NMT1/THI5 like This family contains the NMT1 and THI5 proteins. These proteins are proposed to be required for the biosynthesis of the pyrimidine moiety of thiamine.3]. They are regulated by thiamine. The protein adopts a fold related to the periplasmic binding protein (PBP) family. Both pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) and an iron atom are bound to the protein suggesting numerous residues of the active site necessary for HMP-P biosynthesis. The yeast protein is a dimer and, although exceptionally using PLP as a substrate, has notable similarities with enzymes dependent on this molecule as a cofactor.
