Title: Biosynthesis of Macromolecules


1
(No Transcript)
2
Biosynthesis of Macromolecules
  • Anabolism- use energy (ATP) from catabolism
  • - use carbon from sugars, lipids, proteins, or
    any other carbon source (xenobiotics) to build
    cellular components

4
Key Intermediates
  • Located in the glycolytic pathway
  • Ex. Glucose-6-phosphate, pyruvic acid, etc.
  • Located in the TCA cycle
  • Ex. Oxaloacetic acid, ketoglutaric acid

5
Central Metabolic pathway
  • Catabolism and anabolism are interconnected due
    to amphibolic pathways

Lipid Biosynthesis
  • Fatty acid biosynthesis- Acetyl-CoA---gtfatty acid
    (cell structure)
  • Poly-ß-hydroxybutyric acid- Acetyl-CoA---gt Poly.
    (storage)
  • Phospholipid- Glycolytic intermediate---gt lipid (
    membrane)
  • Sterols- eukaryotic cell membrane

10
Amino Acid Biosynthesis
  • Amination addition of an amine group (N
    containing) to a critical intermediate
  • Transamination - new amino acids are made from
    the amine group from old amino acids

11

12
Nucleotide Biosynthesis
  • N molecule (amino acid), five carbon sugar,
    phosphate combine gtnucleotides (DNA, RNA)
  • Five carbon sugar
  • Pryrimidines- cytosine, thymine
  • Purines- adenine, guanine

13
(No Transcript)
14
Polysaccharide Biosynthesis
  • Peptidoglycan- Glycolytic intermediates,
    nucleotides ---gtPEG
  • Lipopolysaccharide- Glycolytic intermediates,
    other sugars ---gt LPS, teichoic acid, mycolic
    acid, glycogen, etc.

16
Photosynthetic microbes
  • Carbon dioxide fixation
  • Inorganic CO2 is incorporated into the cellular
    structure (Calvin cycle)

18
Metabolic diversity
  • Different sources of carbon and energy exist for
    various microbes, plants, and animals.

19
Metabolic diversity
  • Four main groups of microbes
  • 1.) chemoheterotrophs
  • 2.) chemoautotrophs
  • 3.) photoautotrophs
  • 4.) photoheterophs

20
Chemoheterotrophs
  • Many medically important microbes are in this
    category (E. coli, B. anthrasis, etc.)
  • Carbon source organic molecules (carbohydrates,
    proteins, lipids, xenobiotics)
  • Energy sourceorganic molecules (carbohydrates,
    proteins, lipids, xenobiotics)

21
Chemoautotroph
  • Many soil microbes
  • Source of carbon inorganic molecule (ex. CO2)
  • Source of energy electrons from inorganic
    compounds (ex. S, H2S, NO2)

22
Photoautotroph
  • Photosynthesis (green sulfur bacteria, etc.)
  • Source of carbon CO2
  • Source of energy light

23
Photoheterotroph
  • photosynthesis (green nonsulfur bacteria, etc.)
  • Source of carbon organic molecule ( ex. Fatty
    acids, alcohol, etc.)
  • Source of energy light

24
Summary of Anabolism
  • Use ATP (energy) from catabolism for biosynthesis
  • Build small molecules into larger molecules or
    cell structures (ex. Glucose, amino acids, fatty
    acidsgtlipid, PG)
  • Diversity of metabolic systems (chemoheterotrophs,
    etc.)
  • Cell division (binary fission)anabolism

25
  • Catabolism and anabolism are integrated
  • (amphibolic pathways)
