Catabolism of Carbon Chains From Amino Acids
Deaminated Amino acids yield α-keto acids that, directly or via
additional reactions, feed into major metabolic pathways (e.g., Krebs
Cycle).
Carbon skeletons of glucogenic amino acids are degraded to:
- pyruvate, or
- a 4-C or 5-C intermediate of Krebs Cycle.
These precursors are major carbon source for gluconeogenesis
when glucose levels are low.
They can also be catabolized for energy, or converted to glycogen or fatty
acids for energy storage.
Carbon skeletons of ketogenic amino acids are degraded to:
-acetyl-CoA, or
-acetoacetate.
can be catabolized for energy in Krebs Cycle, or converted to ketone bodies
or fatty acids.
They cannot be converted to glucose.
Glucogenic amino acids
The 3-C α-keto acid pyruvate is produced from alanine,
serine, glycine, cysteine, & threonine.
Alanine deamination via Transaminase directly yields pyruvate.

Threonine is catabolized -but to less extent- by Ser/Thr dehydratase into
α-ketobutyrate to be converted to propionyl CoA then to succinyl CoA.
In addition to ketogenic catabolism into acetyl CoA and glycine.

Glycine is also a product of threonine catabolism through
α-amino-β-ketobutyrate (as just shown).
It is interconverted to serine by a reversible reaction involving
tetrahydrofolate producing N5,N10-THF (determined by demands for
serine or glycine or availability of N5,N10-THF).
Glycine can also be degraded to CO2 and NH3 by a glycine cleavage
complex whose deficiency leads to the mental disorder Nonketotic
hyperglycinemia.
Glyoxalate produced by glycine can be transaminated back to glycine or
oxidized to oxalate which at high level could lead to kidney stones.
Cysteine is synthesized from methionine.
Methionine adenosyltransferase catalyzes the formation of S-
adenosylmethionine which loses a methyl and adenosyl group by
methyltransferase and adenosylhomocysteinase ,respectvely, to form
homocysteine. However, only sulfur atom of homocysteine will transfer
to a serine to form cysteine after formation of the adduct cystathionine
and its cleavage by cystathionase into cysteine and α-ketobutyrate .

Cystathioninuria
Deficiency in cystathionase (lyase)
No clinical symptoms (↑cystathionine in blood & urine)
Homocysteinuria
• Rare; deficiency of cystathionine β-synthase
• Dislocated optical lenses
• Mental retardation
• Osteoporosis
• Cardiovascular disease death
High blood levels of homocysteine associated with
cardiovascular disease
• May be related to dietary folate deficiency
• Folate enhances conversion of
homocysteine to methionine
Cysteine catabolism yields pyruvate.
The 4-C Krebs Cycle intermediate oxaloacetate is produced
from aspartate & asparagine.
Aspartate transamination yields oxaloacetate.
Aspartate is also converted to fumarate in Urea Cycle. Fumarate is
converted to oxaloacetate in Krebs cycle.

The 4-C Krebs Cycle intermediate succinyl-CoA is produced
from isoleucine, valine, & methionine.
Transulfuration reactions of methionine ,that synthesize cysteine
from homocysteine and serine, produce α-ketobutyrate which is
converted to propionyl CoA, which is metabolized into succinyl-CoA
through unusual reactions one of which is vitamin B12 dependent .
Valine and isoleucine in addition to leucine are branched-chain
amino acids (BCAAs). Their metabolism is an excellent source of
energy (NADH). Initial steps :
BCAA transferases α-keto counterparts α-keto acid dehydrogenases
CoA compounds dehydrogenases double bond compounds
Valine and isoleucine form hydroxylated intermediate.
The isoleucine intermediate is oxidized by NAD into succinyl CoA
and acetyl CoA .
The valine intermediate is oxidized by NAD in another step into
succinyl CoA.
The 5-C Krebs Cycle intermediate a-ketoglutarate is produced
from glutamate, glutamine, arginine, proline , & histidine.

Proline and Arginine are catabolized into α-ketoglutarate
but in slightly different pathway than their synthesis.
Histidine is converted to glutamate.
The first step is catalyzed by histadinase.
The last step in this pathway involves the cofactor tetrahydrofolate.
Histidinemia is caused by histidinase deficiency. Mental retardation (not

Aromatic Amino Acids
Aromatic amino acids phenylalanine & tyrosine are catabolized to
fumarate and acetoacetate.
Hydroxylation of phenylalanine to form tyrosine involves the reductant
tetrahydrobiopterin.
Some tyrosine is used to synthesize catecholamines : DOPA
(dihydroxyphenylalanine) and Dopamine (related to Parkinson’s
disease) in brain , Norepinephrine and Epinephrine in adrenal medulla,

Genetic deficiency of Phenylalanine
Hydroxylase leads to the disease
Phenylketonuria (PKU).
Phenylalanine & phenylpyruvate
(the product of phenylalanine
deamination via transaminase)
accumulate in blood & urine.
Mental retardation results unless
treatment begins immediately after
birth. Treatment consists of limiting
phenylalanine intake to levels barely
adequate to support growth. Tyrosine,
an essential nutrient for individuals
with phenylketonuria, must be
supplied in the diet.
• Occurs in 1:16,000 live births in U.S.
• Seizures, mental retardation, brain damage
• Treatment: limit phenylalanine intake
• Screening of all newborns mandated in all states

High [phenylalanine] inhibits Tyrosine Hydroxylase (tyrosinase), on the
pathway for synthesis of the pigment melanin from tyrosine. Therefore,
individuals with phenylketonuria have light skin & hair color.
Conversion of tyrosine to melanin requires tyrosinase or tyrosine
hydroxylase in melanocytes whose defect or absence leads to Albinism .

liver failure, renal dysfunction, rickets, and neuropathy
Alkaptonuria (first metabolic inborn error identified)
• Deficiency of homogentisate dioxygenase
• Urine turns dark on standing
• Oxidation of homogentisic acid
• Asymptomatic in childhood
• Tendency toward arthritis in adulthood (Cartilage deposition)
Tryptophan
Tryptophan has complex pathways for degradation. kynurenine is
formed and can be further metabolized into glutarate then acetoacetyl
CoA.
Kynurenine can give rise to neurotransmitters.
Typtophan hydroxylation then decarboxylation end up with the brain
neurotransmitter serotonin. The sleep-inducing molecule Melatonin is
synthesized from tryptophan.
Ingestion of tryptophan rich food leads to sleepiness due to melatonin
sleeping effect.
ketogenic amino acids
The only two entirely ketogenic amino acids are Leucine and
Lysine
As explained earlier for the other branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)
valine and isoleucine they share with leucine initial steps of catabolism
that form a double bond CoA compound.
However, leucine gives an intermediate which is cleaved to acetoacetate
and acetyl CoA.
Diseases of metabolism of BCAAs
Enzyme deficiency is not common. Rare hypervalinemia and
hyperleucinemia-isoleucinemia.
Deficiency in ketoacid dehydrogenases leads to maple syrup urine
disease, mental retardation, ketoacidosis, and short life span.
Enzyme deficiency of later reactions gives sweaty feet urine smell, and
cat urine smell.
Lysine has ( as tryptophan) a complex pathways for degradation into
acetoacetyl CoA.
Hyperlysinemia is benign . More serious is familial lysinuric protein
intolerance due to failure in intestinal transport that leads to decrease in
plasma lysine, arginine and ornithine down to 1/3 normal, with after meal
hyperammonemia related to urea cycle.
Other glucogenic amino acids that are have ketogenic fate include:
The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine that generate
acetoacetate, and tryptophan which produces acetoacetyl CoA (as we
saw earlier).
That is in addition to the BCAA isoleucine shown to form acetyl
CoA . And finally threonine which forms acetyl CoA and glycine
through α-amino-β-ketobutyrate mentioned earlier.

  • 2. Catabolism of Carbon Chains From Amino Acids
  • 3. Deaminated Amino acids yield α-keto acids that, directly or via additional reactions, feed into major metabolic pathways (e.g., Krebs Cycle). Carbon skeletons of glucogenic amino acids are degraded to: - pyruvate, or - a 4-C or 5-C intermediate of Krebs Cycle. These precursors are major carbon source for gluconeogenesis when glucose levels are low. They can also be catabolized for energy, or converted to glycogen or fatty acids for energy storage. Carbon skeletons of ketogenic amino acids are degraded to: -acetyl-CoA, or -acetoacetate. can be catabolized for energy in Krebs Cycle, or converted to ketone bodies or fatty acids. They cannot be converted to glucose. Glucogenic amino acids The 3-C α-keto acid pyruvate is produced from alanine, serine, glycine, cysteine, & threonine. Alanine deamination via Transaminase directly yields pyruvate. alanine -ketoglutarate pyruvate glutamate Aminotransferase (Transaminase) COO CH2 CH2 C COO O CH3 HC COO NH3 + COO CH2 CH2 HC COO NH3 + CH3 C COO O+ +

  • 6.
  • 7. Threonine is catabolized ,through β-ketobutyrate by threonine dehydrogenase, into pyruvate . Threonine is catabolized -but to less extent- by Ser/Thr dehydratase into α-ketobutyrate to be converted to propionyl CoA then to succinyl CoA. In addition to ketogenic catabolism into acetyl CoA and glycine.

  • 8. Glycine is also a product of threonine catabolism through α-amino-β-ketobutyrate (as just shown). It is interconverted to serine by a reversible reaction involving tetrahydrofolate producing N5,N10-THF (determined by demands for serine or glycine or availability of N5,N10-THF).
  • 9. Glycine can also be degraded to CO2 and NH3 by a glycine cleavage complex whose deficiency leads to the mental disorder Nonketotic hyperglycinemia. Glyoxalate produced by glycine can be transaminated back to glycine or oxidized to oxalate which at high level could lead to kidney stones. Cysteine is synthesized from methionine. Methionine adenosyltransferase catalyzes the formation of S- adenosylmethionine which loses a methyl and adenosyl group by methyltransferase and adenosylhomocysteinase ,respectvely, to form homocysteine. However, only sulfur atom of homocysteine will transfer to a serine to form cysteine after formation of the adduct cystathionine and its cleavage by cystathionase into cysteine and α-ketobutyrate .

The 4-C Krebs Cycle intermediate succinyl-CoA is produced from isoleucine, valine, & methionine. Transulfuration reactions of methionine ,that synthesize cysteine from homocysteine and serine, produce α-ketobutyrate which is converted to propionyl CoA, which is metabolized into succinyl-CoA through unusual reactions one of which is vitamin B12 dependent . Valine and isoleucine in addition to leucine are branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Their metabolism is an excellent source of energy (NADH). Initial steps : BCAA transferases α-keto counterparts α-keto acid dehydrogenases CoA compounds dehydrogenases double bond compounds Valine and isoleucine form hydroxylated intermediate. The isoleucine intermediate is oxidized by NAD into succinyl CoA and acetyl CoA . The valine intermediate is oxidized by NAD in another step into succinyl CoA.

Phenylalanine & phenylpyruvate (the product of phenylalanine deamination via transaminase) accumulate in blood & urine. Mental retardation results unless treatment begins immediately after birth. Treatment consists of limiting phenylalanine intake to levels barely adequate to support growth. Tyrosine, an essential nutrient for individuals with phenylketonuria, must be supplied in the diet. • Occurs in 1:16,000 live births in U.S. • Seizures, mental retardation, brain damage • Treatment: limit phenylalanine intake • Screening of all newborns mandated in all states Transaminase Phenylalanine Phenylpyruvate (Phenylketone) Phenylalanine Deficient in Hydroxylase Phenylketonuria Tyrosine Melanins Multiple Reactions Fumarate + Acetoacetate
  • 20. High [phenylalanine] inhibits Tyrosine Hydroxylase (tyrosinase), on the pathway for synthesis of the pigment melanin from tyrosine. Therefore, individuals with phenylketonuria have light skin & hair color. Conversion of tyrosine to melanin requires tyrosinase or tyrosine hydroxylase in melanocytes whose defect or absence leads to Albinism .

  • 22. Tryptophan Tryptophan has complex pathways for degradation. kynurenine is formed and can be further metabolized into glutarate then acetoacetyl CoA. Kynurenine can give rise to neurotransmitters. Typtophan hydroxylation then decarboxylation end up with the brain neurotransmitter serotonin. The sleep-inducing molecule Melatonin is synthesized from tryptophan. Ingestion of tryptophan rich food leads to sleepiness due to melatonin sleeping effect. ketogenic amino acids The only two entirely ketogenic amino acids are Leucine and Lysine As explained earlier for the other branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) valine and isoleucine they share with leucine initial steps of catabolism that form a double bond CoA compound. However, leucine gives an intermediate which is cleaved to acetoacetate and acetyl CoA. Diseases of metabolism of BCAAs Enzyme deficiency is not common. Rare hypervalinemia and hyperleucinemia-isoleucinemia. Deficiency in ketoacid dehydrogenases leads to maple syrup urine disease, mental retardation, ketoacidosis, and short life span. Enzyme deficiency of later reactions gives sweaty feet urine smell, and cat urine smell.
  • 23. Lysine has ( as tryptophan) a complex pathways for degradation into acetoacetyl CoA. Hyperlysinemia is benign . More serious is familial lysinuric protein intolerance due to failure in intestinal transport that leads to decrease in plasma lysine, arginine and ornithine down to 1/3 normal, with after meal hyperammonemia related to urea cycle. Other glucogenic amino acids that are have ketogenic fate include: The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine that generate acetoacetate, and tryptophan which produces acetoacetyl CoA (as we saw earlier). That is in addition to the BCAA isoleucine shown to form acetyl CoA . And finally threonine which forms acetyl CoA and glycine through α-amino-β-ketobutyrate mentioned earlier.
