N/A. Members of the HesA/MoeB/ThiF family of proteins (pfam00899) include a number of members encoded in the midst of thiamine biosynthetic operons. This mix of known and putative ThiF proteins shows a deep split in phylogenetic trees, with the Escherichia. coli ThiF and the E. coli MoeB proteins seemingly more closely related than E. coli ThiF and Campylobacter (for example) ThiF. This model represents the more widely distributed clade of ThiF proteins such found in E. coli. [Biosynthesis of cofactors, prosthetic groups, and carriers, Thiamine] |
