Reaction Steps

As noted above, in bacteria and fungi, phosphomethylpyrimidine kinase; (EC 2.7.4.7) catalyzes the reaction of ATP+4-amino-2-methyl-5-phosphomethylpyrimidine to produce ADP+4-amino-2-methyl-5-diphosphomethylpyrimidine; thiamine-phosphate diphosphorylase; (EC 2.5.1.3) catalyzes the reaction of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine diphosphate+4-methyl-5-(2-phosphono-oxyethyl)thiazole to produce diphosphate+thiamine monophosphate; (EC 3.1.3.-) catalyzes the reaction of thiamine monophosphate to produce thiamine. The present inventor has first recognized the importance of this distinction in providing a target for inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms.
