Die Biosynthese von Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): ein Beispiel für biochemische Vielfalt

Abstract: Die Aufklärung der Biosynthesewege zu Thiamin (Vitamin B1) und dessen Pyrophosphatester, dem wichtigen Coenzym Cocarboxylase, ist und bleibt für Forscher eine Herausforderung. Die Thiamin‐Biosynthese gliedert sich in die voneinander unabhängigen Synthesewege zur Pyrimidin‐Einheit 4‐Amino‐5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐methylpyrimidin und zur Thiazol‐Einheit 5‐(2‐Hydroxyethyl)‐4‐methylthiazol sowie den Weg dieser Untereinheiten zum Vitamin. Die Schritte des letztgenannten Prozesses wurden vor ungefähr zwanzig Jahren vollstä… Show more

“…The idea of their pre‐biological ancestry has impressive chemical support, especially in the case of riboflavin; so far—with the possible exception of the porphinoids—for none of the structurally complex cofactors other than riboflavin has a “chemomimetic” nature for biosynthesis of the core structure been so convincingly demonstrated through non‐enzymatic simulation of chemically complex biosynthetic steps under potentially prebiotic conditions 293. 294 Clarifying by experimental synthetic analysis the question of whether the structures of the archaic cofactors are elementary to the extent of being potentially prebiotic could well provide a breakthrough at the front line of research into the problem of the chemistry of biogenesis.…”

“…The biosynthesis of thiamine phosphate is convergent, linking two independently biosynthesized heterocyclic precursors (Scheme 1, 6 and 7) in the final step. [1][2][3][4] The biosynthesis of the thiazole moiety of thiamine has been well characterized in the aerobe Bacillus subtilis, [4,5] which obtains the C2-N3 fragment of the thiazole by oxidation of glycine 9 to dehydroglycine 2 using ThiO [6] (Scheme 1). This hydrolytically unstable intermediate is incorporated into the thiazole 6 in a multistep reaction requiring the thiazole synthase (ThiG), [7] the sulfur donor ThiFS thiocarboxylate, [8,9] and 1-deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate (Dxp,5).…”

“…Application of 1‐deoxy‐ d ‐xylulose (DX) to several plant species has unequivocally demonstrated this sugar to be the precursor of thiamine [1], pyridoxol [2]and a range of terpenoids ([3]and literature cited therein). Mevalonic acid has been clearly ruled out as the predominant precursor for this type of compounds.…”
