Essential and Nonessential Amino Acids in
Humans.
Glutamate is the precursor for
Proline, Ornithine, and Arginine
•
•
•
•
•
E. coli pathway from Gln to ornithine and Arg involves ATP-driven reduction of the
glutamate gamma carboxyl group to an aldehyde (N-acetylglutamate-5-semialdehyde).
Spontaneous cyclization is prevented by acetylation of amino group by Nacetylglutamate synthase.
N-acetylglutamate-5-semialdehyde is converted to amine by transamination.
Hydrolysis of protecting group yields ornithine which can be converted to arginine.
In humans it is direct from glutamate-5-semialdehyde to ornithine by ornithine-aminotransferase

2.
Ser can act in glycine synthesis in two ways:
Direct conversion of serine to glycine by hydroxymethyl transferase in
reverse (also yields N5, N10-methylene-THF)
Condensation of the N5, N10-methylene-THF with CO2 and NH4+ by the glycine
cleavage system
Cys derived from Ser
•
•
In animals, Cys is derived from Ser and homocysteine
(breakdown product of Met).
The -SH group is derived from Met, so Cys can be
considered essential.

Cys derived from Ser
•
•
•
•
In plants and microorganisms, Cys is synthesized from Ser in two step reaction.
Reaction 1: activation of Ser -OH group by converting to O-acetylserine.
Reaction 2: displacement of the acetate by sulfide.
Sulfide is derived fro man 8-electron reduction reaction.

Biosynthesis of essential amino
acids
•
•
•
Pathways only present in microorganisms and plants.
Derived from metabolic precursors.
Usually involve more steps than nonessential amino acids.
Biosynthesis of Lys, Met, Thr
•
•
First reaction is catalyzed by aspartokinase which converts aspartate to
apartyl--phosphate.
Each pathway is independently controlled.
