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}.
