Rules

Overview: L-threonine degradation in GapMind is based on MetaCyc pathway I via 2-ketobutyrate formate-lyase (link), pathway II via glycine (link), pathway III via methylglyoxal (link), and pathway IV via threonine aldolase (link). Pathway V is not thought to occur in prokaryotes and is not included.

• all:
  • threonine-transport, tdcB, tdcE and propionyl-CoA-degradation
  • or threonine-transport, tdh, kbl and glycine-degradation
  • or threonine-transport, tdh, tynA and methylglyoxal-degradation
  • or threonine-transport, ltaE, acetaldehyde-degradation and glycine-degradation
  • Comment: In L-threonine degradation I, threonine dehydratase (tdcB) forms 2-iminbutanoate, which is deaminated to 2-oxobutanoate (either by the same enzyme or by ridA); then formate-lyase (tdcE) converts this to propanoyl-CoA. (MetaCyc also includes conversion to propanoate, which forms ATP, but this does not allow for growth unless the formate can be utilized.) In L-threonine degradation II, a dehydrogenase (tdh) forms L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate, and a C-acetyltransferase (kbl) cleaves this to acetyl-CoA and glycine. In L-threonine degradation III, tdh forms L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate, and oxidase tynA forms methylglyoxal. In L-threonine degradation IV, aldolase ltaE cleaves threonine to acetaldehyde and glycine.
• L-lactate-degradation:
  • L-LDH
  • or lldE, lldF and lldG
  • or lutA, lutB and lutC
  • or DVU3033 and DVU3032
  • or lctO and acs
  • or lctO, ackA and pta
  • Comment: Various L-lactate dehydrogenases are known, with different numbers of subunits; these all form pyruvate. Or, after L-lactate oxidase (lctO) forms acetate, the acetate is activated to acetyl-CoA.
• methylglyoxal-degradation:
  • gloA, gloB and D-lactate-dehydrogenase
  • or yvgN, aldA and L-lactate-degradation
  • Comment: In methylglyoxal degradation I (link), gloA condenses methylglyoxal with glutathione to (R)-S-lactoylglutathione, gloB cleaves it to D-lactate (also known as (R)-lactate) and glutathione, and the lactate is oxidized to pyruvate. In methylglyoxal degradation IV (link), yvgN reduces methylglyoxal to (S)-lactaldehyde, aldA oxidizes it to (S)-lactate (also known as L-lactate).
• D-lactate-dehydrogenase:
  • D-LDH
  • or lctB, lctC and lctD
  • or glcD, glcE and glcF
  • Comment: Acetobacterium woodii uses an electron-bifurcating dehydrogenase (lctBCD) for growth on lactate. The Km for D-lactate is far below that for L-lactate (Km of 3.6 mM vs. 112 mM; PMID:24762045), so we consider it to be a D-lactate dehydrogenase. GlcDEF from E. coli (EC 1.1.99.14) is usually described as glycolate dehydrogenase or glycolate oxidase, but it has similar activity on D-lactate (PMID:4557653), and homologs from various Proteobacteria are important for D-lactate utilization. The physiological electron acceptor is not known, so terming GlcDEF an oxidase is questionable.
• glycine-degradation:
  • glycine-reductase and ackA
  • or glycine-reductase and pta
  • or gcvP, gcvT, gcvH and lpd
  • Comment: Glycine can be reduced to acetyl phosphate by glycine reductase (EC 1.21.4.2), and then converted to acetate (by ackA in reverse) or acetyl-CoA (by pta) Or glycine can cleaved to ammonia, CO2, and 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate by the glycine cleavage system, gcvPTH/lpd.
• glycine-reductase: grdA, grdE, grdB, grdD and grdC
• acetaldehyde-degradation:
  • ald-dh-CoA
  • or adh and acs
  • or adh, ackA and pta
  • Comment: Acetaldehyde can be oxidized to acetyl-CoA, or oxidized to acetate and activated to acetyl-CoA by either acetyl-CoA synthetase (acs) or by acetate kinase (ackA) and phosphate acetyltransferase (pta).
• 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.
• threonine-transport:
  • braC, braD, braE, braF and braG
  • or tdcC
  • or sstT
  • or serP1
  • or phtA
  • or snatA
  • or RR42_RS28305
