Rules

Overview: Valine degradation in GapMind is based on MetaCyc pathway L-valine degradation I (link). The other pathways do not produce any fixed carbon and are not included.

• all: valine-transport, BKD, acdH, ech, bch, mmsB, mmsA and propionyl-CoA-degradation
  • Comment: An aminotransferase (not represented) forms 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate, the decarboxylating alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BKD) forms isobutanoyl-CoA, dehydrogenase acdH forms methylacrylyl-CoA (2-methylprop-2-enoyl-CoA), the hydratase ech forms (S)-3-hydroxy-isobutaonoyl-CoA, a hydrolase forms (S)-3-hydroxy-isobutanoate, a dehydrogenase forms (S)-methylmalonate semialdehyde (2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate), and a decarboxylating dehydrogenase forms propionyl-CoA.
• BKD:
  • bkdA, bkdB, bkdC and lpd
  • or vorA*, vorB and vorC
  • or ofoA and ofoB
  • or ofo
  • Comment: These decarboxylating dehydrogenases act on 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate, 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (2-oxoisovalerate) and (S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate and are known as the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenases. They can pass electrons to NAD (EC 1.2.1.25) or to ferredoxin (EC 1.2.7.7). The NAD-dependent enzyme is the sum of three activities: EC 1.2.4.4 (the 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate dehydrogenase, with transfer to the lipopoyllysine residue of 2.3.1.168) which is itself heteromeric, with alpha and beta subunits; EC 2.3.1.168 (dihydrolipoyllysine-residue (3-methylbutanoyl)transferase); and EC 1.8.1.4 (dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, transferring electrons to NAD). The well-characterized ferredoxin-dependent enzymes have 3 subunits (vorABC) or 2 subunits (ofoAB). Genetic data identified a fused ferredoxin-dependent enzyme with just 1 subunit (ofo).
• propionyl-CoA-degradation:
  • prpC, prpD, acn and prpB
  • or prpC, acnD, prpF, acn and prpB
  • or propionyl-CoA-carboxylase, epi and methylmalonyl-CoA-mutase
  • or pco, hpcD, dddA and iolA
  • Comment: In 2-methylcitrate cycle I, propionyl-CoA is combined with oxalacetate (by prpC) to give methylcitrate, dehydrated to cis-2-methylaconitate by prpD, hydrated to (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate, and a lyase produces pyruvate and succinate. (We consider succinate as a central intermediate, as most organisms can activate it to succinyl-CoA or can oxidize it to fumarate and convert that to oxaloacetate.) In 2-methylcitrate cycle II, a different dehydratase (acnD) and an isomerase (prpF) replace the dehydratase prpD; acnD dehydrates (2S,3S)-2-methylcitrate to 2-methyl-trans-aconitate, and prpF isomerizes it to cis-2-methylaconitate. In propanoyl CoA degradation I, propionyl-CoA carboxylase forms (S)-methylmalonyl-CoA, methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase forms (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA, and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase forms succinyl-CoA, which is a central metabolite. (Note that methylmalonyl-CoA mutase requires adenosylcobamide, a form of vitamin B12, for activity.) In propanoyl-CoA degradation II: propionyl-CoA is oxidized to acrylyl-CoA by pco, hydrated to 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA, hydrolzed to 3-hydroxypropionate, oxidized to 3-oxopropionate (malonate semialdehyde), and oxidized to acetyl-CoA and CO2.
• methylmalonyl-CoA-mutase:
  • mcmA
  • or mcm-large and mcm-small
  • Comment: methylmalonyl-CoA mutase has a catalytic domain and a B12-binding domain. These are usually found in the same protein, which we call mcmA. In Metallosphaera and Pyrococcus, the B12-binding domain is a separate subunit. In Propionibacterium and Methylorubrum, there is an additional subunit with a catalytic domain only; this may have a protective role (PMID:14734568) and is not described here. There's also a mcm-interacting GTPase (known as MeaB or YgfD) that loads B12 onto mcm and protects it from inactivation (see PMC4631608); this is not described here. Some fused mcm proteins include a MeaB domain as well (i.e., Q8F222, Q8Y2U5).
• propionyl-CoA-carboxylase:
  • pccA and pccB
  • or pccA1, pccA2 and pccB
  • Comment: propionyl-CoA carboxylase is a heteromer, usually with alpha and beta subunits pccAB. Haloferax mediterranei has a third subunit as well (pccX), which is not described here. Acidianus brierleyi has a diverged pccA split into two pieces.
• valine-transport:
  • livF, livG, livJ, livH and livM
  • or natA, natB, natC, natD and natE
  • or Bap2
  • or brnQ
  • or phtJ
  • or bcaP
  • Comment: Transporters were identified using query: transporter:valine:L-valine:val
