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.

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.
