| UniProt functional annotation for O67883 | |||
| UniProt code: O67883. |
| Organism: | Aquifex aeolicus (strain VF5). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Aquificae; Aquificales; Aquificaceae; Aquifex. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of thiamine- monophosphate (TMP) to form thiamine-pyrophosphate (TPP), the active form of vitamin B1. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_02128, ECO:0000305|PubMed:18311927}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=ATP + thiamine phosphate = ADP + thiamine diphosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15913, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:37575, ChEBI:CHEBI:58937, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.4.16; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_02128}; | |
| Pathway: | Cofactor biosynthesis; thiamine diphosphate biosynthesis; thiamine diphosphate from thiamine phosphate: step 1/1. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_02128}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18311927}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Reaction mechanism of ThiL seems to utilize a direct, inline transfer of the gamma-phosphate of ATP to TMP rather than a phosphorylated enzyme intermediate. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:18311927}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the thiamine-monophosphate kinase family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_02128}. | |
