Metabolic Breakdown of Individual Amino Acids to Citric Acid Cycle Intermediates or their Precursors
Glucogenic Pyruvate – a-Ketoglutarate Succinyl-CoA Fumarate Oxaloacetate Ketogenic Acetyl-CoA Acetoacetate Products of Amino Acid Breakdown
Animals cannot carryout net synthesis of precursors of gluconeogenesis from acetyl-CoA or acetoacetate
Conversion of Pyruvate and Oxaloacetate to PEP(Gluconeogenesis)
Degradation to Pyruvate Alanine, Cysteine, Glycine, Serine and Threonine
Cysteine (Various Routes)
Glycine —> Serine Serine Hydroxymethyl Transferase
Threonine —> Serine Serine Hydroxymethyl Transferase (PLP and C–C Bond Cleavage)
Source ofN5, N10-Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Glycine Cleavage System Glycine Decarboxylase Multienzyme Complex or Glycine Synthase (reverse direction)
Glycine Cleavage System • P-Protein: PLP-dependent glycine decarboxylase • H-Protein: lipoamide-containing protein • T-Protein: THF-requiring enzyme • L-Protein: NAD+-dependent FAD-requiring dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
Glycine Cleavage System (Formation of Glycine-PLP Schiff Base)
Glycine Cleavage System(Decarboxylation and Transfer of 1-Carbon Unit)
Elimination of Water from Serine Serine Dehydratase
Degradation to Oxaloacetate Asparagine and Aspartate
Degradation to a-Ketoglutarate Arginine, Glutamate, Glutamine, Histidine and Proline
