Biosynthesis of thiamine pyrophosphate in Escherichia coli.

چکیده
In Escherichia coli, thiamine pyrophosphate is synthesized from thiamine monophosphate. Free thiamine is not involved as an intermediate in de novo synthesis of thiamine pyrophosphate.

Pathway of thiamine pyrophosphate synthesis in Micrococcus denitrificans.
The pathway of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) biosynthesis, which is formed either from exogeneously added thiamine or from the pyrimidine and thiazole moieties of thiamine, in Micrococcus denitrificans was investigated. The following indirect evidence shows that thiamine pyrophosphokinase (EC 2.7.6.2) catalyzes the synthesis of TPP from thiamine: (i) [35S]thiamine incubated with cells of this mi...
متن کاملAn Unexpected Route to an Essential Cofactor: Escherichia coli Relies on Threonine for Thiamine Biosynthesis
UNLABELLED Metabolism consists of biochemical reactions that are combined to generate a robust metabolic network that can respond to perturbations and also adapt to changing environmental conditions. Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica are closely related enterobacteria that share metabolic components, pathway structures, and regulatory strategies. The synthesis of thiamine in S. enterica ...
متن کاملBiosynthetic pathway of thiamine pyrophosphate: a special reference to the thiamine monophosphate-requiring mutant and the thiamine pyrophosphate-requiring mutant of Escherichia coli.
Two types of mutants of Escherichia coli were isolated, one of which (mutant 70-23-107) responded to thiamine pyrophosphate, and the other (mutant 70-23-102) to thiamine monophosphate and thiamine pyrophosphate. They were produced by further mutation of a thiamine auxotroph of E. coli 70-23 with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The parent organism required thiamine because phosphohydroxyme...
متن کاملRole of vitamin B 6 biosynthetic rate in the study of vitamin B 6 synthesis in Escherichia coli.
Nutritional auxotrophs of Escherichia coli synthesize vitamin B(6) compounds at a rate of 1 x 10(-10) to 2 x 10(-10) moles per hr per mg (dry weight) of cells when they are suspended in minimal medium lacking their required nutrients. A few auxotrophs have been found to stop or reduce vitamin B(6) synthesis during such an experiment. These include thiamineless, citrate synthaseless, and pyridox...
متن کاملGlyoxylate Carboligase of Escherichia coli
An acidimetric method is proposed to distinguish between carbon dioxide and carbonic acid as the primary product of enzymic decarboxylation reactions. Application of this method to the thiamine pyrophosphate-requiring Escherichia coli glyoxylate carboligase reaction (the decarboxylating condensation of glyoxylate to yield hydroxymalonic semialdehyde) at pH 8 shows a transient disappearance of p...
