DescriptionThreonine (abbreviated as Thr or T) is an alpha-amino acid. The L-isomer is one of the 22 proteinogenic amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. It is classified as a nonpolar, branched chain amino acid, because of the hydrophobic nature of the alcoholic side chain. Together with serine, threonine is one of two proteinogenic amino acids bearing an alcohol group. It is also one of two common amino acids that bear a chiral side chain, along with isoleucine. The threonine residue is susceptible to numerous posttranslational modifications. The hydroxy side-chain can undergo O-linked glycosylation. In addition, threonine residues undergo phosphorylation through the action of a threonine kinase. threonine is synthesized from aspartic acid via alpha-aspartyl-semialdehyde and homoserine. Homoserine undergoes O-phosphorylation; this phosphate ester undergoes hydrolysis concomitant with relocation of the OH group. Enzymes involved in a typical biosynthesis of threonine include: 1) aspartokinase; 2) beta-aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase; 3) homoserine dehydrogenase; 4) homoserine kinase and 5) threonine synthase. Threonine can be catabolized in one of three pathways. One process involves glycine-independent serine/threonine dehydratase yielding alpha-ketobutyrate which is further catabolized to propionyl-CoA and finally the TCA cycle intermediate, succinyl-CoA. The second pathway of threonine catabolism utilizes serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The products of this reaction are acetyl-CoA and glycine. The glycine can be converted to serine via the same enzyme and the serine is then catabolized yielding pyruvate and NH4+. Thus, via this catabolic pathway threonine yields ketogenic and glucogenic byproducts. A third pathway occurs in the mitochondria and is initiated by threonine dehydrogenase yielding alpha-amino-beta-ketobutyrate (2-amino-3-ketobutyrate). The 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate is either converted to acetyl-CoA and glycine, via the action of 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase (also called glycine C-acetyltransfease), or it can spontaneously degrade to aminoacetone which is converted to pyruvate.
