Nutritional Aspects of C1 Unit Metabolism in Heterotrophic Tissues and Organisms (Excluding Prokaryotes) Under Particular Respect to Dissolved Organic Nitrogen (DON) from the Environment

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 65))

Abstract

One-carbon (C1 unit) metabolism is essential to all eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In plants and fungi it supplies the C1 units required for the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids (purines), some vitamins, and methylated compounds such as lignin, alkaloids or betaines (Fig. 1).

Summarizing sketch of reactions of folate biosynthesis and C1 unit metabolism in higher plants and fungi as covered in this review. Numbers refer to enzymes cited in Table 1 (column 1)

Thus it is involved in such different physiological aspects such as regulation and differentiation via DNA and vitamin metabolism, cell wall formation and extension (lignin and pectin), osmoregulation (betaines), secondary plant metabolism (alkaloids), amino acid metabolism, internal and external detoxification (cyanides) or utilization of N- and C-containing solutes abundant in the external environment. Additionally it plays an important role in photorespiration of photosynthetic C3 plants.
