Nucleic acids
• Nucleic acids are linear polymers of nucleotides– Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)– Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
![Page 3: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Nucleotides
• Nucleotides are phosphate esters of a pentose (ribose or deoxyribose) in which a purine or pyrimidine base is linked to C1’ of the sugar

Overview of de novo synthesis of purine ribonucleotides
• Purines are initially formed as ribonucleotides rather than as free bases
1. The initial synthesized purine derivative is inosine monophosphate (IMP)
2. IMP is the precursor of both AMP and GMP
![Page 12: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Synthesis of inosine monophosphate (IMP)
• IMP is synthesized in a pathway composed of 11 reactions
• Starting material is -D-ribose-5-phosphate, a product of the pentose phosphate pathway

• In bacteria, the enzymes of IMP biosynthesis occur as independent proteins.
• In animals, single polypeptides catalyze– Reaction 3, 4, and 6– Reaction 7, 8– Reaction 10, 11– The intermediate products of these multifunctio
nal enzymes are not readily released to the medium but are channeled to the succeeding enzymatic activities of the pahtway.
![Page 26: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Synthesis of guanine and adenine ribonucleotides
• Inosine monophosphate (IMP) does not accumulate in the cell but rapidly converted to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in different two-reaction pathways
![Page 27: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

![Page 34: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Regulation of purine ribonucleotide biosynthesis
• The pathways synthesizing IMP, ATP, and GTP are individually regulated in most cells so as to control the total amounts of purine nucleotides for nucleic acid synthesis, as well as the relative amount of ATP and GTP.

Salvage of purines
• In most cells, the turnover of nucleic acids releases adenine, guanine, and hypoxanthine. These free purines are reconverted to their corresponding nucleotides through salvage pathways.
• Salvage pathways are diverse in character and distribution. In mammals, purines are mostly salvage by the different enzymes.
![Page 37: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

• Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) catalyzes the analogous reaction for both hypoxanthine and guanine.
Hypoxanthine + PRPP IMP + PPi
Guanine + PRPP G MP + PPi

![Page 42: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Synthesis of uridine monophosphate
• Uridine monophosphate (UMP) is synthesized in a six-reaction pathway
• In contrast to purine nucleotide synthesis, pyrimidine ring is coupled to the ribose-5-phosphate moiety after the ring has been synthesized
![Page 43: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

• In bacteria, the six enzymes of UMP biosynthesis occur as independent proteins.
• In animals– Enzymatic activity of the reaction 1, 2, and 3 oc
cur in a single 210 kD polypeptide chain.– Reaction 5 and 6 are catalyzed by a single poly
peptide.– The intermediate products are channeled to the
succeeding enzymatic activities of the pathway.

Synthesis of UTP and CTP
• The synthesis of UTP from UMP occurs by the sequential actions of a nucleoside monophosphate kinase and nucleoside diphosphate kinase:
UMP + ATP UDP + ADP
UDP + ATP UTP + ADP
![Page 51: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• CTP is form by amination of UTP by CTP synthethase.
![Page 52: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• In animals, the amino group is donated by glutamine, whereas in bacteria it is supplied by ammonia.

Formation of deoxyribonucleotides
![Page 56: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Ribonucleotide & deoxyribonucleotide
• DNA differs from RNA in two respects:
1. Its nucleotides contain 2’-deoxyribose residue rather than ribose residues, and
2. It contains the base thymine (5-methyluracil) rather than uracil.
![Page 57: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Production of deoxyribose residues
• Deoxyribonucleotides are synthesized from their corresponding ribonucleotides by the reduction of their C2’ position using the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase rather than by their de novo synthesis from deoxyribose-containing precursors.
![Page 58: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

• The final step in the production of all dNTPs is the phosphorylation of the corresponding dNDPs.
• The reaction is catalyzed by nucleoside diphosphate kinase (as in phosphorylation of NDPs).
![Page 60: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
dADP + ATP dATP + ADP
dGDP + ATP dGTP + ADP
dCDP + ATP dCTP + ADP
dUDP + ATP dUTP + ADP
NTP or dNTP can function as the phosphoryl donor
![Page 61: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Origin of thymine
• dUMP is generated through the hydrolysis of dUTP by dUTP diphosphohydrolase (dUTPase):
dUTP + H2O dUMP + PPi
![Page 62: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
• Thymidylate (dTMP) is synthesized from dUMP by thymidylate synthase with N5, N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate as methyl donor.
![Page 63: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
• dTMP, once it is formed, is phosphorylated to form dTTP.
dTDP + ATP dTTP + ADP
dTMP + ATP dTDP + ADP
![Page 64: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• The apparent reason for the energetically wasteful process of dephosphorylating dUTP and rephosphorylating dTMP is that cells must minimize their concentration of dUTP in order to prevent incorporation of uracil into their DNA.
![Page 65: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

• A deficiency of any dNTPs is lethal, whereas an excess is mutagenesis because the probability that a given dNTPs will be errornously incorporated into a growing DNA strand increase with its concentration relative to those of the other dNTPs.
![Page 67: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Nucleotide degradation
![Page 69: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Overview of nucleotide degradation
• Dietary nucleic acids are degraded to nucleotides mainly in intestine by pancreatic nucleases and intestinal phosphodiesterases.
• Nucleotides are hydrolyzed to nucleosides by a variety of group-specific nucleotidases and nonspecific phosphatases.
![Page 70: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
• Nucleosides may be directly absorbed by the intestinal mucosa or further degraded to free bases and ribose or ribose-1-phosphate through the action of nucleosidases and nucleoside phosphorylases
Nucleoside + H2O base + ribose
Nucleoside + Pi - -base + ribose 1 P
![Page 71: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
• Radioactive labeling experiments have demonstrated that only a small fraction of the bases of ingested nucleic acid are incorporated into tissue nucleic acids.
• Ingested bases are mostly degraded and excreted.
• Cellular nucleic acids are also subjected to degradation as part of the continual turnover of nearly all cellular component.
![Page 72: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Catabolism of purines
• All catabolism pathways of purine nucleotides and purine deoxynucleotides lead to uric acid.
• Pathway intermediates may be directed into purine nucleotide synthesis via salvage reactions.

• Adenosine and deoxyadenosine are not degraded by mammalian purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP).
• Rather adenine nucleosides and nucleotides are deaminated by adenosine deaminase (ADA) and AMP deaminase to their corresponding inosine derivatives.

Gout (excess of uric acid)
• Caused by deposition of crystals of sodium urate.
• Painful arthritis, joint inflammation of sudden onset, most often in big toe.
• May precipitate in the kidneys and ureters as stones, resulting in renal damage and urinary tract obstruction.
![Page 86: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
• The most prevalent cause of gout is impaired uric acid excretion.
• Gout may also result from a number of metabolic insufficiencies (eg. HGPRT deficiency)
• Gout can be treated by the xanthine oxidase inhibitor, allopurinol. The product, alloxanthine, remain tightly bound to the reduce form of the enzyme.

Fate of uric acid
• In human and other primates, the final product of purine degradation is uric acid, which is excreted in the urine.
• The same is true for birds, terrestrial reptiles, and many insects.– These organism also catabolize their excess ami
no acid nitrogen to uric acid via purine biosynthesis.

Catabolism of pyrimidines
• Animal cells degrade pyrimidine nucleotides to their component bases.
• These reactions, like those in purine nucleotides, occur through dephosphorylation, deamination, and glycosidic bond cleavages.
![Page 95: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)

• The resulting uracil and thymine are then broken down in the liver through reduction rather than by oxidation as occurs in purine catabolism.
![Page 97: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)

• The end products of pyrimidine catabolism, beta-alanine and beta-aminoisobutyrate, are amino acids and are metabolized as such.
• They are converted, through transamination and activation reactions, to malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA
![Page 99: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)

• Malonyl-CoA is a precursor of fatty acid synthesis, and methylmalonyl-CoA is converted to the citric acid cycle intermediate succinyl-CoA.
• Catabolism of pyrimidine nucleotides contributes to the energy metabolism of the cell.

Synthesis of purine ribonucleotides
• The purine nucleotide IMP is synthesized in 11 steps from ribose-5-phosphate, aspartate, fumarate, glutamine, glycine, and HCO3
-.
• IMP synthesis is regulated at its first and second steps.
• IMP is the precursor of AMP and GMP, which are phosphorylated to produce the corresponding di- and triphosphates.

Synthesis of pyrimidine ribonucleotides
• Pyrimidine nucleotide UMP is synthesized from 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate, aspartate, glutamine, and HCO3- in six reactions.
• UMP is converted to UTP and CTP by phosphorylation and amination.
• Biosynthesis is regulated in bacteria at the ATCase step and in animals at the step catalyzed by carbamoyl phosphate synthetase II

Formation of deoxyribonucleotides
• Deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates are synthesized from corresponding NDP by the action of ribonucleotide reductase.
• dTMP is synthesized from dUMP by thymidine synthase.
![Page 105: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Nucleotide degradation
• Purine nucleotides are degraded by nucleosidases and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP).
• Adenine nucleotides are deaminated by adenosine deaminase and AMP deaminase.
• The synthesis and degradation of AMP in the purine nucleotide cycle yield the citric acid cycle intermediate fumarate in muscles.
![Page 106: NucleotideMetabolism-2552](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042713/5466a785b4af9ffd748b4854/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
• Xanthine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxantine to xanthine and of xanthine to uric acid.
• In humans, the ultimate product of purine degradation is uric acid, which is excreted. Other organisms degrade urate further.
• Pyrimidines are broken down to intermediates of fatty acid metabolism.
