transcription as part of the biotin cycle
- prosthetic group for
carboxylases

nuclesomes
- biocytin (biotin covalently bonded to a
lysine) released during protein turnover,
converted back to biotin via biotinidase
- prosthetic group for
carboxylases
- used in either metabolism or
transcription as part of the biotin cycle
- Vitamin B6
(Pyridoxine)

of metabolism

pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP),
which is required for over 100
enzyme functions
- transamination

- GABA
- serotonin
- modulates action of
steroid hormones
- oestrogen

- transamination
- required in many parts
of metabolism
- Vitamin B12
- large complex with
cobalt (III) ion
- crucial for 2 enzymes
Anotações:
- methionine synthase L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase
- found only in
animal sources
- bound in stomach to R-binding
protein, which is degraded as
B12 reaches the duodenum, so
it can be absorbed in the small
intestine via intrinsic factor
- problems with this pathway lead to
macrocytic anaemia and
neurological problems
- problems with this pathway lead to
macrocytic anaemia and
neurological problems
- needed for the recycling of folate
- all linked in pathways
for DNA methylation
- large complex with
cobalt (III) ion
- Folic acid (B9)
- key to 1 carbon
transfers
- tetrahydrofolate is main
molecule involved in this
process
- key to biosynthesis of several
molecules, inlcluding dTMP, that
regenerates folate
Anotações:
- other include serine, methionine, glycine, choline and purine nucleotides
- during this process, THF donates a
methylene and is oxidised to DHF,
dihydrofolate reductase is required to
reduce it back to THF, any absence of
this inhibits DNA synthesis so is a target
for cancer therapy
Anotações:
- methotrexate aminopterin trimethoprim
- tetrahydrofolate is main
molecule involved in this
process
- deficiency leads to
megaloblastic anaemia
and neural tube defects
(spinal bifida)
- key to 1 carbon
transfers
- water soluble
- Thiamin (B1)
- Vitamin C
(ascorbic acid)
- large role in collagen synthesis,
coenzyme for prolyl hydroxylase and
lysyl hydroxylase
- prolyl hydroxylase involved in
hydroxyproline synthesis, which
stabilises the collagen triple helix
- lysyl hydroxylase involved in
hydroxylysine synthesis, which aids
cross-linking between chains
- prolyl hydroxylase involved in
hydroxyproline synthesis, which
stabilises the collagen triple helix
- deficiency leads to scurvy,
which results in weak collagen
- symptoms include
fatigue, joint pain,
muscle weakness,
haemhorrhages,
gum disease
- symptoms include
fatigue, joint pain,
muscle weakness,
haemhorrhages,
gum disease
- excess vitamin C
consumption can
cause kidney stones

- protect from free
radicals - antioxidant
- Vitamin A
- derived from dietary
B-carotene
- B-carotene dioxygenase in
intestines cleaves to form
retinal
- retinaldehyde reductase forms
retinol using NADPH
- esterified to palmitic acid

transport it to liver, retinol is
taken up in the liver by RBP
- in to chylomicrons, which
transport it to liver, retinol is
taken up in the liver by RBP
- esterified to palmitic acid
- retinaldehyde reductase forms
retinol using NADPH
- retinol condenses with
a lysine on opsin in rod
cells to form rhodopsin
- deficiency leads to
poor vision then
blindness

that prevents regeneration of

- phylloquinone in plants
- Vitamin D
- cholesterol is a precursor for
vitamin D synthesis
- 7-dehydrocholesterol is converted
to cholecalciferol (D3) on the skin
through the action of UV radiation
- cholecalciferol is converted
to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3
(calcidiol) in the liver
- calcidiol is converted to 1,
25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
(calcitriol) in the kidney, this is
the biologically active form

bloodstream

disease (osteomalacia/rickets)
- also linked to cancer risk
- also linked to cancer risk
