All it may take in a vulnerable individual is a few weeks of morning sickness [201] or chronic diarrhea [202]. Transketolase is a thiamine-dependent enzyme and the catalytic mechanism invokes a series of proton transfer steps (Scheme 72). Thiamin monophosphate is formed in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli by coupling 4-methyl-5-(β-hydroxyethyl)thiazole monophosphate and 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine pyrophosphate. In the liver of growing rats with thiamin deficiency induced by diet or by oxythiamin, thiamin diphosphate and the activity of transketolase decreased significantly. Slight yellowish discoloration of the affected cortical tissue may be present. Excessive accumulation of oxidative stress is harmful to cancer cells. Use of wild-type E. coli TK and a β-alanine:pyruvate transaminase to prepare (2S,3R)-2-amino-1,3,4-butanetriol, or E. coli TK D469E/T and CV2025 ω-transaminase to prepare (2S,3S)-2-aminopentane-1,3-diol. The active site is a funnel-shaped cleft with the thiamine cofactor located at the cleft base. Transketolase activity provides an important link between the metabolic pathways of glycolysis and pentose phosphate shunt and catalyzes inter‐conversions between pentose phosphates and glycolytic intermediates. In general, compounds with an αhydroxy group in the d-configuration are good substrates; however, αunsubstituted and αketo- aldehydes are also accepted. Transketolase activity is decreased in deficiency of thiamine, which in general is due to malnutrition. In the yeast enzyme, His110 aids in binding substrates, while in the human enzyme the same residue functions as a general base and abstracts a proton from protonated 4′-iminopyrimidine. FIGURE 4.31. As they point out, a timeconsuming step would be eliminated, making for more convenient handling of samples received after normal working hours. transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1.) The range of transketolase concentration in the activity assay is 0.036–0.144 U/ml for the first method and 1.8–6.8 U/ml for the second one. Domenic A. Sica, in Side Effects of Drugs Annual, 2005. Evidence for the vital importance of this reaction comes from the fact that at least three distinct genes encode enzyme with transketolase activity. The manifestations of thiamine deficiency in the nervous system include the Wernicke and Korsakoff syndromes (WKS; OMIM 277730), which may occur jointly or individually. The untroubled number of heel-to-toe steps is normally at least seven with open eyes and at least three with closed eyes. The cofactor thiazolium ring is located between domains and interacts hydrophobically with the protein. Red blood cell transketolase activity and the effect of thiamine supplementation in patients with chronic liver disease Scand J Gastroenterol. Wernicke encephalopathy is much more common than is generally known. Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay protocol for the assessment of thiamine status Kerry S.Jones, 1Damon A.Parkington, Lorna J.Cox,1,2 and Albert Koulman1 ... amine is affected by recent dietary intake and is, therefore,notsuitableasabiomarkeroflong-term thiamine status. All it may take in a vulnerable individual is a few weeks of morning sickness [201] or chronic diarrhea [202]. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Very often, the deficiency symptoms are precipitated by high alcohol consumption, but this is not a necessary condition. Use of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae TK to prepare d-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate. TABLE II-3. Erythrocyte, MULTIFOCAL NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE AND ITS MANAGEMENT, Kenneth W. Lindsay PhD FRCS, ... Geraint Fuller MD FRCP, in, Neurology and Neurosurgery Illustrated (Fifth Edition). TKT was the ma-jority of transketolase not only in human normal organs but also in most tumor tissues while TKTL1 and TKTL2 are mainly expressed in testis [23, 24]. The second stage is related to conformational changes of the protein. 19. The active site is a funnel-shaped cleft with the thiamine cofactor located at the cleft base. Darla P. Henderson, Eric J. Toone, in Comprehensive Natural Products Chemistry, 1999. The pentose phosphate shunt serves two major roles: to generate pentose sugars for nucleic acid and amino acid biosynthesis and to recover carbon that enters the pentose phosphate shunt via the oxidative route. People with chronic alcohol abuse often have marginal thiamine intakes due to severe nutritional neglect. Wernicke syndrome is characterized by the rapidly manifesting triad of defects in body coordination (ataxia), eye movement (ophthalmoplegia and vertical nystagmus), and mental function (confusion), sometimes also with hearing loss and other neurological pathologies. Furosemide has been associated with thiamine deficiency in patients with heart failure. Erythrocytes can be used to assess both thiamin and riboflavin deficiency. A healthy person is usually able to stand on one leg for more than 22 seconds with open eyes and for more than eight seconds with closed eyes. A 27-year-old pregnant (week 12) woman in Italy is admitted to the obstetrics department after 2 weeks of persistent nausea, vomiting, and loss of 5 kg body weight [201]. Its co-factor is thiamine pyrophosphate. A significant heritable vulnerability for thiamine deficiency and symptomatic disease has been suggested for a long time, particularly with an eye toward transketolase. It is widely conserved in life forms. Broadly, transketolase catalyzes cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in keto sugars, transferring the glycolic aldehyde to aldose sugar acceptors. Authors J E Rossouw, D Labadarios, N Krasner, M Davis, R Williams. Decrease of the DTP total amount in blood by more than 80% did not affect distinctly the transketolase activity. 19. Confusion becomes apparent, with an impaired ability to correctly answer standard orientation questions (What is the year/season/date/day/month?). Thiamin diphosphate is used to facilitate oxidative decarboxylation and transketolase reactions. Additional transporters help with absorption and renal recovery. 24 Magnetic resonance imaging shows abnormalities in the posterior thalamus (hyperintense symmetric areas next to the posterior horn of the lateral ventricles). Scheme 5. The Fregly–Graybiel walk-a-line test [212] explores abnormalities of the cerebellum. B. Pyridoxine deficiency. These include from earlier work a route to (+)-exo-Brevicomin from racemic 2-hydroxybutanal and HPA, with six subsequent synthetic manipulations (Scheme 4). The HPLC assay is more robust and easier to perform. Transketolase is one of several enzymes that act together to catalyze the successive rearrangement of ribulose-5-phosphate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. TK (EC 2.2.1.1) has proven to be an attractive enzyme for the synthesis of a range of α,α′-dihydroxy ketones that are of interest themselves or are synthetically useful intermediates to a range of other molecules including ketosugars and 2-amino-1,3-diols. The kinetic behavior of the assay system is complicated. C. Umezawa, M. Shin, in Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology, 1999. Thiamin pyrophosphate is a cofactor for a number of enzymes such as transketolase, pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. In heart tissue this effect was evident after 4 experimental days, and in all tissues (but brain) by 7 days; the effect was greater in the affected tissues after 13 days of thiamine deficiency. Three genes have been identified in the human genome encoding TKT iso-zymes: TKT, TKTL1 and TKTL2 [22]. Direct measurements of the vitamins are affected by dietary intake and nutritional supplementation. As a soluble enzyme, it occurs in the cellular and extra-cellular fluid. Nonbiocatalytic routes to α,α′-dihydroxy ketones have been reported, although these are normally multistep procedures with poor atom efficiencies, such as a five-step approach to aromatic 1,3-dihydroxyketones32 and an asymmetric strategy using the chiral auxiliary SAMP.33 A one-step biomimetic synthesis of racemic 1,3-dihydroxyketones has also been described.34 However, TK offers a stereoselective one-step approach and its ability to accept a wide range of aldehyde acceptors has made it particularly useful. Oral treatment is ineffective. Additional transporters help with absorption and renal recovery. To investigate the consequences of decreased Pig liver transketolase has a molecular weight of 138 kDa and exists as an α2β2 tetramer, with subunit molecular weights of 52 kDa and 29 kDa, respectively.431. To the Editor: Buttery and Pannall (1) make the tempting suggestion that lysate from whole blood rather than from washed erythrocytes might be used in kinetic assays of transketolase (TK, EC 2.2.1.1). The thiamine cofactor is bound at the subunit interface and is anchored to the protein via a divalent metal ion, coordinated to the oxygen of each phosphate group, Asp157, Asn187, the amide oxygen of residue 189, and a water molecule in an octahedral geometry. Healthy men who do not suffer from alcoholism can usually stand with one foot behind the other and their eyes open for nearly the full time; women for more than 45 seconds [213]. Sometimes the syndrome is not recognized until adolescence or adulthood. Reductions in the activities of one or more of the ThDP-dependent enzymes, transketolase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (α-KGDH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), are thought to be responsible for the tissue damage and impaired cell function that accompany thiamine deficiency (Butterworth 1989, Martin et al. JOHN ESBEN KIRK, in Enzymes of the Arterial Wall, 1969. Each test is performed twice with the eyes open and twice with the eyes closed. A more sensitive test, however, is the measurement of thiamin-phosphorylated esters in plasma; the level of phosphate esters declines in plasma before any change occurs in erythrocyte transketolase values. Failure to recognise and promptly treat can result in Korsakoff's syndrome or psychosis. The thiamin pyrophosphate is the effector molecule and exogenously added thiamin is converted to thiamin pyrophosphate to exert repression of thiCEFGH transcription. Confusion becomes apparent, with an impaired ability to correctly answer standard orientation questions (What is the year/season/date/day/month?). She gives birth to a healthy child, who continues to develop normally. Congenital heart defects were noted in four of the five affected individuals, and there was a history of chronic diarrhea and cataracts in the older individuals with the homozygous 18 base pair insertion. Several transketolases have been sequenced including the enzymes from humans,436 and E. coli.437 The latter enzyme was cloned and expressed in a high copy plasmid. Limited structural information is available for the rat and pig liver enzymes. The test values do not solely represent the activity of TK in the sample, but they are good indications. Autopsy series suggest that almost 2% of adults have this severe deficiency disease at the time of death [203]. Broadly, transketolase catalyzes cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in keto sugars, transferring the glycolic aldehyde to aldose sugar acceptors. Table 7. MEAN TRANSKETOLASE ACTIVITIES OF HUMAN VASCULAR TISSUEa, TABLE II-2. zyme protein, and binding ability ofcoenzyme to transketolase under chronic alcohol administration, as well as total thiamin status and the transketolase activity. Sometimes the syndrome is not recognized until adolescence or adulthood. Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay protocol for the assessment of thiamine status Kerry S.Jones, 1Damon A.Parkington, Lorna J.Cox,1,2 and Albert Koulman1 ... amine is affected by recent dietary intake and is, therefore,notsuitableasabiomarkeroflong-term thiamine status. A more sensitive test, however, is the measurement of thiamin-phosphorylated esters in plasma; the level of phosphate esters declines in plasma before any change occurs in erythrocyte transketolase values. Thus Ile189 has little effect on the affinity of transketolase for the donor substrate but does affect acceptor substrate and thiamine binding, implicating a possible role for Ile189 in the catalytic mechanism. Where specific cellular elements such as platelets, lymphocytes, and granulocytes are concerned, the volumes of blood to be extracted can be considerable. Initially, proton abstraction at C-2 of the thiazolium ring of thiamine occurs via Glu418. She slowly regains consciousness and starts seeing again but it takes many weeks for the confusion, poor movement coordination, and weakness of the legs to resolve. A stimulation of greater than 16% has been taken as a thiamin deficiency. Transketolase (TK) catalyzes reactions in the Calvin cycle and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP) and produces erythrose-4-phosphate, which is a precursor for the shikimate pathway leading to phenylpropanoid metabo- lism. We don’t know what she is told about her personal risk and how to guard against another episode. Scheme 5. Within a few days, she progressively starts losing her vision, has headaches, feels drowsy, becomes too weak to stand on her legs, and experiences a tingling feeling in her feet. TK (EC 2.2.1.1) has proven to be an attractive enzyme for the synthesis of a range of α,α′-dihydroxy ketones that are of interest themselves or are synthetically useful intermediates to a range of other molecules including ketosugars and 2-amino-1,3-diols. It is reasonable to assume that she has an inherited predisposition that increases her thiamine requirements. With treatment – Eyes improve – in days, though nystagmus may persist for months. Available crystal Structures of transketolase, P.A. Treatment must be given immediately to persons with a suggestive clinical picture and evidence of chronic alcohol use. The term megaphenic indicates that a locus has an outsized effect on a trait. In bacteria, the pentose phosphate shunt serves the additional role of generating erythrose-4-phosphate for entry into the shikimate biosynthetic pathway. D. Thiamine deficiency. As mentioned above, about 10% of people with serious chronic alcohol abuse will eventually develop WKS. TK has been used for some time as a catalyst in enzymatic and chemoenzymatic synthesis and several reviews have recorded this progress.2,31,35–37 Notably, using β-HPA as a ketol donor, a large range of aliphatic aldehyde acceptors, including nonphosphorylated, α-hydroxylated, and non-α-hydroxylated compounds, have been used with E. coli, yeast, and spinach TK (Scheme 3). The most direct reason for impaired transketolase activity is inadequate thiamine intake. A comparison of enzymic activities of arteriosclerotic and normal sections of the same vascular samples revealed distinctly lower values in the arteriosclerotic portions (Table II-4); the greatest decrease in transketolase level occurred in the fibrous-arteriosclerotic aortic specimens (Table II-4). E rythrocyte transketolase activity (ETKA) was determined in ten uremics undergoing long-term hemodialysis and in four patients treated with Giordano-Giovanetti diet therapy. COEFFICIENTS OF CORRELATION BETWEEN AGE AND TRANSKETOLASE ACTIVITYa, TABLE II-4. ADP, adenosine diphosphate. A significant causative role of TKTL1 could explain why WKS is much more common in men than in women [209]. Transketolase is one of several enzymes that act together to catalyze the successive rearrangement of ribulose-5-phosphate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Spontaneous confabulation frequency can be rated on a semiquantitative Likert scale (never, seldom, sometimes, often, or always) based on queries to nursing staff that have contact with the person throughout the day. For illustrative purposes, we shall focus here on transketolase (TKT; EC 2.2.1.1), which needs thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP, also called thiamine diphosphate; Figure 4.31) as a cofactor. The Fregly–Graybiel walk-a-line test [212] explores abnormalities of the cerebellum. Transketolase is a thiamine-dependent enzyme that converts fructose-6 phosphate into pentose-5 phosphate, which results in decreased flux through the hexosamine pathway. His30 and His263 are postulated to form hydrogen bonds to the negatively charged oxygen atom generated at the transition state. Stand for 30 seconds each on the left and then the right foot. In conjunction with whole blood or erythrocyte transketolase activity preloading and postloading, a thiamine loading test is the best indicator of thiamine deficiency. Usually, whole blood concentrations of 66.5–200 nmol l−1 are encountered. Use of TK to prepare (+)-exo-Brevicomin and 6-deoxy-l-sorbose. See Sprenger and Pohl for a summary of some of these data.2 HPA (free acid or Li-HPA salt) as a donor is useful synthetically as carbon dioxide is generated in the reaction, rendering the reaction irreversible9 as discussed in Section 7.17.1.4. Deletions and other variants do occur but their relevance is still unclear. Patients. Several diseases are associated with thiamine deficiency, including beriberi, biotin-thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease, Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome, and others (see thiamine for a comprehensive listing). A 27-year-old pregnant (week 12) woman in Italy is admitted to the obstetrics department after 2 weeks of persistent nausea, vomiting, and loss of 5 kg body weight [201]. Enzymatic testing confirmed significantly reduced transketolase activity. This latter function is associated with the conversion of glucose to ribulose-5-phosphate with the concomitant generation of two equivalents of NADPH, which in turn maintains the reducing environment of the cell and protects against oxidative stress. Ask the test person to keep their head still and use only their eyes to follow your index finger as it moves from eye level to the far right, far left, upward, and downward. Three genes have been identified in the human genome encoding TKT iso-zymes: TKT, TKTL1 and TKTL2 [22]. Mucosal transketolase activity was not affected by either type of tea. We don’t know what she is told about her personal risk and how to guard against another episode. ThDP) is formed, which is then transformed into a catalytically active holoenzyme (TK* ‐ ThDP). Chemoenzymatic approaches using TK have been described to ketoses such as 5-thio-d-xylopyranose or ulosonic acid analogs, where key steps have been performed using TK or aldolases.45,46 An interesting two-step enzymatic procedure using a β-alanine:pyruvate transaminase (TAm) together with a wild-type TK overexpressed in a single E. coli host from separate plasmids enabled the formation of 2-amino-1,3,4-butanetriol in a 21% yield from glycolaldehyde and HPA (Scheme 6).47 This was carried out as a one-pot process using either unlysed cells of the dual plasmid or lysed cells. It comes in fortified flour (in Australia, Canada, and the USA), legumes and some vegetables, the outer layers of grains (therefore with whole grain), pork, and yeast. Values expressed as micromoles of sedoheptulose-7-phosphate formed per gram wet tissue and per gram tissue nitrogen per hour. Onset can be any time after birth. The Wechsler Memory Scale (Revised 1987) gives a more reliable quantitative measure. Erythrocyte transketolase activity suggested severe thiamine deficiency in 24 of 25 patients with heart failure who were taking at least 80 mg/day of furosemide and in four of seven patients who were taking 40 mg/day (OR = 19; CI = 1.1, 601) (6c). The thiamine pyrimidine ring is bound in a hydrophobic pocket via a hydrogen bond between the ring nitrogen and Glu418. Transketolase is anessential enzyme in the pentose phosphate shunt and plays a role in myelin sheath maintenance. With lower transketolase activity, less NADPH and nucleotides are available. Both measurements are useful to assess body thiamine status.I, 2 Althoughseveral methods for these measure mentshave beendescribed, each has limitations. She gets medication to treat her nausea and intravenous fluids containing glucose. Loss-of-function variants of the transketolases also have been suggested [207]. From this organism, 4 kg of enzyme with a specific activity of 30 U mg−1 was isolated from a 1500 L growth. Scheme 4. Erythrocyte transketolase (TK; EC 2.2.1.1), a thiamine-dependent enzyme, is widely used clinically for assessing thiamine status, defi ciency ofwhich causes a decrease in the enzyme activity. Erythrocyte transketolase (TK; EC 2.2.1.1), a thiamine-dependent enzyme, is widely used clinically for assessing thiamine status, defi ciency ofwhich causes a decrease in the enzyme activity. While transketolase activity was higher in whole blood, the transketolase activity coefficient was similar between whole blood and erythrocyte hemolysates. Although emerging evidence has suggested a strong link between the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and obesity, the role of transketolase (TKT), an enzyme in the nonoxidative branch of the PPP that connects PPP and glycolysis, remains obscure in adipose tissues. Initially, proton abstraction at C-2 of the thiazolium ring of thiamine occurs via Glu418. CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Transketolase (TK) catalyzes reactions in the Calvin cycle and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP) and produces erythrose-4-phosphate, which is a precursor for the shikimate pathway leading to phenylpropanoid metabolism. We highlight the clinical relevance of TKT expression in cancers. Involuntary rapid eye movements against the path of the index finger (nystagmus) indicate abnormal oculomotor (eye muscle) control. The TK level in serum is of diagnostic interest in liver diseases and cancer, while changes in the activity of this enzyme are of interest in erythrocytes and tissues in thiamine deficiency. Evidence for the vital importance of this reaction comes from the fact that at least three distinct genes encode enzyme with transketolase activity. TKT was the ma-jority of transketolase not only in human normal organs but also in most tumor tissues while TKTL1 and TKTL2 are mainly expressed in testis [23, 24].
