| | L-Threonine Usage And Synthesis |
| Essential amino acids | Isolation and identification of Threonine from the fiber protein hydrolyzate by W. C. Rose in 1935, has proved that it was the last essential amino acids. It is extremely important physiological role in animals, because it is the second or third limiting amino acids for livestock. Such as promoting growth, enhance immune function, etc. Balancing the dietary amino acids to make the ratio of close to the ideal protein, and reducing the protein content of livestock feed requirements. Lacking of threonine, may lead to reduce feed intake, growth retardation, decrease feed efficiency, and suppress immune function and other symptoms. In recent years, lysine, methionine synthesis product has widely used in feed, threonine become the limiting factor affected animal performance gradually. Further study of threonine could help to the livestock and poultry production effectively.
Threonine cannot synthesize by animals, however, it is an essential amino acids for them to balance the composition of amino acids precisely to meet the need to animal growth, improve weight and lean meat, reduce the feed conversion. Threonine also can increase the value of feed raw materials of lower amino acid digestibility, and improve the production performance of low-energy feed. Besides, Threonine can reduce feed crude protein levels and improve feed nitrogen utilization, and reduce feed costs. So Threonine can be used for pigs, chickens, ducks and senior aquatic breeding and farming.
L- threonine is based on bio-engineering principles by using corn starch and other raw materials through submerged fermentation, refined and produced feed additives. L- threonine could adjust the balance of amino acid in feed, promote growth, improve meat quality and improve ncrease the value of feed raw materials of lower amino acid digestibility and produce the low protein feed, save protein resources, reduce the cost of feed ingredients, reduce the nitrogen content of manure and urine and decrease the concentration and release rate of animal building ammonia. L- threonine has used to add in piglet feed, pig feed, chicken feed, shrimp feed and eel feed widely.
Fig. 1 Threonine Structure | | Physiological function | Protein is composed of peptides, peptide chain of peptides is composed of amino acids, and amino acids are the constituent units of the protein. Different proteins are made of amino acids in a different order and length of the peptide chain. Actually gene which related to hereditary is an amino acid chain in a different order.
At present, there are 28 kinds of human-related amino acids in total, in these amino acids, there are 9 kinds of amino acids (about 32%) is required from dietary directly, which the human body cannot intake the proteins synthetic by other amino acids. They are leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, tryptophan, threonine, phenylalanine and histidine, while histidine still not clearly. Generally considered that histidine is essential amino acids for the age of 4 infants, while it could be synthesized for elders. Non-essential amino acids are important as well; sometimes their functions are much more important than essential amino acids. Such as taurine, arginine and glutamine, in some disease or stress conditions, they are very important, so called conditionally essential amino acids.
Threonine is essential amino acids, which helps the body maintain protein balance. It plays a role in the formation of collagen and elastin proteins. When threonine, aspartate and methionine combined, they could resist fatty liver. Threonine present in the heart, the central nervous system and skeletal muscle that could prevent the accumulation of fat in the liver. It can promote the production of antibodies to enhance the immune system as well.
In foods, cereals threonine content is low, therefore vegetarian prone to threonine deficiency.
The information received by the Xiaonan editor of Chemicalbook.
| | Metabolism | Threonine is the only one that not through deamination and transamination in the body's metabolism, but directly catalysed by threonine dehydratase, threonine dehydrogenase and threonine aldolase to other amino acids, such as threonine can be converted to butyryl coenzyme A, succinyl-coenzyme a, serine, glycine, etc. In addition, excessive of threonine can increase activity of lysine -α- keto gluconate reductase, adding the appropriate amount of threonine can be eliminated weight decreased, liver, muscle tissue protein / deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) / DNA ratio decreased caused by excessive lysine in the diet. Adding threonine also could reduce the suppression growth caused by of excessive tryptophan, or methionine. According to reports, the chicken to absorb threonine mostly in the duodenum, threonine turned to be liver protein after absorbed in crop and glandular stomach and deposition in the body. However, the detailed mechanisms of how threonine to participate synthesis protein is still unclear.

| | Applications | 1.Threonine is an important nutritional supplement which could fortify cereals, pastries, dairy products, restore the body as fatigue, and promote growth and development like tryptophan. Due to its structure contained threonine hydroxyl,which could held the water on human skin and combined with the oligosaccharide chains to protect cell membranes. Threonine plays an important role in the body, promoted phospholipid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation in the Medicine field as well.
2.For biochemical research, the pharmaceutical amino acids could be a nutritional medicine to cure anemia primarily.
3.Amino acid as medicines is mainly used in amino acid infusion, comprehensive amino acid preparations and food nutrition fortifier. Such as the lack of threonine can cause loss of appetite, weight loss, fatty liver, testicular atrophy, anterior pituitary cells, dyeing changes and bone development. Adverse reactions Contraindications: When an adult infusion 22.5g, can cause fever, headaches and other adverse reactions.
4.Nutritional supplements. To meet the need of cereal protein, L- lysine is the first, another is L- threonine. Even though the content of L- threonine is high, the binding between peptide and threonine is difficult to hydrolysis, and not easy to absorb and digest.
It is also could be used in preparation of amino acid infusion and comprehensive amino acid preparations.
5.One of the essential amino acids in human body, it can be used to improve nutrition and physical fitness.
| | Production method | 1.Hydrolysized the natural protein (sericin, casein, fibroin, etc.) with high content of Threonine, separated and refined by ion exchange resin.
DL- threonine were made from glycine copper and acetaldehyde reaction (see "DL- threonine"), in the resulting solution of DL- threonine inoculated within L- type crystals that only carry out the L- optical resolution and get L- histidine.
2.Direct fermentation method
Glucose as raw material, breeding auxotrophic synthesis and structural analogues feedback inhibition and repression to L- threonine acid production was 18g / L, Corynebacterium glutamic acid production was 14g / L, clayey race bacilli rate 14g / L.
Glucose [Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium glutamicum, clayey race bacillus] → L-threonine
3.Chemical synthesis
Threonine is a mixture of four optical isomers after chemical synthesis, named DL- threonine.
L-shaped threonine is the composition of protein, therefore Su should be separated from others, and further isolate the optical isomers to get L- threonine.
similar aldol reaction when Copper with glycine and acetaldehyde under alkaline conditions to get the mixture of Su copper body and other body. According to their stability and solubility, he copper removal can be seprate to DL- threonine, L- threonine was finally isolated.
