Thiamine triphosphatase; thtpa
Thtpase

DESCRIPTION

Thiamine triphosphatase (THTPA) catalyzes the hydrolysis of thiamine triphosphate (THTP) to thiamine diphosphate (THDP), which is the major cellular form of thiamine (vitamin B1) (Lakaye et al., 2002).

CLONING

By database analysis using peptide sequence from purified bovine soluble thiamine triphosphate as probe, followed by RT-PCR of human brain poly(A+) RNA, Lakaye et al. (2002) cloned THTPA. The deduced 230-amino acid protein has a predicted molecular mass of 25.55 kD and contains a high percentage of negatively-charged residues (17.4% glutamic acid and aspartic acid). THTPA shares 80% and 70% sequence identity with the bovine and macaque Thtpa enzymes, respectively. All 3 enzyme homologs contain several potential phosphorylation sites. Dot-blot hybridization of multiple human tissues detected widespread THTPA expression, but only at low levels. The highest hybridization signals were observed in uterus, testis, and prostate, followed by bladder, kidney, lung, and thyroid gland. Lower signals were detected in various brain regions with no detectable signal in cerebellum. Expression was particularly low in the digestive system, fetal tissues, and transformed cell lines.

GENE FUNCTION

Lakaye et al. (2002) determined that both recombinant THTPA and native THTPA enzyme purified from human cerebellar cortex catalyzed the highly specific hydrolysis of thiamine triphosphate to thiamine diphosphate. THTPA displayed an optimal pH of 8.5, similar to that observed in the bovine enzyme, although the human enzyme had a broader pH spectrum. Lakaye et al. (2002) noted that human THTPA displayed remarkable insensitivity to chemical denaturation and proteolysis.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis, Lakaye et al. (2002) mapped the THTPA gene to chromosome 14. ... More on the omim web site
