TPK1 also known as thiamin pyrophosphokinase 1 is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of thiamine (vitamin B1) to thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). The enzyme facilitates the transfer of pyrophosphate from ATP to thiamine which is the active form needed for cellular metabolism. TPK1 has a molecular mass of approximately 24 kDa. This enzyme is expressed in various tissues including liver kidney and brain reflecting its significant metabolic role.
Biological function summary

TPK1 plays an important role in energy metabolism. Thiamine pyrophosphate the product of TPK1 activity serves as an essential cofactor in several enzyme complexes including pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. These complexes are involved in key metabolic pathways such as glycolysis and the citric acid cycle enabling the cell to produce energy efficiently. Therefore TPK1 activity supports energy production and cellular respiration.

Pathways

TPK1 significantly impacts carbohydrate metabolism and the Krebs cycle. It is involved in the thiamine metabolism pathway which is central to processing carbohydrates and generating energy. Proteins like pyruvate dehydrogenase and transketolase work in conjunction with TPK1 by using the TPP produced. These interactions highlight TPK1's role in linking thiamine conversion and energy-related pathways.

TPK1 mutations can lead to thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome type 5 (THMD5) and contribute to Leigh syndrome a severe neurological disorder. TPK1 dysfunction impacts brain metabolism due to its high energy demands. The disorder shares a connection with pyruvate dehydrogenase as both proteins require TPP as a cofactor. Mutations that affect TPK1 can impair these pathways leading to neurological and metabolic complications.

General info

Function

Catalyzes the phosphorylation of thiamine to thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) utilizing UTP and therefore links the biosynthesis of TPP to pyrimidines metabolism (PubMed : 38547260). By producing thiamine pyrophosphate, a cofactor of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase indirectly regulates pyruvate oxidation and lipogenesis (PubMed : 38547260). Although it can also catalyze thiamine phosphorylation using ATP and CTP in vitro, it does so with significantly lower efficiency and without physiological relevance evidence (PubMed : 11342111, PubMed : 38547260).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the thiamine pyrophosphokinase family.
