  1. SHIKIMIC ACID PATHWAY

  2. THE SHIKIMIC ACID PATHWAY This pathway (unique to plants) leads to the formation of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine and to the formation of many other phenyl-C3 compounds. Phenylpropanoids Phenyl-C3 Cleavage of the C3 side chain leads to many phenyl-C1 compounds. Phenyl-C1

  3. GLUCOSE ORIGINS OF THE SHIKIMIC ACID PATHWAY pentose phosphate pathway glycolysis Erythrose-4-phosphate PEP Phosphoenol pyruvate The pentose phosphate pathway is one that converts glucose into sugars of different sizes (different numbers of C) by acyl interchanges. Erythrose is a 4-carbon sugar. Acetyl-CoA Shikimic Acid

  4. FORMATION OF SHIKIMIC ACID phosphoenol pyruvate B: H+ erythrose-4-phosphate H+ H+ NADPH shikimic acid

  5. FORMATION OF CHORISMIC ACID hydrolysis of PEP ATP H+ shikimic acid pyruvic acid nucleophilic addition to C=O :B - H3PO4 - H2O chorismic acid

  6. PREPHENIC ACID chorismic acid Claisen Type Rearrangement prephenic acid pseudoaxial conformation Prephenic acid can be converted to phenylpyruvic acid or to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid: NADPH NADP+ p-hydroxy- phenylpyruvic acid phenypyruvic acid -H- -OH -H+ - CO2 -H+ - CO2 phenylalanine tyrosine

  7. CLAISEN REARRANGEMENT A THERMAL REARRANGEMENT H+ heat enolization an allyl ether an allyl phenol

  8. PREPHENIC ACID TO PHENYLALANINE :B-Enz - CO2 phenylpyruvic acid - H2O prephenic acid H+ transamination phenylalanine

  9. PREPHENIC ACID TO TYROSINE :B-Enz - CO2 4-hydroxyphenyl- pyruvic acid NAD+ prephenic acid transamination hydride transfer to NAD+ tyrosine

  10. PHENYLALANINE AND TYROSINE COME FROM A COMMON SOURCE AND ARE NOT CONVERTED PREPHENIC ACID phenylpyruvic acid 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid X tyrosine phenylalanine Although most plants could convert phenylalanine to tyrosine using hydroxylases, this conversion is a minor pathway. Most plants make enough tyrosine without converting phenylalanine.

  22. FLAVONOIDS Plant Pigments

  23. PLANT PIGMENTS Flavonoids and anthocyanins are conspicuous plant pigments in nature that are responsible for the beauty and splendor of flowers, fruits, fruit tree blossoms and of the autumn leaves. Flavones are responsible for the yellow and orange colors; and the anthocyanins are the source of red, violet and blue colors. These compounds occur mainly in higher plants and are less common in the lower orders. You don’t find them in algae, fungi or bacteria. The flavonoids play a major role in attracting insects to feed and pollinate these plants. Some of them also have a bitter taste and repel harmful insects like caterpillars. Flavonoids are thought to be antioxidants, and play a major role in our diet, preventing the ravages of aging caused by free-radicals. These compound have their biosynthetic origin in both the skimic acid pathway and the acetogenin pathway - they are of hybrid origin.
