FunFam 55: Hydroxyethylthiazole kinase

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Hydroxyethylthiazole kinase. [EC: 2.7.1.50]
ATP + 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole = ADP + 4-methyl-5- (2-phosphonooxyethyl)thiazole.

    Thiamine phosphate synthase. [EC: 2.5.1.3]
    (1) 4-amino-2-methyl-5-diphosphomethylpyrimidine + 2-((2R,5Z)-2-carboxy- 4-methylthiazol-5(2H)-ylidene)ethyl phosphate = diphosphate + thiamine phosphate + CO(2). (2) 4-amino-2-methyl-5-diphosphomethylpyrimidine + 2-(2-carboxy-4- methylthiazol-5-yl)ethyl phosphate = diphosphate + thiamine phosphate + CO(2). (3) 4-amino-2-methyl-5-diphosphomethylpyrimidine + 4-methyl-5- (2-phosphono-oxyethyl)thiazole = diphosphate + thiamine phosphate.
    • The enzyme catalyzes the penultimate reaction in thiamine de novo biosynthesis, condensing the pyrimidine and thiazole components.
    • The enzyme is thought to accept the product of EC 2.8.1.10 as its substrate.
    • However, it has been shown that in some bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, an additional enzyme, EC 5.3.99.10 converts that compound into its tautomer 2-(2-carboxy-4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethyl phosphate, and that it is the latter that serves as the substrate for the synthase.
    • In addition to this activity, the enzyme participates in a salvage pathway, acting on 4-methyl-5-(2-phosphono-oxyethyl)thiazole, which is produced from thiamine degradation products.
    • In yeast this activity is found in a bifunctional enzyme and in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana the activity is part of a trifunctional enzyme.
