Subunit of a two-component pyridoxal-5'-phosphate synthase; involved in pyridoxine (vitamin B6) biosynthesis from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, ribose-5-phosphate and ammonia liberated from glutamine by glutaminase; forms a complex with Sno1p that functions as an active glutaminase; member of a stationary phase-induced gene family where transcriptional induction occurs during the postdiauxic phase; co-regulated with SNO1; paralog of SNZ2 and SNZ3
