Amino acids are obtained from the diet when proteins are digested.
In the cell, proteins are degraded to amino acids because of damage or for regulatory purposes.
The first priority for use of amino acids is as precursors for proteins or other biomolecules.
Amino acids are not stored, so any excess amino acids are degraded.

Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to form NH4
+.
Aminotransferases (transaminases) transfer amino groups from an amino acid to α‐ketoglutarate to generate glutamate.
![Page 6: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase typify these enzymes.
Glutamate dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial enzyme, releases NH4+ in the oxidative
deamination of glutamate.

The coupled reactions of aminotransferases and glutamate dehydrogenase are
In terrestrial vertebrates, the ultimate fate of the NH4+ is the formation of
urea.
Some amino acids can be directly deaminated.

Muscle uses branched‐chain amino acids as fuels. The nitrogen from these amino acids is transported to the liver by the glucose‐alanine cycle.
Nitrogen can also be transported as glutamine formed from glutamate by glutamine synthetase.

Excess NH4+ is converted into urea by the urea cycle.
Organisms that excrete excess NH4+ as urea are called ureotelic
organisms.
In humans, the urea cycle occurs in the liver.
![Page 12: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The first step in the urea cycle is the coupling of ammonia with bicarbonate.
This reaction, which occurs in the mitochondria, is catalyzed by carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS I).
The synthetase requires N‐acetylglutamate for activity.
![Page 14: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The carbamoyl group is transferred to ornithine by ornithine transcarbamolyase to form citrulline. Citrulline is transported out of the mitochondria into the cytoplasm in exchange for ornithine.
![Page 15: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In the cytoplasm, citrulline condenses with aspartate, the donor of the second nitrogen of urea, to form arginosuccinate in a reaction catalyzed by arginosuccinate synthetase.
![Page 16: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Argininosuccinate is cleaved into arginine and fumarate by argininosuccinase.
Arginine is cleaved by arginase into urea, which is excreted, and ornithine, which is transported into the mitochondria.
![Page 17: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The stoichiometry of the urea cycle is:
Fumarate can be converted into oxaloacetate by the citric acid cycle and then into glucose by gluconeogenic pathway.

The liver is the site of urea synthesis. Defects in any of the urea cycle enzymes result in elevated levels of NH4
+ in the blood. Elevated blood NH4+ causes nervous system
malfunction and can be lethal.
Liver damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption can be fatal in part because the liver is unable to synthesize urea and consequently NH4
+ appears in the blood.

Hibernating bears produce urea to dispose of excess nitrogen. However, the urea makes its way into the intestine rather than being excreted.
Intestinal bacteria hydrolyze the urea to use the nitrogen in the synthesis of amino acids for their on biosynthetic needs.
When the bacteria die, the amino acids are absorbed by the bear and used for biosynthesis.

While ureotelic organisms excrete excess nitrogen as urea, ammoniotelic organisms, such as aquatic animals, simply excrete NH4
+.
Uricotelic organisms, such as birds, secrete excess nitrogen uric acid, a purine.
![Page 24: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The carbon skeletons of the amino acids are metabolized to seven major metabolic intermediates: pyruvate, acetyl CoA, acetoacetyl CoA, α‐ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, fumarate, and oxaloacetate.
Amino acids metabolized to acetyl CoA and acetoacetyl CoA are called ketogenic amino acids because they can form fats but not glucose.
Amino acids degraded to the remaining major intermediates are called gluconeogenic amino acids because they can be used to synthesize glucose.
Only leucine and lysine are solely ketogenic.

Alanine and serine are easily converted into pyruvate by the action of alanine aminotransferase and serine dehydratase, respectively.
Other amino acids require more complicated pathways to form pyruvate.

Aspartate is converted into oxaloacetate by a transamination reaction catalyzed by aspartate aminotransferase.
Asparaginase hydrolyzes asparagine to NH4+ and aspartate, which is converted
into oxaloacetate.
![Page 29: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Glutamate is deaminated to form α‐ketoglutarate.
Histidine is converted into α‐ketoglutarate in a reaction sequence that requires the coenzyme tetrahydrofolate.
Glutamine is hydrolyzed by glutaminase to form glutamate.
Proline and arginine are converted into glutamate γ‐semialdehyde and then to glutamate.

The branched‐chain amino acids—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—are converted into acetyl CoA and acetoacetyl CoA using reactions similar to those of the citric acid cycle and fatty acid oxidation.
The branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase complex, which is similar to the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, processes these amino acids to form isovaleryl CoA.

The aromatic amino acids require monooxygenases (mixed‐function oxygenases) for degradation.
Monooxygenase use O2 as a substrate and incorporate one oxygen atom into the product and one into water.
The monooxygenase phenylalanine hydroxylase converts phenylalanine into tyrosine with the assistance of the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin.
![Page 38: Biochemistry: A Short Course - KOCWcontents.kocw.net/KOCW/document/2014/korea/leejinhyup/15.pdf · Amino groups from amino acids are funneled to glutamate, which is deaminated to](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052718/5f0489817e708231d40e7607/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Tetrahydrobiopterin is regenerated with NADH. The sum of the reactions for the conversion of phenylalanine into tyrosine and the regeneration of tetrahydrobiopterin is:
Tyrosine is metabolized to fumarate and acetoacetate.
Tryptophan degradation requires both monooxygenase and dioxygenase enzymes to metabolize the amino acid to acetoacetate.
Dioxygenases, which incorporate both atoms of O2 into the product, are used to cleave aromatic rings.
