Decarboxylation of pyruvate by thiamine analogues.
Sources of Compounds Tested-Thiamine hydrochloride (Merck, U.S.P. grade), 0-acetylthiamine hydrochloride and oxythiamine dihydrochloride (California Foundation for Biochemical Research), pyrithiamine hydrobromide and 4-amino-5 aminomethyl-a-methyl pyrimidine dihydrochloride (Nutritional Biochemicals Corporation) were all used without further purification. For determination of pK, values, the 4-...
متن کاملInhibition of pyruvate decarboxylase from Z. mobilis by novel analogues of thiamine pyrophosphate: investigating pyrophosphate mimics.
Replacement of the thiazolium ring of thiamine pyrophosphate with a triazole gives extremely potent inhibitors of pyruvate decarboxylase from Z. mobilis, with K(I) values down to 20 pM; this system was used to explore pyrophosphate mimics and several effective analogues were discovered.
متن کاملDecarboxylation of Pyruvate to Acetaldehyde for Ethanol Production by Hyperthermophiles
Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC encoded by pdc) is a thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-containing enzyme responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde in many mesophilic organisms. However, no pdc/PDC homolog has yet been found in fully sequenced genomes and proteomes of hyper/thermophiles. The only PDC activity reported in hyperthermophiles was a bifunctional, TPP- and CoA-dependent pyruva...
متن کاملPYRUVATE AND a-KETOGLUTARATE METABOLISM IN THIAMINE DEFICIENCY*
One obvious explanation for the effect of high fat diets in lowering the requirement for thiamine has been that fat metabolism does not require thiamine, while carbohydrate metabolism does. This explanation finds considerable support in one of the known functions of thiamine pyrophosphate. According to current theory, carbohydrate is oxidized to pyruvate, and pyruvate must be decarboxylated for...
متن کاملInhibition of Thiamine Pyrophosphate Utilization by Thiamine
The growth of a thiamine pyrophosphate auxotroph of Escherichi coli was inhibited by either thiamine or thiamine monophosphate, and the growth of a thiamine monophosphate auxotroph was inhibited by thiamine. The thiamine pyrophosphate-dependent oxidation of pyruvate was inhibited by thiamine with whole cells of the thiamine pyrophosphate auxotroph but not with cell extracts prepared from the sa...
