pubmed:abstractText |
The synthesis of the pyrimidine moiety of thiamine (vitamin B1) shares five reactions with the de novo purine biosynthetic pathway. Aminoimidazole ribotide (AIR) is the last common intermediate before the two pathways diverge. Evidence for the existence of a new pathway to the pyrimidine which bypasses the de novo purine biosynthetic pathway is reported here. This pathway is only expressed under anaerobic growth conditions and is denoted alternative pyrimidine biosynthesis or APB. Labeling studies are consistent with pantothenate being a precursor to the pyrimidine moiety of thiamine that is synthesized by the APB pathway. The APB pathway is independent of the alternative purF function which was proposed previously (D. M. Downs and J. R. Roth, J. Bacteriol. 173:6597-6604, 1991). The alternative purF function is shown here to be affected by temperature and exogenous pantothenate. Although the evidence suggests that the APB pathway is separate from the alternative purF function, the relationship between this function and the APB pathway is not yet clear.
