malfunction | a thiK deletion strain (DELTAthiK) reveals decreased thiamine sensitivity, since this enzyme is required for the phosphorylation of thiamine to thiamine diphosphate. Deleting the thiamine kinase ThiK abolishes thiamine and triazolethiamine-dependent inhibition of reporter gene expression. The reporter gene expression in the thiK deletion strain is dramatically decreased in the presence of pyrithiamine | Escherichia coli |
metabolism | thiamine is synthesized from two precursors, hydroxymethylpyrimidine diphosphate and hydroxyethylthiazole phosphate, which are produced independently and finally joined to form thiamine phosphate | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | riboswitches are conserved regions within mRNA molecules that bind specific metabolites and regulate gene expression. TPP-riboswitches, which respond to thiamine diophosphate, are involved in the regulation of thiamine metabolism. Thiamine analogues containing a central 1,2,3-triazole group induce repression of thiM-riboswitch dependent gene expression in different Escherichiac coli strains. Triazolethiamine shows concentration-dependent reporter gene repression that is dependent on the presence of thiamine kinase ThiK, whereas the effect of pyrithiamine, a known TPP-riboswitch modulator, is ThiK-independent, overview. ThiK dependency is bypassed by triazolethiamine-derivatives that bear phosphate mimicking and metal-ion chelating moieties | Escherichia coli |
