General annotation (Comments)

Function	Involved in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin, an essential cofactor of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Catalyzes the transformation of 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate into 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin By similarity.
Catalytic activity	7,8-dihydroneopterin 3'-triphosphate = 6-pyruvoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin + triphosphate.
Cofactor	Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity.
Pathway	Cofactor biosynthesis; tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis; tetrahydrobiopterin from 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-(erythro-1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)-dihydropteridine triphosphate: step 1/3.
Subunit structure	Homohexamer formed of two homotrimers in a head to head fashion By similarity.
Miscellaneous	The active site is at the interface between 2 subunits. The proton acceptor Cys is on one subunit, and the charge relay system is on the other subunit.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the PTPS family.
