• 50S and 30S associated.
• IF3 binds to 30S, causes release of 50S.
• mRNA, IF2-GTP (ternary complex), fMet-tRNA and IF1 bind 30S.
• IF1 and IF2 are released followed by binding of 50S.
• IF2 hydrolyzes GTP and poises fMet tRNA in the P site.

RF-1 = UAARF-2 = UAA and UGA
Cannot bind if EF-G is present.
RF-3-GTP binds to RF1 after the release of the polypeptide.
Hydrolysis of GTP on RF-3 facilitates the release of RF-1 (or RF-2).
EF-G-GTP and ribosomal recycling factor (RRF)-bind to A site. Release of GDP-RF-3
EF-G hydrolyzes GTP -RRF moves to the P site to displace the tRNA.
RRF and EF-G-GDP are released yielding inactive 70S

Trp is both glucogenic and ketogenic
• Trp is broken down into Ala (pyruvate) and acetoacetate.
• First 4 reactions lead to Ala and 3-hydroxyanthranilate.
• Reactions 5-9 convert 3-hydroxyanthranilate to a-ketoadipate.
• Reactions 10-16 are catalyzed by enzymes of reactions 5 - 11 in Lys degradation to yield acetoacetate.

1. Tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase, 2. Formamidase, 3. Kynurenine-3-monooxygense, 4. kynureninase (PLP dependent)
Kynureinase, another PLP mechanism
• Reaction 4: cleavage of 3-hydroxykynurenine to alanine and 3-hydroxyanthranilate is catalyzed by the PLP dependent enzyme kynureinase.
• This facilitates a C-C bond cleavage. (previous reactions catalyzed the C-H and C-C bond cleavage)
• Follows the same steps as transamination but does not hydrolyze the tautomerized Schiff base.
• Enzyme amino acid acts as a nucleophile tto attack the carbonyl carbon (Cof the tautomerized 3-hydroxykynurenine-PLP Schiff base.

• Enoyl-CoA hydratase
• -hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase
• HMG-CoA synthase
• HMG-CoA lyase
Phe and Tyr are degraded to fumarate and acetoacetate
• The first step in Phe degradation is conversion to Tyr so both amino acids are degraded by the same pathway.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase has biopterin cofactor
• 1st reaction is a hydroxylation reaction by phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), a non-heme-iron containing homotetrameric enzyme.
• Requires O2, FeII, and biopterin a pterin derivative.• Pterins have a pteridine ring (similar to flavins)• Folate derivatives (THF) also contain pterin rings.

nucleus of biopterin and
folate.

Active BH4 must be regenerated
• Active form in PAH is 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)• Produced from 7,8-dihydrobiopterin via dihydrofolate
reductase (NADPH dependent).• 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin is hydroxylated to pterin-4a-
cabinolamine by phenylalanine hydroxylase.• pterin-4a-cabinolamine is converted to 7,8-
dihydrobiopterin (quinoid form) by pterin-4a-carbinoline dehydratase
• 7,8-dihydrobiopterin (quinoid form) is reduced by dihydropteridine reductase to regenerate the active cofactor.

NIH shift
• A 3H that starts on C4 of Phe’s ring ends up on C3 of Tyr’s ring rather than being lost to solvent.
• Mechanism is called the NIH shift• 1st characterized by scientists at NIH
1 and 2: activation of the enzyme’s BH4 and Fe(II) cofactors to yield pterin-4a-carbinolamine and a reactive oxyferryl [Fe(IV)=O2-]
3: Fe(IV)=O2- reacts with Phe to form an epoxide across the 3,4 bond.
4: epoxide opening to form carbocation at C3
5: migration of hydride from C4 to C3 to form more stable carbocation.
6: ring aromatization to form Tyr
Phe and Tyr are degraded to fumarate and acetoacetate
• The first step in Phe degradation is conversion to Tyr so both amino acids are degraded by the same pathway.
• 6 reactions• Reaction 1 = 1st NIH shift• Reaction 3 is also an example of NIH shift (26-31)

Amino acid biosynthesis
• Essential amino acids - amino acids that can only be synthesized in plants and microorganisms.
• Nonessential amino acids - amino acids that can be synthesized in mammals from common intermediates.

Nonessential amino acid biosynthesis
• Except for Tyr, pathways are simple• Derived from pyruvate, oxaloacetate, -ketoglutarate, and 3-
phosphoglycerate.• Tyrosine is misclassified as nonessential since it is derived
from the essential amino acid, Phe.
Glutamate biosynthesis
• Glu synthesized by Glutamate synthase.• Occurs only in microorganisms, plants, and lower animals.• Converts -ketoglutarate and ammonia from glutamine to
glutamate.• Reductive amination requires electrons from either NADPH or
ferredoxin (organism dependent).• NADPH-dependent glutamine synthase from Azospirillum
brasilense is the best characterized enzyme.• Heterotetramer (22) with FAD, 2[4Fe-4S] clusters on the
subunit and FMN and [3Fe-4S] cluster on the subunit• NADPH + H+ + glutamine + -ketoglutarate 2 glutamate + NADP+

1. Electrons are transferred from NADPH to FAD at active site 1 on the subunit to yield FADH2.
2. Electrons transferred from FADH2 to FMN on site 2 to yield FMNH2.
3. Gln is hydrolyzed to -glutamate and ammonia on site 3 of the subunit.
4. Ammonia is transferred to site 2 to form -iminoglutarate from -KG
5. -iminoglutarate is reduced by FMNH2 to form glutamate.

Structural role for the passage of ammonia.
Ala, Asn, Asp, Glu, and Gln are synthesized from pyruvate,
oxaloacetate, and -ketoglutarate
• Pyruvate is the precursor to Ala• Oxaloacetate is the precursor to Asp -ketoglutarate is the precursor to Glu• Asn and Gln are synthesized from Asp and Glu by amidation.

Figure 26-54The syntheses of alanine, aspartate, glutamate,
asparagine, and glutamine.
Gln and Asn synthetases
• Glutamine synthetase catalyzes the formation of glutamine in an ATP dependent manner (ATP to ADP + Pi).
• Makes glutamylphosphate intermediate.• NH4
+ is the amino group donor.• Asparagine synthetase uses glutamine as the amino donor.• Hydrolyzes ATP to AMP + PPi
Glutamine synthetase is a central control point in nitrogen
metabolism• Gln is an amino donor for many biosynthetic products and
also a storage compound for excess ammonia.• Mammalian glutamine synthetase is activated by
ketoglutarate.• Bacterial glutamine synthetase has more complicated
regulation.• 12 identical subunits, 469-aa, D6 symmetry.• Regulated by different effectors and covalent modification.

Glutamine synthetase regulation
• 9 feedback inhibitors control the activity of bacterial glutamine synthetase
• His, Trp, carbamoyl phosphate, glucosamine-6-phosphate, AMP and CTP-pathways leading away from Gln
• Ala, Ser, Gly-reflect cell’s N level• Ala, Ser, Gly, are competitive with Glu for the binding site.• AMP and CTP are competitive with the ATP binding site.
Glutamine synthetase regulation
• E. coli glutmine synthetase is covalently modified by adenylation of a Tyr.
• Increases susceptiblity to feedback inhibition and decreases activity dependent on adenylation.
• Adenylation and deadenylation are catalyzed by adenylyltransferase in complex with a tetrameric regulatory protein, PII.
• Adensyltransferase deadenylates glutamine synthetase when PII is uridylated.
• Adenylates glutamine synthetase when PII lacks UM residues.• PII uridylation depends on the activities of a uridylyltransferase and
uridylyl-removing enzyme that hydrolyzes uridylyl groups.
Glutamine synthetase regulation
• Uridylyltransferase is activated by -ketoglutarate and ATP.
• Uridylyltransferase is inhibited by glutamine and P i.• Uridylyl-removing enzyme is insensitive to these
compounds.
