Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
oxythiamine inhibitor of human enzyme, is not inhibitory up to 0.03 mM. Instead, oxythiamine, at this concentration, increases the rate of the reaction by 30% under the assay conditions tested Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
to 2.5 A resolution. Final model includes 410 water molecules, four thiamine diphosphate molecules, 4 Mg2+ ions and eight glycerol molecules. The enzyme forms a homodimer, where the two monomeric units are related by a non-crystallographic twofold axis. There are two dimers per asymmetric unit that are related to each other by a twofold axis to create a noncrystallographic screw axis parallel to the crystallographic Z-axis Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
additional information oxythiamine, inhibitor of human enzyme, is not inhibitory up to 0.03 mM. Instead, oxythiamine, at this concentration, increases the rate of the reaction by 30% under the assay conditions tested. 5-benzyl-3-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one also has no inhibitory effect Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Cofactor

Cofactor Comment Organism Structure
thiamine diphosphate an active site cleft is formed between the two monomeric units allowing the cofactors thiamine diphosphate and Mg2+ to bind, such that the N-terminal domain I of chain A binds the diphosphate moiety of thiamine diphosphate, and domain II of chain B interacts with the aminopyrimidine ring. The diphosphate moiety of thiamine diphosphate is anchored in place through a number of hydrogen bonds formed with residues Thr48, His85, Ser176, Asp177, Gly178, Asn207, Ile209 and His283 from one monomer, crystallization data Mycobacterium tuberculosis
