[Phosphorylation of some thiamine analogs by yeast thiamine pyrophosphokinase]. 1976

A I Voskoboev, and I P Chernikevich, and Iu M Ostrovskii

A rapid efficient method of separation of the thiamine pyrophosphokinase reaction products (ATP: thiamine pyrophosphotransferase) on the column packed with DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and their subsequent identification by direct spectrophotometry is suggested. Phosphorylation of some thiamine analogs substituted at the second position of the pyrimidine ring was studied. It was shown that in addition to thiamine, the enzyme transfers the pyrophosphate group to some of its derivatives. The vitamin analogs devoid of quaternary nitrogen in the thiazole cycle, do not form pyrophosphate ethers (thus being unable to act as substrates), whereas 2'-phenoxythiamine, 2'-methoxythiamine and especially 2'-phenylthiamine are phosphorylated at a greater rate than does the "true" substrate, thiamine, under similar conditions.
