genetic experiment indicated that the ndk gene is essential for cell growth of M. xanthus (8, 9). Recently the ndk genes from various eukaryotes (Dictyostelium discoi-deum [7], rat [5], mouse [12], human [12], and Drosophila [2]) have also been cloned and sequenced. These nucleoside diphosphate kinases from different sources show substantial sequence similarities (2). From this consensus sequence, oligonucleotide primers were synthesized. On the basis of the fact that the ndk gene is located near hisS in Salmonella typhimurium (11), phage DNAs from 8E3 (phage 427), 2D5 gua
