PF01910: Thiamine-binding protein
IPR002767: integrated entry for Thiamine-binding protein
Source description
The crystal structure of two of these members shows that this domain has a ferredoxin like fold and is likely to exists as at least homodimers. Sulphate ions are are located at the dimer interfaces, which are thought to confer additional stability. Although the function of this domain remains to be identified, its structure suggests a role in protein-protein interactions possibly regulated by the binding of small-molecule ligands [InterPro reference PUB00019479]. Solution of the structure of the hyperthermophilic anaerobic Thermotoga maritima sequence, UniProtKB:Q9WYV6, shows that this has a beta-alpha-beta-beta-alpha-beta ferredoxin-like fold and assembles as a homotetramer. It was possible to identify a pocket in each monmer that bound an unidentified ligand. It was also found that it bound charged thiamine though not hydroxymethyl pyrimidine. It is proposed that it is transporting charged thiamine around the cytoplasm. Under oxidative conditions this bacterium is under stress, and the transcriiptional unit within which this protein is expressed is up-regulated in these conditions, suggesting that the chelation of cytoplasmic thaimine is part of the response mechanism to such oxidatvie stress, which is mediated by this family [InterPro reference PUB00055842].

Pfam membership is not functional evidence. Whole-protein sequences do not establish domain boundaries. A coverage gap here is not absence from UniProt.

Related Mech records
This family joined the worklist after the frozen cross-Mech scan, so other Mechs were not searched for it. Missing links here are not evidence that other Mechs lack it; rows shown come from mentions of a former DUF/UPF name.
No cross-Mech examples are present in the supplied snapshot.

Status and evidence
- Seed status
- A name-based classification of frozen InterPro/Pfam metadata. UNKNOWN CANDIDATE means the metadata explicitly says the function is unknown. KNOWN HISTORICAL DUF means a DUF name matched without that wording; this heuristic is not proof of a known function and does not establish experimental characterization. EX DUF means Pfam renamed the family away from a DUF/UPF name, as recorded in Pfam's previous identifiers; a rename usually follows published work on some members but is naming history, not proof of function for every member. Some EX DUF families' current names or descriptions still say the function is unknown; their classification basis lists this, and scoring does not treat them as characterized. FALSE POSITIVE TEXT HIT means the naming rules did not match.
- Characterization
- A separate evidence-scoring result. UNSCORED means no score has been calculated; it is not evidence that the family lacks a known function. Missing scores are not negative evidence. PARTIALLY CHARACTERIZED has partial support; KNOWN HISTORICAL DUF can inherit the seed label or reflect a known-function signal. Neither label implies experimental validation.
- Evidence counts
- Source-specific signals, not unique proteins, publications, or confidence scores. Known counts Rhea reactions and experimentally supported GO molecular-function annotations. Partial counts functional/domain assignments. Context counts structural, environmental, orthology, interaction and neighborhood signals; context alone does not assign function. Repeated annotations may not be independent.
- Curation status
- Reported separately from seed classification and characterization. SNAPSHOT ONLY means no curated metadata was supplied for this build. SEEDED denotes a source-derived record, not an expert-reviewed functional claim.
- Missing counts
- Not available means the source did not supply that counter. A zero is a reported count. Not scored means evidence counts are unavailable.
