Goals
• Understand the relationship of nitrogen to carbon
intermediary metabolism.
• Learn the Urea Cycle sequence, reactions, and products.
• Have an understanding of an overview of amino acid
catabolism resulting in 7 basic products and the difference
between ketogenic and glucogenic catabolism.
• Have an understanding of an overview of amino acid
anabolism from basic precursors.
• Understand the concept of essential and nonessential
amino acids in the diet of humans.
• Understand that many diseases can arise from errors in
amino acid metabolism.
Do NOT memorize any of the specific amino acid catabolic or
anabolic pathways. They are for informational purposes only.

Dietary Amino Acids in Metabolism
“Excess dietary amino acids are not simply excreted but are
converted to common metabolites that are precursors of glucose,
fatty acids, ketone bodies – and are therefore metabolic fuels”
Voet, Voet & Pratt 2008 p.732
Protein Synthesis & Degradation
1.
Nutrient storage as protein; break proteins down in times of metabolic
need (muscle a prime source)
2.
Eliminate accumulation of abnormal proteins that would harm the cell
3.
Permit the regulation of cellular metabolism by the elimination of
unneeded enzymes and regulatory proteins.
Voet, Voet & Pratt 2008 p.733
Catabolism
Cellular Protein Degradative Routes
Lysosomal - a cellular compartment at ~pH 5 containing
hydrolytic enzymes (cathepsins). Degrade substances
taken up by endocytosis. Recycle intracellular constituents
enclosed within vacuoles. In “well nourished cells” protein
degradation is nonselective. In starving cells a selective
pathway is activated that imports and degrades proteins
that contain the pentapeptide (Lys-Phe-Glu-Arg-Gln;
KFERQ) e.g., in muscle and liver, but not brain.
Ubiquitin-Based – ATP-based process independent of
lysosomes. Proteins are marked for degradation by linking
to ubiquitin.

Distinguishing Protein Lifetimes
The N-end Rule:
N-terminal residues Asp, Arg, Leu, Lys & Phe
half-life ~ 2-3 minutes
Ala, Gly, Met, Ser Thr, & Val
half-life > 20 hrs in eukaryotes
(>10 prokaryotes)
PEST proteins Proteins with segments rich in
Pro, Glu, Ser, & Thr are rapidily degradedthese AA have sites that can be phosphorylated
– thus targeting them for ubiquitination.

Amino Acid Catabolism:
Overview
Amino acid degradation includes a key step of separating the amino
group from
the carbon skeleton.
Lehninger 2004 Figure 18.1
Voet, Voet & Pratt 2013 Fig 21.6
Amino Acid Deamination
Transamination - most
amino acids are deaminated
by this process carried out by
transaminases
(aminotransferases). Amino
group of amino acid is
transferred (predominately)
to -ketoglutarate
Voet, Voet & Pratt 2013 Chap. 21 page 719
Oxidative Deamination – of glutamate by
glutamate dehydrogenase yields ammonia
and -ketoglutarate

Oxidative Degradation of Amino Acids
Occurs under three different circumstances in animals:
1) During normal homeostasis
2) Protein-rich diet
3) Starvation or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
Lehninger 2000 Chapter 18
Glutamate Dehydrogenase
(Oxidative Deamination)
A mitochondrial enzyme yielding ammonia and -ketoglutarate
It is the only enzyme that can accept either NAD+ or NADP+ as
a coenzyme
G° = ~30 kJ mol-1
Due to the high toxicity of ammonia – it is important that under
physiological conditions G ≈ 0, i.e. at equilibrium.

Glucogenic vs Ketogenic
Amino Acid Degradation
• Glucogenic - degradation lead to glucose
precusors: pyruvate, α-ketoglutarate,
succinyl-CoA, fumarate or oxaloacetate
• Ketogenic – degradation leads to fatty acids
or ketone body precursors: acetyl-CoA or
acetoacetate
• Some amino acids are gluco- and keto-genic

With the exception of tyrosine, all the nonessential amino acids
come from one these four metabolic intermediates: pyruvate,
oxaloacetate, α-ketoglutarate, and 3-phosphoglycerate.
