Protein Family Models

Thiamine monophosphate synthase (TMP) (EC:2.5.1.3) catalyses the substitution of the pyrophosphate of 2-methyl-4-amino-5- hydroxymethylpyrimidine pyrophosphate by 4-methyl-5- (beta-hydroxyethyl)thiazole phosphate to yield thiamine phosphate [1]. This Pfam family also includes the regulatory protein TENI (Swiss:P25053), a protein from Bacillus subtilis that regulates the production of several extracellular enzymes by reducing alkaline protease production [2]. While TenI shows high sequence similarity with thiamin phosphate synthase, the purified protein has no thiamin phosphate synthase activity. Instead, it is a thiazole tautomerase [3]. [1]. 9139923.

This model represents the thiamine-phosphate pyrophosphorylase, ThiE, of a number of bacteria, and N-terminal domains of bifunctional thiamine proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in which the C-terminal domain corresponds to the bacterial hydroxyethylthiazole kinase (EC 2.7.1.50), ThiM. This model includes ThiE from Bacillus subtilis but excludes its paralog, the regulatory protein TenI (SP:P25053), and neighbors of TenI.
