Abstract
We report substantial improvements to the previously introduced automated NOE assignment and structure determination protocol known as PASD (Kuszewski et al. (2004) J Am Chem Soc 26:6258-6273). The improved protocol includes extensive analysis of input spectral data to create a low-resolution contac...

Abstract
We have investigated the kinetic properties of recombinant mouse thiamine triphosphatase (mThTPase) and determined its solution structure by NMR spectroscopy. Residues responsible for binding Mg(2+) and ThTP were determined from NMR titration experiments. The binding of Mg(2+) induced only a minor l...

Abstract
We have recently cloned the cDNA coding for a highly specific mammalian 25-kDa thiamine triphosphatase. The enzyme was active in all mammalian species studied except pig, although the corresponding mRNA was present. In order to determine whether the very low ThTPase activity in pig tissues is due to...

Abstract
Thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) is found in most organisms, but its biological role remains unclear. In mammalian tissues, cellular ThTP concentrations remain low, probably because of hydrolysis by a specific 25 kDa thiamine triphosphatase (ThTPase). The aim of the present study was to use quantitative...

Abstract
We have recently cloned the cDNA coding for a highly specific mammalian 25 kDa thiamine triphosphatase (ThTPase; EC 3.6.1.28). As the enzyme has a high catalytic efficiency and no sequence homology with known phosphohydrolases, it was worth investigating its structure and catalytic properties. For t...

Abstract
We have recently characterized a highly specific 25-kDa thiamine triphosphatase (ThTPase) that is expressed in most mammalian tissues. The role of this enzyme may be the control of intracellular concentrations of ThTP. As the latter has been considered to be a neuroactive form of thiamine, we have s...

Abstract
We show that ThTP exists not only in vertebrates but is present in bacteria, fungi, plants and invertebrates. Unexpectedly, we found that in Escherichia coli as well as in Arabidopsis thaliana, ThTP was synthesized only under particular circumstances such as hypoxia (E. coli) or withering (A. thalia...

Abstract
The distribution of thiamine-binding and thiamine triphosphatase activity typical of thiamine-binding proteins was studied in intracellular structures of rats liver and kidneys. It was found that the fraction of microsomes has the highest rate of specific thiamine-binding activity amide fractions of...

Abstract
We purified a soluble thiamine triphosphatase (ThTPase; EC ) from calf brain. The bovine ThTPase is a 24-kDa monomer, hydrolyzing ThTP with virtually absolute specificity. Partial sequence data obtained from the purified bovine enzyme by tandem mass spectrometry were used to search the GenBank data...

Abstract
Properties of soluble thiamine triphosphatase (ThTPase), adenosine triphosphatase, nucleoside triphosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities in bovine kidney were compared. ThTPase and the other phosphatases differed clearly in their pH-dependences, K(m) and molecular masses. Apparent K(m) and p...

Abstract
The analysis of the steady-state kinetics of the thiamine triphosphate ester hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by homogeneous thiamine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.28; thiamine triphosphate phosphohydrolase) from bovine brain enables us to suggest, that the ThTP binding to the catalytic site of the ThTPase...

Abstract
The steady-state kinetics of the ThTP hydrolysis by thiamine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.28) from bovine brain testified to the presence of two kinetically significant conformational states of the protein, their equilibrium being determined by the substrate concentration. The ThTPase isomeric forms had...

Abstract
We measured directly levels of free (nonphosphorylated) thiamine and its phosphate esters, thiamine monophosphate and thiamine diphosphate (TDP), and activities of three TDP-metabolizing enzymes (thiamine pyrophosphokinase, thiamine diphosphatase, and thiamine triphosphatase) in autopsied cerebral c...

Abstract
Total thiamine (the sum of thiamine and its phosphate esters) concentrations are two- to fourfold lower in human brain than in the brain of other mammals. There were no differences in the total thiamine content between biopsied and autopsied human brain, except that in the latter, thiamine triphosph...

Abstract
Our results show that a net synthesis of thiamine triphosphate (TTP) can be demonstrated in vitro using rat brain extracts. The total homogenate was preincubated with thiamine or its diphosphate derivative (TDP), centrifuged, and washed twice. With TDP (1 mM) as substrate, a 10-fold increase in TTP...

Abstract
The membrane-associated, anion-regulated thiamine triphosphatase from Electrophorus electricus electric organ can be solubilized by various neutral detergents. Polyoxyethylene ethers are the most effective. Anionic detergents readily inactivate the enzyme. A 6.4-fold increase in specific activity is...

Abstract
1. The activities of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, transketolase, thiamine pyrophosphokinase and thiamine triphosphatase and the concentrations of thiamine phosphates were almost the same between rat extensor digitorum longus and soleus muscles at 2 weeks of age. 2. These enzyme activities changed a...

Abstract
1. Thiamine triphosphatase activity in particulate fraction, but not in soluble, of rat skeletal muscle was stimulated by several anions. 2. The stimulative effect of anions was dependent on pH of reaction medium and was reversible. 3. The activities of ATPase in rat muscle particulate preparation a...

Abstract
Thiamine triphosphatase (TTPase) from membranes isolated from the main electric organ of E. electricus is activated about 8 fold by NO3-, I- and SCN- while SO42- is inhibitory. Activating anions shift the pH optimum of the enzyme from 5.0 to 8.0. The enzyme is irreversibly inactivated by low concent...

Abstract
The main electric organ of Electrophorus electricus is particularly rich in thiamine triphosphate, which represents 87% of the total thiamine content in this tissue. The thiamine pyrophosphate concentration, however, is very low in the eel electric organ and skeletal muscle as compared with other ee...

Abstract
Thiamin triphosphate (ThTP) in early stationary phase cells of Escherichia coli grown in nutrient broth with 0.1% yeast extract was found to constitute approximately 5-7% of cellular thiamin diphosphate (ThDP) or around 5 nmol/g cell. Nearly the same level of ThTP was obtained in a Bacillus strain....

It was found to be a single polypeptide of 16 kDa requiring no Mg2+, with an optimal pH at 6.5. The substrate specificity was broad and a nonspecific Mg2+-ind...
