Pseudouridine is phosphorylated by interacting with atp and a psuK resulting in the release of an ADP, a hydrogen ion and a pseudouridine 5'-phosphate. The latter compound then reacts with water through a pseudouridine 5'-phosphate glycosidase resulting in the release of a uracil and D-ribofuranose 5-phosphate

The process of oleic acid B-oxidation starts with a 2-trans,5-cis-tetradecadienoyl-CoA that can be either be processed by an enoyl-CoA hydratase by interacting with a water molecules resulting in a 3-hydroxy-5-cis-tetradecenoyl-CoA, which can be oxidized in the fatty acid beta-oxidation. On the other hand 2-trans,5-cis-tetradecadienoyl-CoA can become a 3-trans,5-cis-tetradecadienoyl-CoA through a isomerase. This results interact with a water molecule through a acyl-CoA thioesterase resulting in a hydrogen ion, a coenzyme A and a 3,5-tetradecadienoate

D-ribulose 5-phosphate interacts with a3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate synthase resulting in the release of formic acid, a hydrogen ion and 1-deoxy-L-glycero-tetrulose 4-phosphate. A 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil and 1-deoxy-L-glycero-tetrulose 4-phosphate interact through a 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase resulting in the release of 2 water molecules, a phosphate, a hydrogen ion and a 6,7-dimethyl-8-(1-D-ribityl)lumazine. The latter compound then interacts with a hydrogen ion through a riboflavin synthase resulting in the release of a riboflavin and a 5-amino-6-(d-ribitylamino)uracil. The riboflavin is then phosphorylated through an ATP dependent riboflavin kinase resulting in the release of a ADP, a hydrogen ion and a FLAVIN MONONUCLEOTIDE. The flavin mononucleotide interad with a hydrogen ion and an ATP through the riboflavin kinase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and Flavin Adenine dinucleotide. This compound is then exported into the periplasm through a FMN/FAD exporter.

Menaquinol biosynthesis starts with chorismate being metabolized into isochorismate through a isochorismate synthase. Isochorismate then interacts with 2-oxoglutare and a hydrogen ion through a 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate synthase resulting in the release of a carbon dioxide and a 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate.

This compound is the dehydrated through a o-succinylbenzoate synthase resulting in the release of a water molecule and a 2-succinylbenzoate. This compound then interacts with a coenzyme A and an ATP through a o-succinylbenzoate CoA ligase resulting in the release of a diphosphate, a AMP and a succinylbenzoyl-CoA. The latter compound interacts with a hydrogen ion through a 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA synthase resulting in the release of a water molecule or a 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA. This compound then interacts with water through a 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA thioesterase resulting in the release of a coenzyme A, a hydrogen ion and a 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate. The 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate can interact with either farnesylfarnesylgeranyl-PP or octaprenyl diphosphate and a hydrogen ion through a 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate octaprenyltransferase resulting in a release of a carbon dioxide, a pyrophosphate and a demethylmenaquinol-8. This compound then interacts with SAM through a bifunctional 2-octaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone methylase and S-adenosylmethionine:2-DMK methyltransferase resulting in a hydrogen ion, a s-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and a menaquinol.

Cardiolipin (CL) is an important component of the inner mitochondrial membrane where it constitutes about 20% of the total lipid composition. It is essential for the optimal function of numerous enzymes that are involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism (Wikipedia). Cardiolipin biosynthesis occurs mainly in the mitochondria, but there also exists an alternative synthesis route for CDP-diacylglycerol that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum. This second route may supplement this pathway. All membrane-localized enzymes are coloured dark green in the image. First, dihydroxyacetone phosphate (or glycerone phosphate) from glycolysis is used by the cytosolic enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [NAD(+)] to synthesize sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. Second, the mitochondrial outer membrane enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase esterifies an acyl-group to the sn-1 position of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to form 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA). Third, the enzyme 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase converts LPA into phosphatidic acid (PA or 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate) by esterifying an acyl-group to the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. PA is then transferred to the inner mitochondrial membrane to continue cardiolipin synthesis. Fourth, magnesium-dependent phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase catalyzes the conversion of PA into CDP-diacylglycerol. Fifth, CDP-diacylglycerol--glycerol-3-phosphate 3-phosphatidyltransferase synthesizes phosphatidylglycerophosphate (PGP). Sixth, phosphatidylglycerophosphatase and protein-tyrosine phosphatase dephosphorylates PGP to form phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Last, cardiolipin synthase catalyzes the synthesis of cardiolipin by transferring a phosphatidyl group from a second CDP-diacylglycerol to PG. It requires a divalent metal cation cofactor.
