1
Nitrogenous Bases
Planar, aromatic, and heterocyclic
Derived from purine or pyrimidine
Numbering of bases is “unprimed”
2
Nucleic Acid Bases
Purines
Pyrimidines
3
Sugars
Pentoses (5-C sugars)
Numbering of sugars is “primed”
4
Sugars
D-Ribose and 2’-Deoxyribose
*Lacks a 2’-OH group
5
Nucleosides
6
Phosphate Groups
Mono-, di- or triphosphates
Phosphates can be bonded to either C3 or C5
atoms of the sugar
7
Nucleotides
Result from linking one or more phosphates with a
nucleoside onto the 5’ end of the molecule through
esterification
8
Nucleotides
Monomers for nucleic acid polymers
Nucleoside Triphosphates are important
energy carriers (ATP, GTP)
Important components of coenzymes
– FAD, NAD+ and Coenzyme A
9
Naming Conventions
Nucleosides:
– Purine nucleosides end in “-sine”
Adenosine, Guanosine
– Pyrimidine nucleosides end in “-dine”
Thymidine, Cytidine, Uridine
Nucleotides:
– Start with the nucleoside name from above and add
“mono-”, “di-”, or “triphosphate”
Adenosine Monophosphate, Cytidine Triphosphate,
Deoxythymidine Diphosphate

Nucleotide Biosynthesis
De novo Biosynthesis
Salvage Biosynthesis
11
Nucleotide Metabolism
PURINE RIBONUCLEOTIDES: De novo
– i.e., purines are not initially synthesized as free bases
– First purine derivative formed is Inosine Mono-phosphate
(IMP)
12
13
Steps 1
Step 1:Activation of ribose-5-phosphate
– product: 5-phosphoribosyl-a-pyrophosphate
(PRPP)
– PRPP is also a precursor in the biosynthesis of:
pyrimidine nucleotides
Histidine
Tryptophan
14
Step 1: purine synthesis
15
Step 2: purine synthesis:
commited step
16
Step 3 : purine synthesis
17
Acquisition of purine atom
C8 & purine atom N3
18
Step 6: purine synthesis
19
Step 7: purine synthesis
Acquisition of C6 introduced as HCO3-
20
Steps 8 thru 11
Step 8: acquisition of N1
– N1 is acquired from aspartate in an amide
condensation reaction
– enzyme: SAICAR synthetase
– product: 5-aminoimidazole-4-(Nsuccinylocarboxamide)ribotide (SAICAR)
– reaction is driven by hydrolysis of ATP
21
Step 8: purine
synthesis
22
Step 9: purine synthesis
23
Step 10: purine
synthesis
24
Step 11
cyclization or ring closure to form IMP
water is eliminated
in contrast to step 6 (closure of the
imidazole ring), this reaction does not
require ATP hydrolysis
once formed, IMP is rapidly converted to
AMP and GMP (it does not accumulate in
cells

Purine nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates:
- to be incorporated into DNA and RNA, nucleoside
monophosphates (NMP’s) must be converted into
nucleoside triphosphates (NTP’s)
- nucleoside monophosphate kinases (adenylate & guanylate
kinases)

Salvage of Purines
Salvage is needed to maintain the purine pool
(biosynthesis is not completely adequate, especially in
neural tissue)
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
(HGPRT)
Hypoxanthine + PRPP
IMP + Ppi
Guanine + PRPP
GMP + Ppi
Lack of HGPRT leads to Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Lack
of enzyme leads to overproduction of purines which are
metabolized to uric acid, which damages cells
33
Salvage of purine bases
Salvage of purines
34
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
there is a defect or lack in the HGPRT enzyme
the rate of purine synthesis is increased about
200X
uric acid level rises and there is gout
in addition there are mental aberrations
patients will self-mutilate by biting lips and
fingers off
35
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
36
37
Purine Autism
25% of autistic patients may
overproduce purines
To diagnose, must test urine over 24
hours
– Biochemical findings from this test
disappear in adolescence
– Must obtain urine specimen in infancy,
but it’s difficult to do!

Origin of atoms in pyrimidine ring
40
Step 1: synthesis of carbamoyl
phosphate
Condensation of glutamine, bicarbonate in the
presence of ATP
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase exists in 2
types: CPS-I which is a mitochondrial enzyme
and is dedicated to the urea cycle and arginine
biosynthesis) and CPS-II, a cytosolic enzyme
used here
42
Step 1: pyrimidine synthesis
CPS-II is the major site of regulation in animals: UDP and
UTP inhibit the enzyme and ATP and PRPP activate it
It is the committed step in animals
43
Step 2: synthesis of carbamoyl
aspartate
enzyme is aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase)
catalyzes the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate
with aspartate with the release of Pi
ATCase is the major site of regulation in bacteria; it
is activated by ATP and inhibited by CTP
carbamoyl phosphate is an “activated” compound, so
no energy input is needed at this step
44
Step 2: pyrimidine synthesis
45
Step 3: ring closure to form
dihydroorotate
enzyme: dihydroorotase
forms a pyrimidine from carbamoyl
aspartate
water is released in this process
46
Step 3: pyrimidine
synthesis
47
Step 4: oxidation of dihydroorotate
to orotate
an irreversible reaction
enzyme: dihydroorotate dehydrogenase
oxidizing power is derived from quinones
(thru coenzyme Q)
48
Step 4: pyrimidine synthesis
49
Step 5: pyrimidine synthesis

Step 6: pyrimidine

52
Orotic aciduria
an inherited human disease caused by a
deficiency in the multifunctional enzyme that
catalyzes the last 2 steps in the pyrimidine
synthesis
large amounts of orotic acid in urine
retarded growth and severe anemia

and/or cytidine
53
Leflunomide (Arava)
Leflunomide is an isoxazole immunomodulatory
agent which inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase)
and has antiproliferative activity. Several in vivo
and in vitro experimental models have
demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect.

ADA deficiency
In the absence of ADA lymphocytes are destroyed
deoxyadenosine is not destroyed, is converted to
dAMP and then into dATP
dATP is a potent feedback inhibitor of
deoxynucleotide biosynthesis
this leads to SCID (severe combined
immunodeficiency disease)
Infants with this deficiency have a high fatality rate
due to infections
70
ADA deficiency
treatment consists of administering
pegylated ADA which can remain in the
blood for 1 – 2 weeks
more efficient is gene therapy: replacing the
gene that is missing or defective
gene therapy has been performed on
selected patients

Early stage: recurring acute non- articular
arthritis
Late stage: chronic deforming polyarthritis and
eventual renal complication
Disease with rich history dating back to
ancient Greece

intelligence
People with gout:

Isaac Newton
Benjamin Frankin
Martin Luther
Charles Darwin
77
Gout
prevail mainly in adult males
rarely encountered in premenopausal women
symptoms are cause by deposition of crystals
of monosodium urate monohydrate (can be
seen under polarized light)
usually affect joints in the lower extremities
(the big toe is the classic site)
78
Gout
79
Diagnostic features
usually affect joints in the lower extremities (
95%)
onset is fast and sudden
pain is usually severe; joint may be swollen,
red and hot
attack may be accompanied by fever,
leukocytosis and an elevated ESR
80
Drugs which may induce
hyperuricemia
niacin
thiazides and other diuretics
low dose aspirin
pyrazinamide
ethambutol
cyclosporine
cytotoxic drugs
81
Non-pharmacological
approaches
Avoid purine rich foods:
– red meat and organ meat (liver, kidneys)
– shellfish, anchovies, mackerel, herring
– meat extracts and gravies
– peas and beans, aspargus, lentils
– beer, lager, other alcoholic beverages
Weight loss
Control alcohol (binge drinking)
82
Pharmacological management of
gout
based on the premise that the
hyperuricemia is due to both
overproduction and underexcretion of uric
acid
symptomatic relief of pain is also achieved
with analgesics (i.e. indomethacin)
drugs used:
– analgesics (NSAIDs)
– uricosuric agents
– xanthine oxidase inhibitors
