Construction of a thiamin sensor from the periplasmic thiamin binding protein.

چکیده
This communication describes the development of a thiamin sensor based on the bacterial thiamin binding protein. A triple mutant (C48S, C50S, S62C) of TbpA was labeled on C62 with N-[2-(L-maleimidyl)ethyl]-7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxamide (MDCC). Thiamin binding to this protein reduced the coumarin fluorescence giving a thiamin sensor with low nanomolar sensitivity.

Accumulation and degradation of thiamin-binding protein and level of thiamin in wheat seeds during seed maturation and germination.
Changes in the levels of thiamin-binding globulin and thiamin in wheat seeds during maturation and germination were studied. The thiamin-binding activity of the seed proteins increased with seed development after flowering. The thiamin content of the seeds also increased with development. Thiamin-binding activity decreased during seed germination. On the other hand, immunological analysis using...
متن کاملThiamin-binding protein from sunflower seeds.
A thiamin-binding protein was isolated from sunflower seeds. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 230 kDa by gel filtration. The protein was suggested to be composed of six subunits, which consisted of polypeptides linked by disulfide bond(s). The protein contained a large amount of glutamine or glutamic acid (19.9 mol%) and asparagine or aspartic acid (11.1 mol%). The levels of tryptophan an...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of the non-coenzyme action of thiamin in brain: biochemical, structural and pathway analysis
Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a pharmacological agent boosting central metabolism through the action of the coenzyme thiamin diphosphate (ThDP). However, positive effects, including improved cognition, of high thiamin doses in neurodegeneration may be observed without increased ThDP or ThDP-dependent enzymes in brain. Here, we determine protein partners and metabolic pathways where thiamin acts beyon...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of ThiT from Lactococcus lactis: a thiamin transporter with picomolar substrate binding affinity.
The putative thiamin transporter ThiT from Lactococcus lactis was overproduced in the membrane of lactococcal cells. In vivo transport assays using radiolabeled thiamin demonstrated that ThiT indeed was involved in thiamin transport. The protein was solubilized from the membranes and purified in detergent solution. Size exclusion chromatography coupled to static light scattering, refractive ind...

Background and Aim: Renal replacement therapies are usually associated with changes in trace elements and metabolism of vitamins. Multivitamins are administered routinely to dialysis patients in dialysis centers. Thiamin plasma level is a good indicator of nutritional state of the patient. In this study, a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography HPLC method for determination of the...
