related disorders-I

Department of Biochemistry

Specific Learning Objectives

Catabolism of Carbon Skeletons of aa and related disorders:
Distinguish following disease states associated with Inborn Errors of Metabolism, including

deficient enzyme, relation of deficiency to build-up of secondary metabolites, and clinically relevant

information related to disease state (vitamin deficiencies, symptoms, diagnosis, pathology and

treatments:

? Cystinuria
? Histidinemia
? Phenylketonuria (PKU)
? Methylmalonyl CoA mutase deficiency e. Albinism
? Homocystinuria
? Alkaptonuria
? Maple syrup urine disease
? Cystathioninuria
? Tyrosinemia

Alternative pathways for catabolism of phenylalanine in PKU

? Phenylalanine and phenylpyruvate accumulate in

blood and tissues and are excreted in urine--hence

name "phenylketonuria"

? Phenylpyruvate, excreted as either decarboxylated

to phenylacetate or reduced to phenyllactate

? Phenylacetate gives a characteristic odor to urine,

(for detection of PKU in infants)

Disorder related to phenylalanine catabolism

Phenylketonuria (PKU): Genetic defect in phenylalanine hydroxylase, first

enzyme in catabolic pathway for phenylalanine, is responsible for PKU, most

common cause of elevated levels of phenylalanine (hyperphenylalaninemia)

Excess phenylalanine is transaminated to Phenylpyruvate

The "spil over" of Phenylpyruvate (a phenylketone) into urine

High concentration of phenylalanine itself gives rise to brain dysfunction.

Cont--

Phenylalanine hydroxylase requires cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin,

which carries electrons from NADH to O2 and becomes oxidized to

dihydrobiopterin

It is subsequently reduced by enzyme dihydrobiopterin reductase in

a reaction that requires NADH

Diet low in phenylalanine can prevent mental retardation of PKU
Disorder related to Tyrosine catabolism

Alkaptonuria: Metabolic defect in alkaptonuria is a defective homogentisate

oxidase the enzyme that catalyzes homogentisate to Maleylacetoacetate

Large amounts of homogentisate are excreted and urine darkens on

exposure to air due to oxidation of excreted homogentisate

This autooxidizes to the corresponding quinone, which polymerizes to

form an intensely dark color

Late in disease, there is arthritis and connective tissue pigmentation

(ochronosis) due to oxidation of homogentisate to benzoquinone acetate,

which polymerizes and binds to connective tissue

Type I Tyrosinemia

Several metabolic disorders are associated with tyrosine catabolic

pathway

Probable metabolic defect in type I tyrosinemia (tyrosinosis) is at

fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase
Untreated acute and chronic tyrosinosis leads to death from liver

failure, renal tubular dysfunction, rickets and polyneuropathy

Type II Tyrosinemia

Alternate metabolites of tyrosine are also excreted in type II

tyrosinemia (Richner-Hanhart syndrome), a defect in tyrosine

aminotransferase produces accumulation and excretion of tyrosine

and metabolites

Leads to eye and skin lesions and mental retardation

Type III Tyrosinemia

Neonatal Tyrosinemia or type III tyrosinemia, due to lowered activity of p-

hydroxyphenylpyruvate

dioxygenase/

p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate

hydroxylase

It can cause learning problems, seizures, and loss of balance

Therapy employs a diet low in protein, tyrosine and phenylalanine

Proline dehydrogenase/

1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase/

Fig18.26: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry by David L Nelson

Disorder related to Proline catabolism

Type I hyperprolinemia

Metabolic block in type I hyperprolinemia is at proline

dehydrogenase/proline oxidase

Some individuals with hyperprolinemia type I exhibit seizures,

intellectual disability, or other neurological or psychiatric problems
Type II hyperprolinemia

Metabolic block in type II hyperprolinemia is at 1-pyrroline-5-

carboxylate dehydrogenase, which also participates in catabolism of

arginine, ornithine, and hydroxyproline

It leads to seizures or intellectual disability.
