  <name>Putrescine</name>
  <description>Putrescine is a polyamine. Putrescine is related to cadaverine (another polyamine). Both are produced by the breakdown of amino acids in living and dead organisms and both are toxic in large doses.  Putrescine and cadaverine are largely responsible for the foul odor of putrefying flesh. Putrescine attacks s-adenosyl methionine and converts it to spermidine. Spermidine in turn attacks another s-adenosyl methionine and converts it to spermine. Putrescine is synthesized in small quantities by healthy living cells by the action of ornithine decarboxylase. The polyamines, of which putrescine is one of the simplest, appear to be growth factors necessary for cell division. (Wikipedia)</description>

      <name>Glutathione metabolism</name>
      <description>The biosynthesis of glutathione starts with the introduction of L-glutamic acid through either  a glutamate:sodium symporter, glutamate / aspartate : H+ symporter GltP or a 
glutamate / aspartate ABC transporter. Once in the cytoplasm, L-glutamice acid reacts with L-cysteine through an ATP glutamate-cysteine ligase resulting in gamma-glutamylcysteine. This compound reacts which Glycine through an ATP driven glutathione synthetase thus catabolizing Glutathione.
This compound is metabolized through a spontaneous reaction with an oxidized glutaredoxin resulting in a reduced glutaredoxin and an oxidized glutathione. This compound is reduced by a NADPH glutathione reductase resulting in a glutathione.

      <description>S-adenosyl-L-methionine biosynthesis(SAM) is synthesized in the cytosol of the cell from L-methionine and ATP. This reaction is catalyzed by methionine adenosyltransferase. L methione is taken up from the environment through a complex reaction coupled transport and then proceeds too synthesize the s adenosylmethionine through a adenosylmethionine synthase. The S-adenosylmethionine then interacts with a hydrogen ion through a adenosylmethionine decarboxylase resulting in a carbon dioxide and a S-adenosyl 3-methioninamine.This compound interacts with a putrescine through a spermidine synthase resulting in a spermidine, a hydrogen ion and a S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine. The latter compound is degraded by interacting with a water molecule through a 5' methylthioadenosine nucleosidase resulting in a adenine and a S-methylthioribose which is then release into the environment</description>

      <name>arginine metabolism</name>
      <description>The metabolism of L-arginine starts with the acetylation of L-glutamic acid resulting in a N-acetylglutamic acid while releasing a coenzyme A and a hydrogen ion. N-acetylglutamic acid is then phosphorylated via an ATP driven acetylglutamate kinase which yields a N-acetyl-L-glutamyl 5-phosphate. This compound undergoes a NDPH dependent reduction resulting in N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde. This compound reacts with L-glutamic acid through a acetylornithine aminotransferase / N-succinyldiaminopimelate aminotransferase to produce  a N-acetylornithine which is then deacetylated through a acetylornithine deacetylase which yield an ornithine.
L-glutamine is used to synthesize carbamoyl phosphate through the interaction of L-glutamine, water, ATP, and hydrogen carbonate. This reaction yields ADP, L-glutamic acid, phosphate, and hydrogen ion. 
Carbamoyl phosphate and ornithine are used to catalyze the production of citrulline through an ornithine carbamoyltransferase. Citrulline reacts with L-aspartic acid through an ATP dependent enzyme, argininosuccinate synthase to produce pyrophosphate, AMP and argininosuccinic acid. Argininosussinic acid is then lyase to produce L-arginine and fumaric acid.
L-arginine can be metabolized into succinic acid by two different sets of reactions:
1. Arginine reacts with succinyl-CoA through a arginine N-succinyltransferase resulting in N2-succinyl-L-arginine while releasing CoA and Hydrogen Ion. N2-succinyl-L-arginine is then dihydrolase to produce a N2-succinyl-L-ornithine through a N-succinylarginine dihydrolase. This compound in turn reacts with oxoglutaric acid through succinylornithine transaminase resulting in L-glutamic acid and N2-succinyl-L-glutamic acid 5-semialdehyde. This compoud in turn reacts with a NAD dependent dehydrogenase resulting in N2-succinylglutamate while releasing NADH and hydrogen ion. N2-succinylglutamate reacts with water through a succinylglutamate desuccinylase resulting in  L-glutamic acid and 
a succinic acid. The succinic acid is then incorporated in the TCA cycle
2.Argine reacts with carbon dioxide and a hydrogen ion through a biodegradative arginine decarboxylase, resulting in Agmatine. This compound is then transformed into putrescine by reacting with water and an agmatinase, and releasing urea. Putrescine can be metabolized by reaction with either l-glutamic acid or oxoglutaric acid. If putrescine reacts with L-glutamic acid, it reacts through an ATP mediated gamma-glutamylputrescine producing a hydrogen ion, ADP, phosphate and gamma-glutamyl-L-putrescine. This compound is reduced by interacting with oxygen, water and a gamma-glutamylputrescine oxidoreductase resulting in ammonium, hydrogen peroxide and 4-gamma-glutamylamino butanal. This compound is dehydrogenated through a NADP mediated reaction  lead by gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutaryaldehyde dehydrogenase resulting in  hydrogen ion, NADPH and 4-glutamylamino butanoate. In turn, the latter compound reacts with water through a gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyrate hydrolase resulting in L-glutamic acid and Gamma aminobutyric acid. On the other hand, if putrescine reacts with oxoglutaric acid through a putrescine aminotransferase, it results in L-glutamic acid, and a 4-aminobutyraldehyde. This compound reacts with water through a NAD dependent gamma aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase resulting in hydrogen ion, NADH and gamma-aminobutyric acid.
Gamma Aaminobutyric acid reacts with oxoglutaric acid through 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase resulting in L-glutamic acid and succinic acid semialdehyde. This compound in turn can react with with either NADP  or NAD to result in the production of succinic acid through succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase or aldehyde dehydrogenase-like protein yneI respectively. Succinic acid can then be integrated in the TCA cycle. 
L-arginine is eventua lly metabolized into succinic acid which then goes to the TCA cycle</description>

      <description>
In the ornithine biosynthesis pathway of E. coli, L-glutamate is acetylated to N-acetylglutamate by the enzyme N-acetylglutamate synthase, encoded by the argA gene. The acetyl donor for this reaction is acetyl-CoA. N-acetylglutamic acid is then phosphorylated via an ATP driven acetylglutamate kinase which yields a N-acetyl-L-glutamyl 5-phosphate. This compound undergoes a NADPH dependent reduction resulting in N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde. This compound reacts with L-glutamic acid through a acetylornithine aminotransferase / N-succinyldiaminopimelate aminotransferase to produce  a N-acetylornithine which is then deacetylated through a acetylornithine deacetylase which yield an ornithine. Ornithine interacts with hydrogen ion  through a Ornithine decarboxylase resulting in a carbon dioxide release and  a putrescine
Putrescine can be metabolized by reaction with either l-glutamic acid or oxoglutaric acid.

      <name>Putrescine Degradation II</name>
      <description>Several metabolic pathways for putrescine degradation as a source of nitrogen for E. coli K-12 are known. The first putrescine degradation pathway was found in in 1985. That pathway is dedicated to the degradation of intracellular putrescine. A second pathway was found in E. coli K-12 twenty years later. This pathway seems to be dedicated to the degradation of extracellular putrescine.
The pathway was discovered following the discovery of a cluster of seven unassigned genes on the E. coli K-12 chromosome. In addition to a putrescine transporter, encoded by the puuP gene, the cluster contains four genes that encode the enzymes involved in this pathway, and two additional genes (puuE and puuR) that encode an enzyme involved in the catabolism of GABA (see superpathway of 4-aminobutanoate degradation) and a regulator.
In this pathway, putrescine is γ-glutamylated at the expense of an ATP molecule. The resulting γ-glutamyl-putrescine is oxidized to γ-glutamyl-γ-aminobutyraldehyde, which is then dehydrogenated into 4-(glutamylamino) butanoate. In the last step, the γ-glutamyl group is removed by hydrolysis, generating 4-aminobutyrate.
The key difference between this pathway and putrescine degradation I is the γ-glutamylation of putrescine. In the other pathway, putrescine is degraded directly to 4-amino-butanal.
Wild type E. coli cells are unable to utilize putrescine as the sole source of carbon at temperatures above 30°C. It is possible to select for mutants that possess this ability; these mutants contain elevated levels of the enzymes in this pathway. (EcoCyc)</description>

      <name>Spermidine Biosynthesis I</name>
      <description>Spermidine is formed by the addition of a propylamine moiety to putrescine, catalyzed by an aminopropyltransferase termed spermidine synthase, the the product of gene speE. The source of the propylamine group is decarboxylated S-adenosyl-L-methionine (S-adenosyl-L-methioninamine) which is produced by the action of the pyruvoyl-containing enzyme adenosylmethionine decarboxylase. The other product of the aminopropyltransferase reaction is S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine (MTA), which can be recycled back to L-methionine in many organisms, but not in E. coli.
Inhibition of E. coli adenosylmethionine decarboxylase by spermidine appears to be the most significant regulator of polyamine biosynthesis, probably limiting it when the intracellular spermidine concentration becomes excessive. In E. coli most intracellular spermidine is bound to nucleic acids and phospholipids. (EcoCyc)</description>

The later compound in turn reacts with putrescine  resulting in the release of a hydrogen ion, a spermidine and a S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine. S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine in turn reacts with a water molecule through a 5-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase resulting in the release of a adenine and a S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribose which in in turn is released into the environment. </description>
