Nucleic Acid Metabolism
• Nucleotides• Essential for all cells• Carriers of activated intermediates in carbohydrate, lipids
and proteins• CoA• FAD• NAD• NADP
• Energy Carriers• ATP
• Inhibiting or activating enzymes• DNA• RNA
Nucleotide Structure
• Ribose Sugar• Ribose
• Deoxyribose
• Base• Purines
• Pyrimidines
• Nucleoside• Base plus sugar
• Nucleotide• E.g., AMP, ADP, ATP
Nomenclature
• DNA Purine Bases• Adenine• Guanine
• Purine Nucleosides• Adenosine • Guanosine
• DNA Nucleotides (Purine)• dAMP (deoxyadenylate)• dGMP (deoxyguanylate)
• RNA Nucleotides (Purine)• Adenylate (AMP)• Guanylate (GMP)
Nomenclature
• DNA Pyrimidine Bases• Thymine• Cytosine (Also RNA)
• DNA Pyrimidine Nucelosides• Thymidine• Cytidine
• DNA Pyrimidine Nucleotides• (dTMP) deoxythymidylate• (dCMP) deoxycytidylate
• RNA Pyrimidine Nucleotides• (CMP) cytidylate• (UMP) uridylate
Biosynthesis•Two ways by which nucleotides can be synthesized
•Denovo Pathway
•Salvage Pathway
•Denovo synthesis of nucleotides begins with their metabolic
precursors: Amino Acids; R5P; CO2; NH3
•Salvage Pathway recycles the free bases and nucleosides
released from nucleic acid breakdown
PRPP 5-Phosphoribosyl 1-Pyrophosphate
•Activation of the ribose sugar component
•HMP
•ATP Required
•Mg2+
•Pi activates and nucleosides inhibit
Purine Biosynthesis• IMP (Inosine Monophosphate)
• Precursor to• GMP and AMP
• Utilizes (Substrates)• One Glycine
• NH3 of Glutamine
• Folate (N10-formyl-THF)
• CO2
• ATP’s (Six : Till IMP Synthesis)
• Mg2+, K+, Mn2+
• (Aspartate) + GTP {AMP Synthesis}
• NH3 of Glutamine + ATP (2 Equivalent) {GMP Synthesis}

IMP Pathway
• Utilizes (Substrates)• One Glycine
• NH3 of Glutamine
• NH3 of Aspartate
• Formyl of Folate (N10-formyl-THF)
• CO2
• ATP’s (Six : Till IMP Synthesis)
• Mg2+, K+, Mn2+
IMP Pathway
IMP to AMP and GMP
• AMP production
• Aspartate
• GTP
• GMP production
• Glutamine
• NAD
• ATP (Equivalent to two)
AMP and GMP Pathway
Regulation
• Four major feedback mechanisms cooperate in regulating the overall rate of de novo purine nucleotide synthesis and the relative rates of formation of the two end products, adenylate and guanylate
• First is the transfer of an amino group to PRPP to form5-phosphoribosylamine by glutamine-PRPP amidotransferase
• Inhibited by the end products IMP, AMP, and GMP
• AMP and GMP act synergistically in this concerted inhibition
Regulation
• Second control by an excess of GMP in the cell inhibits formation of xanthylate from inosinate by IMP dehydrogenase, without affecting the formation of AMP. And also, Adenylate inhibits formation of adenylosuccinate by adenylosuccinate synthetase, without affecting the biosynthesis of GMP
• Third a reciprocal arrangement between ATP/GTP that tends to balance the synthesis of the two ribonucleotides
• Fourth and the final control mechanism is the inhibition of PRPP synthesis by the allosteric regulation of ribose phosphate pyrophosphokinase by ADP and GDP
Regulation
• PRPP amidotransferase is rate limiting• Inhibited by AMP and GMP
