Abstract excerpt
Thiamin-phosphate pyrophosphorylase (TMP-PPase; EC 2.5.1.3) involved in de novo synthesis of thiamin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a bifunctional enzyme with 4-methyl-5-beta-hydroxyethylthiazole kinase (Th-kinase; EC 2.7.1.50) activity, which is an octamer of identical 60-kDa subunits (Kawasaki, Y. (1993) J. Bacteriol. 175, 5153-5158). Previous study demonstrated that the activities of both TMP-PPase and...
