Discovery of a natural thiamine adenine nucleotide

Abstract: Several important cofactors are adenine nucleotides with a vitamin as the catalytic moiety. Here, we report the discovery of the first adenine nucleotide containing vitamin B1: adenosine thiamine triphosphate (AThTP, 1), or thiaminylated ATP. We discovered AThTP in Escherichia coli and found that it accumulates specifically in response to carbon starvation, thereby acting as a signal rather than a cofactor. We detected smaller amounts in yeast and in plant and animal tissues.

“…AThTP was synthesized according to the method described by Bettendorff et al ( 9 ) The compound was initially purified by solid phase extraction on a MEGA Bond Elut ® C 18 (Varian Inc., Harbor City, CA, USA) cartridge. After passage of the water solution of the crude compound, the cartridge was washed with water.…”

“…Moreover, intracellular thiamine and thiamine phosphate pools are regulated by various stress conditions in Z. mays and A. thaliana seedlings; it was suggested that thiamine is a signalling molecule important for the adaptation to various stress conditions 47,48 . Interestingly, such a signalling role is assigned to unphosphorylated thiamine in plants, while it should be assigned to ThTP and AThTP in E. coli 5,6,12 (see above). Note that in Arabidopsis leaves, ThTP accumulates during withering 49 .…”
