PROTEIN METABOLISM

Protein Catabolism Amino Acids Metabolism

Amino Acids Catabolism Amino Acids Biosynthesis Specialized Products

Protein Anabolism Replication Transcription Translation

Metabolism = Catabolism + Anabolism 

Metabolism consists of catabolism and anabolism

Catabolism: degradative pathways Usually energy-yielding!

Anabolism: biosynthetic pathways energy-requiring!

THE FUNCTION OF PROTEIN

ENZYME HORMONE TRANSPORT OF COMPOUND IN

BLOOD ACID-BASE BALANCE WATER BALANCE ANTIBODY STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF CELL

Digestion

The process whereby nutritive

substances , vitamins,minerals and fluids enter the body.

Proteins are broken down to absorbable units

The passage across the intestinal

wall is absorption

PROTEIN DIGESTION

PROTEIN DIGESTION AND ABSORBTION

NITROGEN BALANCE Nitrogen balance =

nitrogen ingested - nitrogen excreted

(primarily as protein) (primarily as urea) Nitrogen balance = 0 (nitrogen equilibrium)

protein synthesis = protein degradation Positive nitrogen balance

protein synthesis > protein degradation Negative nitrogen balance

protein synthesis < protein degradation

Amino Acid Metabolism 

Metabolism of the 20 common amino acids is  considered from the origins and fates of their:   (1) Nitrogen atoms   (2) Carbon skeletons

AMINO ACIDS METABOLISM

Amino Acids Metabolism Amino Acids Catabolism

Nitrogen atoms catabolism Transamination reactions Oxidative deamination reactions NH3 production and Transport Urea cycle and disorders

Carbon skeletons catabolism Amino Acids Biosynthesis Specialized Product

Three sources of amino acids for degradation in animals :   During normal synthesis and breakdown

of proteins, some amino acids are no longer needed.

When diet exceeds the body’s need for amino acids.

Proteins can be degraded and used as fuel to maintain the organism.

NITROGEN ATOMS CATABOLISM

Transamination reactions Oxidative Deamination reactions Amonia (NH3) production and transport Urea cycle

The different forms of excreted nitrogen

•Ureotelic (mammals) : urea

•Uricotelic (birds, reptiles) : uric acid

  •Ammonotelic (fish) : ammonia

AMINO ACIDS DEGRADATION :

Transamination Reactions 

Often the first step of amino acid degradation

Transfer of amino group from many amino acids to limited number of keto acid acceptors Pyruvate <-> alanine Alpha-keto-glutarate <-> glutamate Transamination reactions tend to channel amino

groups on to glutamate Glutamate’s central role in amino acid N metabolism

TRANSAMINATION

TRANSAMINASE ENZYME :

1. alanin transferase (alanin-piruvat

transaminase)

2. glutamat transaminase (glutamat-alfa

ketoglutarat transaminase)

COENZYME :

Piridoksal fosfat

Deamination Reactions  ENZYME : Glutamate dehydrogenase

Releases ammonia for urea synthesis It is one of the few enzymes that can use

NAD+ or NADP+ as e- acceptor.    Enzyme inhibitor : ATP, GTP, NADH Enzyme activator : ADP, GDP Enzyme for regulator nitrogen atoms

Detoxification of Ammonia by the Liver: the Urea Cycle 

Amino acid flow from muscle to liver Transfers N to urea Liver very effective at eliminating

ammonia from blood

Urea Cycle

Enzymes in mitochondria: 1. Ornithine Transcarbamoylase Enzymes in cytosol: 2. Arginino-Succinate Synthetase 3. Arginino-succinase 4. Arginase.

UREA FORMATION

Urea Formation Occurs primarily in liver; excreted by kidney Principal method for removing ammonia Hyperammonemia:

Defects in urea cycle enzymes (CPS, OTC, etc.)

Severe neurological defects in neonates

Treatment: Stop protein intake Dialysis Increase ammonia excretion: Na benzoate etc.

UREA CYCLE :

Hereditary deficiency of any of the Urea Cycle enzymes leads to hyperammonemia - elevated [ammonia] in blood. Total lack of any Urea Cycle enzyme is lethal. Elevated ammonia is toxic, especially to the brain. If not treated immediately after birth, severe mental retardation results.

UREA CYCLE DISORDERS

DISORDERS OF UREA CYCLE :

UCD Enzyme deficiency

Hyperammonaemia type I 1 Hyperammonaemia type II 2 Citrulinemia

3 Arginino succinat aciduria 4 Hyperargininaemia 5

Resolution of Clinical Case: Genetics 

Gene for OTC found on X-chromosome Women are carriers

usually asymptomatic may experience migraines, vomiting,

lethargy when eating high protein meals (meat)

OTC deficiency most common (but rare) disorders of the urea cycle (1: 20-80,000)
