3D Structures of thiaminase
Updated on 25-November-2020
FunctionThiaminase (Thi) or thiamine pyridinylase cleaves vitamin B1. Thiaminase I catalyzes the elimination of the thiazole ring moiety from the thiamin through substitution of the methylene group with a nitrogenous base or sulfhydryl compound[1]. Thiaminase II catalyzes the hydrolysis of thiamin [2]. Structural highlightsThe active site of thiaminase II contains a pyrimidine derivative. Three residues participate in the substrate binding and the pyrimidine ring is sandwiched between two tyrosine residues[3].
