Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
2.2.1.1 biotechnology improvement of biocatalytic processes using transketolase over prolonged reaction times will need to address the formation of cofactor-associated intermediate state Escherichia coli

Cloned(Commentary)

EC Number Cloned (Comment) Organism
2.2.1.1 His-tagged wild-type transketolase overexpressed from Escherichia coli XL10-Gold, containing plasmid pQR791 Escherichia coli

Inhibitors

EC Number Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
2.2.1.1 Urea denaturation of holo-transketolase by urea displays at least three transitions, where only the final equilibrium denaturation transition is the same for both apo-transketolase and holo-transketolase. Enzyme is deactivated initially by changes in structure associated with the cofactors, but this event does not release the cofactor from the enzyme. Holo-transketolase does not denature to apo-transketolase at 2 M urea. Complete dissociation of cofactors from holo-transketolase at 3.8 M urea without formation of the compact form of apo-transketolase (intermediate form). Holo-transketolase and apo-transketolase at 7.2 M urea both show a common denatured form Escherichia coli

Cofactor

EC Number Cofactor Comment Organism Structure
2.2.1.1 thiamine diphosphate produces a degree of structure similar to that of the fully reconstituted holo-transketolase dimer without urea. Thiamine diphosphate binds to apo-transketolase in the absence of the metal ion, though in a catalytically inactive form Escherichia coli
