The pathway starts with a malonyl-[acp] interacting with S-adenosylmethionine through a biotin synthesis protein BioC resulting in a S-adenosylhomocysteine and a malonyl-[acp] methyl ester. The latter compound is then involved in the synthesis of a 3-ketoglutaryl-[acp] methyl ester through a 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase. The compound 3-ketoglutaryl-[acp] methyl ester is reduced by a NADPH mediated 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase resulting in a 3R-hydroxyglutaryl-[acp] methyl ester. This compound is then dehydrated through ad (3R)-hydroxymyristoyl-[acp] dehydratase producing a enoylglutaryl-[acp] methyl ester. This compound is then reduced through a NADPH mediated enoyl-acp-reductase [NADH] resulting in a glutaryl-[acp] methyl ester. This compound interacts with a malonyl-[acp] through a 3-oxoacyl-[acp] synthase 2 resulting in a 3-ketopimeloyl [acp] methyl ester. This compound is then reduced through a NADPH 3-oxoacyl [acp] reductase producing a 3-hydroxypimeloyl-[acp] methyl ester and then dehydrated by (3R)-hydroxymyristoyl-[acp] dehydratase to produce a enoylpimeloyl-[acp] methyl ester. This compound is then reduced by a NADPH dependent enoyl-[acp]reductase resulting in a pimeloyl-[acp] methyl ester. This compound then reacts with water through a carboxylesterase resulting in a pimeloyl-[acp] and a methanol. The pimeloyl-acp reacts with L-alanine through a 8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase resulting in 8-amino-7-oxononanoate which in turn reacts with S-adenosylmethionine through a 7,8 diaminonanoate transaminase resulting in a S-adenosyl-4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoate and 7,8 diaminononanoate. The latter compound is then dephosphorylated through a dethiobiotin synthetase resulting in a dethiobiotin. This compound interacts with a sulfurated[sulfur carrier), a hydrogen ion and a S-adenosylmethionine through a biotin synthase to produce Biotin and releasing l-methionine and a 5-deoxyadenosine. Biotin is then metabolized by a bifunctional protein resulting in pyrophosphate and Biotinyl-5-AMP which in turn reacts with the same protein (bifunctional protein birA resulting ina biotin caroxyl carrying protein.This product then enters the fatty acid biosynthesis. PW000762 ec00780 Metabolic D-Alanine metabolism L-alanine is an essential component of protein and peptidoglycan. The latter also contains about three molecules of D-alanine for every L-alanine. Only about 10 percent of the total alanine synthesized flows into peptidoglycan. Refer to L-alanine metabolism (pathway PW000788 ). Through this single pathway D-alanine can be degraded to pyruvate through a D-amino acid dehydrogenase, which enters central metabolism and thereby can serve as a total source of carbon and energy. This pathway is unique among those through which L-amino acids are degraded, in that the L form must first be converted to the D form. This first step of the pathway, which can be catalyzed by either of two racemases( biosynthetic or catabolic), also serves an essential role in biosynthesis because its product, D-alanine, is an essential component of cell wall peptidoglycan (murein). D-alanine is metabolized by an ATP driven D-alanine ligase A and B resulting in D-alanyl-D-alanine. This product is incorporated into the peptidoglycan biosynthesis. PW000768 ec00473 Metabolic Taurine and hypotaurine metabolism ec00430 D-Glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism L-glutamine is transported into the cytoplasm through a glutamine ABC transporter. Once inside, L-glutamine is metabolized with glutaminase to produce an L-glutamic acid. This process can be reversed through a glutamine synthetase resulting in L-glutamine. L-glutamic acid can also be transported into the cytoplasm through various methods: a glutamate/aspartate:H+ symporter GltP, a glutamate: sodium symporter or a glutamate/aspartate ABC transporter. L-glutamic acid can proceed to L-glutamate metabolism or it can undergo a reversible reaction through a glutamate racemase resulting in D-glutamic acid. This compound can also be obtained from D-glutamine interacting with a glutaminase. D-glutamic acid reacts with UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine through an ATP driven UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanine-D-glutamate ligase resulting in a UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate which is then integrated into the peptidoglycan biosynthesis UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine comes from the amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism product, UDP-N-acetylmuraminate which reacts with L-alanine through an ATP-driven UDP-N-acetylmuramate-L-alanine ligase.

The latter also contains about three molecules of D-alanine for every L-alanine. Only about 10 percent of the total alanine synthesized flows into peptidoglycan. There are at least 3 ways to begin the biosynthesis of alanine. The first method for alanine biosynthesis begins with L-cysteine produced from L-cysteine biosynthesis pathway. L-cysteine reacts with an [L-cysteine desulfurase] L-cysteine persulfide through a cysteine desulfurase resulting in a release of [L-cysteine desulfurase] l-cysteine persulfide and L-alanine. The second method starts with pyruvic acid reacting with L-glutamic acid through a glutamate-pyruvate aminotransferase resulting in a oxoglutaric acid and L-alanine. The third method starts with L-glutamic acid interacting with Alpha-ketoisovaleric acid through a valine transaminase resulting in an oxoglutaric acid and L-valine. L-valine reacts with pyruvic acid through a valine-pyruvate aminotransferase resulting Alpha-ketoisovaleric acid and L-alanine. This first step of the pathway, which can be catalyzed by either of two racemases( biosynthetic or catabolic), also serves an essential role in biosynthesis because its product, D-alanine, is an essential component of cell wall peptidoglycan (murein). D-alanine is metabolized by an ATP driven D-alanine ligase A and B resulting in D-alanyl-D-alanine. This product is incorporated into the peptidoglycan biosynthesis. L-alanine is metabolized with alanine racemase, either catabolic or metabolic resulting in a D-alanine. This compound reacts with water and a quinone through a D-amino acid dehydrogenase resulting in Pyruvic acid, hydroquinone and ammonium, thus entering the central metabolism and thereby can serve as a total source of carbon and energy. This pathway is unique among those through which L-amino acids are degraded, in that the L form must first be converted to the D form. D-alanine, is an essential component of cell wall peptidoglycan (murein). The role of the alr racemase is predominately biosynthetic: it is produced constitutively in small amounts. The role of the dadX racemase is degradative: it is induced to high levels by alanine and is subject to catabolite repression.

The pathway for constructing this net involves two cell compartments: cytoplasm and periplasmic space. The pathway starts with a beta-D-fructofuranose going through a mannose PTS permease, phosphorylating the compund and producing a beta-D-fructofuranose 6 phosphate. This compound can be obtained from the glycolysis and pyruvate dehydrogenase or from an isomerization reaction of Beta-D-glucose 6-phosphate through a glucose-6-phosphate isomerase.The compound Beta-D-fructofuranose 6 phosphate and L-Glutamine react with a glucosamine fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase, thus producing a glucosamine 6-phosphate and a l-glutamic acid. The glucosamine 6-phosphate interacts with phosphoglucosamine mutase in a reversible reaction producing glucosamine-1P. Glucosamine-1p and acetyl coa undergo acetylation throuhg a bifunctional protein glmU releasing Coa and a hydrogen ion and producing a N-acetyl-glucosamine 1-phosphate. Glmu, being a bifunctional protein, follows catalyze the interaction of N-acetyl-glucosamine 1-phosphate, hydrogen ion and UTP into UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and pyrophosphate. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine then interacts with phosphoenolpyruvic acid and a UDP-N acetylglucosamine 1- carboxyvinyltransferase realeasing a phosphate and the compound UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine-enolpyruvate. This compound undergoes a NADPH dependent reduction producing a UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramate through a UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase. UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramate and L-alanine react in an ATP-mediated ligation through a UDP-N-acetylmuramate-alanine ligase releasing an ADP, hydrogen ion, a phosphate and a UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine. This compound interacts with D-glutamic acid and ATP through UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanine-D-glutamate ligase releasing ADP, A phosphate and UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate. The latter compound then interacts with meso-diaminopimelate in an ATP mediated ligation through a UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanine-D-glutamate-2,6-diaminopimelate ligase resulting in ADP, phosphate, hydrogen ion and UDP-N-Acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-gamma-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimelate. This compound in turn with D-alanyl-D-alanine react in an ATP-mediated ligation through UDP-N-Acetylmuramoyl-tripeptide-D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase to produce UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-gama-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimeloyl-Dalanyl-D-alanine and hydrogen ion, ADP, phosphate. UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-gama-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimeloyl-Dalanyl-D-alanine interacts with di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl phosphate through a phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase, resulting in UMP and Undecaprenyl-diphospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimeloyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine which in turn reacts with a UDP-N-acetylglucosamine through a N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase to produce a hydrogen, UDP and ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyldiphospho-N-acetyl-(N-acetylglucosaminyl)muramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimeloyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine. This compound ends the cytoplasmic part of the pathway. ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyldiphospho-N-acetyl-(N-acetylglucosaminyl)muramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimeloyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine is transported through a lipi II flippase. Once in the periplasmic space, the compound reacts with a penicillin binding protein 1A prodducing a peptidoglycan dimer, a hydrogen ion, and UDP. The peptidoglycan dimer then reacts with a penicillin binding protein 1B producing a peptidoglycan with D,D, cross-links and a D-alanine.
