Ammonia Production • a) fig11.11, α-Keto/Amino Acid Cycle • α-KG GltDH (–NH4+/NADPH) Glt • fig11.13, ammonia incorporation is stimulated by ATP/GTP • Glt GltDH (+NH4+/NADH) α-KG • fig11.13, ammonia release is stimulated by ADP/GDP • b) fig11.14 – 11.15, Glutamine Cycle • Glt Glt Synthetase (–NH4+/ATP) Gln (carrier of ammonia) • Gln Glt-ase (+NH4+) Glt (ammonia released)
Ammonia Production Release of Amonia by Other Reactions • c) fig11.19, Oxidative Deamination (L-AA) • α-Amino Acid AA Oxidase (–FMN/ +H2O2) α-Imino Acid Deamination (+NH3) α-Keto Acid • D-AA oxidase by intestinal bacteria • d) fig, Non Oxidative Deamination • Serine Ser DH è a-Imino Acid Deamination (+NH3) Pyruvic Acid • e) fig, Amino Desulfhydration • Cystein Cys DS a-Imino Acid Deamination (+NH3) Pyruvic Acid • f) fig, Amino Decarboxylation • · Histidine His Decarboxylase (–CO2) Histamine • · Serine Ser Decarboxylase (–CO2) Ethanolamine • * Ammonia released in kidney is excreted • * Ammonia released in liver can be used to produce urea

Urea Cycle Urea cycle is the mechanism of nitrogen excretion fig11.21, 1 nitrogen form Ammonia and 1 nitrogen from Asp
Reactions of Urea Cycle • fig11.22 – 11.24, synth in liver: • In Mitoch: HCO3– + ATP CPS-ase 1 (+ADP) HCO3–P • HCO3–P + Ammonia CPS-ase 2 (–ATP) Carbomyl Phosphate (1N) • Carbomyl Phspahte (1N) + Ornithine (2N) OTC-lase Citrulline (3N) • In Cyto: Citruline (3N) + Aspartate ASS-tase (–ATP) Argininosuccinate (4N) • Argininosuccinate AS lyase Arginin (4N) + Fumarate (to OA to PEP) • Arginine (4N) Arginase Ornothine (2N) + Urea (2N) • In Cyto: Citruline (3N) + Aspartate ASS-tase (–ATP) Argininosuccinate (4N)
Reactions of Urea Cycle Ammonia (NH4+) is released from Gln Glt can be transferred to Ornithine fig11.23, CPS-ase 1 is activated by Acetyl Glutamate ACoA + Glt è AG S-tase è AG AG S-tase is activated by Arg * Urea transported to kidneys are excreted * but if transported to intestine it will under go bacterial urease releasing ammonia, which returns to liver
Clinical Correlation * Ammonia is very toxic causing decrease in ATP that leads to coma * High ammonia lead to α-KG to form Glt (leave TCA cycle, no energy) * Deficiencies in each enzyme of urea cycle are found and treated by 1. Limit prt intake: decrease AA and increase α-KG in diet acidify colon by Levuloase to decrease AA absorbance use antibiotic to reduce bacterial transamination 2. Remove excess ammonia use compounds that bind to nitrogen and excreted in urine (need CoA/ATP) 3. Replace urea cycle intermediates
Clinical Correlation Metabolic Disorder of urea synthesiscc11.1 Hyperammonemia causes mental retardation due to: 1. Deficiency in CPS can be treated by limiting prt intake (as above) or addition of arg (activates AG S-tase) to activate CPS-ase 2. Deficiency in AG S-tase treated by Carbomyl Glt (analogue of AG) to activate CPS-ase
Clinical Correlation Deficiency of urea cycle enzymescc11.2 Hyperammonemia causes mental retardation due to: 1. Deficiency in Orn T C-lase Most common deficiency and in male more than female Lead to mental retardation & death Carbomyl Phosphate + Asp è orate (orotic acid) 2. Deficiency in Arg S S-tase Lead to citrullinemia, high citrulline in blood & urine Treated with arg (arg => prt => creatine) 3. Deficiency in Arg Lyase Lead to increase of Argininosuccinate in urine Treated with arg (complete the cycle) 4. Deficiency in Arg-ase Rare but cause abnormalities in CNS High arg lead to excretion Treated with EAA, but no arg
