TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a thiamine biosynthetic gene that has a dual function in thiamine biosynthesis and mitochondrial DNA damage tolerance. It appears to be involved in producing the thiazole portion of thiamine (vitamin B1). A crystal structure of the protein reveals that it forms a 2-ring homo-octamer. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
