Two secretory glycoproteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a soluble thiamin-binding protein and a thiamin-repressible acid phosphatase, were shown to be repressed to a similar extent by excess thiamin in the growth medium. Thiamin-repressible acid phosphatase was co-purified throughout the purification of the soluble thiamin-binding protein. Purified and deglycosylated soluble thiamin-binding proteins exhibited both thiamin-binding and acid phosphatase activity on non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Heat treatment of the purified soluble thiamin-binding protein caused a decrease in both activities with a similar inactivation profile. Furthermore, two thiamin-repressible acid phosphatase-defective mutants isolated had no and decreased soluble thiamin-binding activity, respectively. From the results, it was concluded that the soluble thiamin-binding protein is identical to the thiamin-repressible acid phosphatase in S. cerevisiae.
