1 Nucleotide metabolism

2 Roles of nuclotides energy storage (central role of ) nucleotide units for RNA, DNA synthesis components of cofactors (NAD, FAD) intracellular second messengers (camp, cgmp) synthesis of activated intermediates (UDP - glucose, CDP - choline, CDP - diacylglycerol, GDP - mannose) allosteric effectors

3 General characteristics of nucleotides Lactam-lactim tautomerism In physiological condition the lactam form is oftener Low water solubility is characterictic for purine nucleotides (xanthine, guanine, uric-acid) on acidic ph it is even worse (!!! gout) Sythesis and degradation is different in tissues possible therapic solutions (tumor therapy) Structure: nucleobase + five-carbon sugar + phosphate

4 Genesis of mononucleotides de novo sythesis: from amino acids, C1-parts, CO 2, ribose, phosphate From nucleotides absorbed and degradated in the gastrointestinalis system they don t discover the nucleotide needs From degradation in tissues by nucleosidase

5 Purine nucleotides Adenine Guanine Purine nucleotides: adenine, guanine Synthesis: ribose IMP (PRPP-sythase) and GTP formation Regulation of synthesis (when there are enough end product, synthesis is unnecessary): AMP, GMP, IMP feedback effect, regulation of PRPP-sythase and PRPP-amidotransferase enzymes, AMP and GMP synthesis regulation

6 De novo synthesis of purine nucleotides Phosphoribosyl glycinamide formyltransferase P-Ribose PRPP Synthetase PRPP Amidophosphoribosyl transferase Phosphoribosyl amine Phosphoribosyl glycinamide synthetase Glycinamide ribonucleotide N 10 -Formyl THF THF 5-aminoimidazole 4-carboxylate ribonucleotide Phosphoribosyl aminoimidazole carboxylase Phosphoribosyl aminoimidazole succinocarboxamide synthetase 5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide Phosphoribosyl aminoimidazole synthetase N 10 -Formyl THF Formylglycinamidine ribonucleotide Phosphoribosyl formylglycinamidine synthetase Formylglycinamide ribonucleotide THF 5-aminoimidazole 4-Nsuccinocarboxamide ribonucleotide Adenylosuccinate lyase 5-aminoimidazole 4-carboxamide ribonucleotide Phosphoribosyl aminoimidazole carboxamide formyltransferase 5-Formamidoimidazole 4-carboxamide ribonucleotide IMP cyclohydrolase IMP

7 and GTP formation from IMP Purine de novo synthesis GDP GTP IMP NAD IMP dehydrogenase Adenylo succinate synthase NADH Adenylo succinate Adenylo succinate lyase AMP +PP AMP Adenylate kinase ADP ADP Adenylate kinase ADP XMP GMP synthase GMP Nucleoside monophosphate kinase GDP Nucleoside diphosphate kinase GTP

8 Degradation of purin bases

9 Salvage mechanisms 1. A purinebases and nucleosides can transform to mononucleotides, purinebases will be recycled. (Enzymes: adenine-phosphoribosile transferase, HGPRT.) It is characteristic for the polimorfonuclear cells. Salvage mechanisms inactivate de novo nucleotide synthesis. 2. Purin ribonucleosides (adenosine, guanosine) are phosphorilated by AMP, GMP is formed. (Kinase activates this step.) Erythrocytes, brain immun cells can t do de novo purne synthesis. Exogene nucleoside uptake.

10 Uric acid solubility is decreased when uric acid level increases, it deposes in organism keto-enol tautomerism advantage: antioxidant (in other mammal it is degraded by urokinase, allantion is formed, which has a good water solubility)

11 Hyperuricaemia (abnormally high level Primary: of uric acid in the blood), gout 1. Idiopathic 2. Enzyme defects: -HGPRTdeficiency -ribose-p-diphosphokinase -adenophosphoribosil-transferase 3. Decreased renal excretion of uric acid Secundary: Increased purin katabolism and turnover 1.Myeloproliferative disorders 2.Lymphoproliferative disorders 3. Carcinoma and sarcoma 4. Chronic hemolitic anemia 5. Citotoxic drugs 6. Psoriasis Decreased renal excretion of uric acid 1. Intrinsic renal disease 2. Functional disorders of tubular transport: drugs, increased lactate level, hyperketoacidaemia, diabetes insipidus, Bartter-sydrome

12 Urate crystals deposite in joints (tophus formation gout), in kidneys (kidney stone). Sympthoms are getting worse on purine-rich diet, in excessive cell damage. Therapy: allopurinol inhibits the xanthineoxidase inhibits the last step of uric acid synthesis and the de novo purine synthesis.

13 Pyrimidin nucleotides Cytosine Thymine Uracil Pyrimidine nucleotides: cytosine, thymine, uracil. Synthesis: Asp, Gln, CO2 + activated ribose-phosphate dihydro-orotate in mitochondrion orotate UMP UDP UTP CTP TTP Regulation of synthesis: UMP, UTP, CTP feedback mechanisms, enzyme regulations

14 Synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotide Carbamoyl phosphate Synthetase II Aspartate transcarbamoylase Dihydroorotase 2 Carbamoyl phosphate Carbamoyl aspartate Dihydroorotate Dihydroorotate Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase PRPP Synthetase Orotate Mitochondrion Phosphoribose PRPP Orotidine 5 -monophosphate decarboxylase Orotidine 5 -monophosphate Orotate phosphoribosyl transferase Orotate UMP

15 Formation of pyrimidine nucleoside di- and tripfosphates ADP UMP ADP UDP ADP UTP H 2 O CTP Nucleoside monophosphate kinase Nucleoside diphosphate kinase CTP synthase Ribonucleotide reductase deoxyudp deoxyump N 5,N 10 -MethyleneTHF DHF TMP Nucleoside diphosphate kinase Nucleoside monophosphate kinase TTP Nucleoside diphosphate phosphohydrolase Thymidylate synthase

16 Degradation of pyrimidine nucleotides During degradation CO2, NH3, β-alanine coa is formed UMP, CMP uridine, citidine uracile dihydrouracile N-carbamil- β-alanin dihydropyrimidinase) CO2, NH3, β-alanine coa dihydropyrimidinase defect: thymidine level increases in blood, appeares in urine, causes epileptic seizures. Gout doesn t appears, pyrimidine intermediers are water soluble. salvage mechanisms

17 Degradation of pyrimidine bases

18 Deoxynucleotides They are formed by ribonucleotide-reductase komplex It is active in fissiparous cells The OH-group of the 2. C-atom of ribose will be reducated, H2O will be formed Just nukleoside-diphosphate is substrate for this enzyme It is a multicomponent enzymesysthem: ribonucleotide reductase (SH protein), tioredoxine (cofactor) SH-groups become oxydated (S-S) In eucaryotes glutathion-reductase, in procaryotes thyoredoxin-reductase rereducates the cofactor

19 Influential drugs of nucleotide biosynthesis Aim: to inhibit baneful cell proliferationsokat (e.g.: in tumors, in viral infections, in autoimmun diseases) They have also side effects on hemopoetic cells, on immunsystem cells, on gamete and enterocytes Folate-, purine- és pyrimidine antagonists or analogues.

20 AMINOPTERIN, METHOTREXATE: -tetrahidrofolate analogues -due to the competitive inhibition of dihydrofolate-reductase no N5,N10-metyl- THF is formed -dump will not be metylated to dtmp SULFONAMIDES: -analogues of p-amino-benzoeacid (PABA) in folate -it reduces/inhibits the folate sythesis of bacteria, the nucleotide sythesis of them is also hampered -it was the first antibacterial drug 6-MERCAPTOPURINE: -analogue of the hipoxanthine structure -it is phosphoribosilated by the HGPRT, and so instead of insin acid tioinosin acid is formed,which doesn t transforms to adenilate and guanilate

21 CITOSINE-ARABINOSIDE: -it is an antimetabolite, interferes with citosine -instead of ribose arabinoside is the sugar component -after phosphorillation it becomes analogue of dctp, so it inhibits DNS synthesis 5-FLUOROURACILE: -by kinases it is formed to F-dUMP -F-dUMP binds kovalent to timidilate sythnase (suicide enzyme) NUKLEOSIDE ANALOGUES: -they are the best antiviral drugs (Zovirax ) -the viral thymidine-kinase is the substrate -the products inhibit the DNA-polymerates
