  • Amphibolic Nature of Krebs Cycle
    Amphibolic nature of Krebs Cycle How what we are is what we eat • In aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is an amphibolic pathway, one that serves in both catabolic and anabolic processes. • Since the citric acid does both synthesis (anabolic) and breakdown (catabolic) activities, it is called an amphibolic pathway • The citric acid cycle is amphibolic (i.e it is both anabolic and catabolic in its function). • It is said to be an AMPHIBOLIC pathway, because it functions in both degradative or catabolic and biosynthetic or anabolic reactions (amphi = both) A central metabolic pathway or amphibolic pathway is a set of reactions which permit the interconversion of several metabolites, and represents the end of the catabolism and the beginning of anabolism • The KREBS CYCLE or citric acid cycle is a series of reactions that degrades acetyl CoA to yield carbon dioxide, and energy, which is used to produce NADH, H+ and FADH. • The KREBS CYCLE connects the catabolic pathways that begin with the digestion and degradation of foods in stages 1 and 2 with the oxidation of substrates in stage 3 that generates most of the energy for ATP synthesis. • The citric acid cycle is the final common pathway in the oxidation of fuel molecules. In stage 3 of metabolism, citric acid is a final common catabolic intermediate in the form of acetylCoA. • This is why the citric acid cycle is called a central metabolic pathway. Anaplerosis and Cataplerosis Anaplerosis is a series of enzymatic reactions in which metabolic intermediates enter the citric acid cycle from the cytosol. Cataplerosis is the opposite, a process where intermediates leave the citric acid cycle and enter the cytosol.

  • Catabolism of the Carbon Skeletons of Amino Acids
    Bio. 2. ASPU. Lectu.3. Prof. Dr. F. ALQuobaili Catabolism of the Carbon Skeletons of Amino Acids • Biomedical Importance ‐ The metabolic diseases or "inborn errors of metabolism" associated with conversion of the carbon skeletons of the common L ‐‐amino acids to amphibolic intermediates can result in irreversible brain damage and .(ﺍﻟﻭﻓﺎﺓ) early mortality ‐ Prenatal or early postnatal detection and timely initiation of treatment thus are essential. Almost all states conduct screening tests for up to as many as 30 metabolic diseases. ‐ The best screening tests use tandem mass spectrometry to detect, in a few drops of neonate blood, catabolites suggestive of a metabolic defect. ‐ Treatment consists primarily of feeding diets low in the amino acids whose catabolism is impaired. • Transamination Typically Initiates Amino Acid Catabolism Removal of ‐amino nitrogen by transamination is the first catabolic reaction of amino acids except for proline, hydroxyproline, threonine, and lysine. The hydrocarbon skeleton that remains is then degraded to amphibolic intermediates. • Asparagine, Aspartate, Glutamine, and Glutamate All four carbons of asparagine and aspartate form oxaloacetate. Analogous reactions convert glutamine and glutamate to ‐ ketoglutarate. No metabolic defects are associated with the catabolism of these four amino acids. • Proline The catabolism of proline takes place in mitochodria. Since proline does not participate in transamination, the nitrogen of this imino acid is retained throughout its oxidation to 1‐ pyrolline‐5‐carboxylate, ring opening to glutamate‐‐ semialdehyde, and oxidation to glutamate, and is only removed during transamination of glutamate to ‐ketoglutarate. There are two metabolic disorders of proline catabolism. Both types are inherited as autosomal recessive traits, and are consistent with a normal adult life.

  • Cellular Stress Created by Intermediary Metabolite Imbalances
    Cellular stress created by intermediary metabolite imbalances Sang Jun Leea, Andrei Trostela, Phuoc Lea, Rajendran Harinarayananb, Peter C. FitzGeraldc, and Sankar Adhyaa,1 aLaboratory of Molecular Biology, National Cancer Institute, bLaboratory of Molecular Genetics, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and cGenome Analysis Unit, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892 Contributed by Sankar Adhya, September 16, 2009 (sent for review July 14, 2009) Small molecules generally activate or inhibit gene transcription as pathway. Accumulation of this intermediate was known to cause externally added substrates or as internally accumulated end- stress, stop cell growth, and cause cell lysis in complex medium products, respectively. Rarely has a connection been made that (7–9). Using UDP-galactose as an example, we report here (i) links an intracellular intermediary metabolite as a signal of gene that an amphibolic operon is controlled both by the substrate of expression. We report that a perturbation in the critical step of a the pathway and an intermediary product, (ii) how the interme- metabolic pathway—the D-galactose amphibolic pathway— diary metabolite accumulation causes cellular stress and sends changes the dynamics of the pathways leading to accumulation of signals to genetic level, and (iii) how the latter overcomes the the intermediary metabolite UDP-galactose. This accumulation stress to achieve homeostasis. causes cell stress and transduces signals that alter gene expression so as to cope with the stress by restoring balance in the metabolite Results and Discussion pool. This underscores the importance of studying the global D-galactose-Dependent Growth Arrest of gal Mutants.

B1) • There are two major types of beriberi: – Wet beriberi affects the cardiovascular system. – rare in the United States because most foods are now vitamin enriched. – Dry beriberi/Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome affects the nervous system. • Today, beriberi occurs mostly in patients who abuse alcohol. Ethanol interferes with thiamine uptake in the gastrointestinal tract, its storage in the liver and its transformation in the active form (pyrophosphate). Moreover, drinking heavily can lead to poor nutrition and makes it harder to eat. • Beriberi can occur in breast-fed infants when the mother's body is lacking in thiamine. The condition can also affect infants who are fed unusual formulas that don't have enough thiamine. • Getting dialysis and taking high doses of diuretics raise the risk of Beriberi. Dry and wet Beriberi: Symptoms • Symptoms of dry beriberi: affects the nervous system. Wernicke- Korsakoff syndrome is a brain disorder caused by thiamine deficiency that results in a number of neurologic symptoms and can lead to psychosis, confusion and hallucinations. Difficulty walking; loss of feeling in hands and feet; loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs; mental confusion/speech difficulties; pain; strange eye movements (nystagmus); tingling; vomiting • Symptoms of wet beriberi: affects the cardiovascular system; awakening at night short of breath; increased heart rate; shortness of breath with activity; swelling of the lower legs.

  • The Shikimate Pathway, a Hub in Cell Metabolism, for Application in Food, Pharma and Cosmetics
    The ShikiFactory100 project aims towards the production of 100 high- added value compounds from the shikimate pathway, a hub in cell metabolism, for application in food, pharma and cosmetics. To fully comprehend this project and the research activities that it entitles, it is necessary to take a step back and explore some of the key terminology. For example, what do we mean by cell metabolism? What is the shikimate pathway? Or what are amino acids, and what role do they play in living organisms? Cell metabolism refers to the series of reactions occurring within a cell which includes many metabolic pathways that are crosslinked and interrelated to each other. Each metabolic pathway is a chemical transformation that involves several steps. Metabolic pathways can be classified into Metabolic roadmap of eukaryotic cells. Image adapted from catabolic and anabolic, where the ‘Principles of Biochemistry’ 4th edition by D. L. Nelson and M. M. Cox. catabolic group includes all those pathways that break down compounds into smaller units, and the anabolic group gathers the metabolic routes that use small molecules to produce larger compounds. In some cases, certain metabolic pathways involve both catabolic and anabolic reactions, and are known as amphibolic pathways. A well-known catabolic pathway is glycolysis. Organisms use glycolysis to covert 1 equivalent of glucose into 2 equivalents of a smaller molecule, pyruvate, key for the metabolism of cells and organisms. The energy released from this process is conserved as ATP and NADH, but what are those? In living cells, the energy required to power a specific reaction or process can be supplied by different molecules one of them being adenosine triphosphate (ATP); phosphate bonds ‘accumulate’ energy, which is released when the bond is broken.
