Q

Stage two Glycolysis (1)

  • Substrate to Products/ Enzyme
A
  • Fructose 1,6-biphosphate (splits)
    • ⇔ Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP)/ Aldolase
    • Dihydroxyacetone phosphate/Aldolase
      • Dihydroxyacetone phosphate ⇔ Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP)/triose phosphate isomerase

So there are 2 GAPs produced from 1 Glucose => phase 3 has twice the substrate

Q

Stage Three of Glycolysis

  • Substrate to Products/ Enzyme
A
  • Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) ⇔ 1,3-biphosphoglycerate/ GAPDH (Pi, NAD+ ⇔ NADH)
  • 1,3-Biphosphoglycerate ⇔ 3-Phosphoglycerate/ Phosphoglycerate kinase
  • 3-Phosphoglycerate ⇔ 2- Phosphoglycerate/ Phosphoglycerate mutase
  • 2- Phosphoglycerate ⇔ Phosphoenolpyruvate/ Enolase (​H2O released)
  • Phosphoenolpyruvate⇒ Pyruvate/ Pyruvate kinase (ATP to ADP)

Q

What is the strategy of the initial steps of glycolysis? (2)

A
  1. Trap the glucose in the cell
  2. Form a compound that can be cleaved into 2, phosphorylated, three-carbon units

Q

Sumarize Phase 3 Glycolysis:

A

3 steps: producing x2 Pyruvate

  • GAPDH
  • Phosphoglycerate kinase/mutase
  • Enolase/pyruvate kinase
17
Q

What is the rate-limitting step in Glycolysis?

A

Phosphoenolpyruvate to Pyruvate

18
Q

What are the different fates of pyruvate depending on the presence or absence of O2?

A

with O2: Aerobic respiration; Pyruvate to TCA cycle

without O2: Anaerobic respiration; Pyruvate reduced to Lactate

19
Q

In what tissues is glycolysis regulated:

A
  • In muscle - to meet need for ATP during Exercise
  • In Liver - in response to biochemical diversity and need
20
Q

How is Glycolysis regulated in muscle tissues during rest?

What about Glycogen?

A
  • Hexokinase is inhibited by Glucose 6-phosphate
  • Phosphofructokinase (PFK) and Pyruvate Kinase are inhibited by ATP
  • Glucose 6-phosphate is converted to glycogen
21
Q

How is glycolysis regulated in muscle tissues during exercise?

What about Glycogen?

A
  • PFK is stimulated by low energy AMP
  • Fructose 1,6 biphosphate feedforward stimulation of Pyruvate kinase
  • Glycogen is converted to Glucose 6-phosphate
22
Q

How is glycolysis regulated in the liver?

A
  • Phosphofuctokinase (PFK)
    • Activated by Fructose-2,6-BP
    • Inhibited by citrate
  • Glucokinase is NOT inhibted by glucose 6-phosphate (like hexokinase in other tissues) therefore, glucose is permanently trapped
  • Pyruvate kinase is regulated by allosteric effectors and covalent modification
23
Q

How does [Insulin] and [Glucagon] affect Phosphofructokinase (PFK) in the liver?

A
  • High Insulin/low glucagon: stimulates protein phosphatases which stimulates PFK-2 to produce Fructose 2,6BP which stimulates PFK-1
  • Low insulin/high glucagon increases [cAMP] which stimulates Protein kinase A which stimulates PFK-2 to produce Fructose 6-P
24
Q

How does [Insulin] and [Glucagon] affect Pyruvate Kinase (PK) in the liver?

A
  • high insulin/low glucagon: stimulates protein phosphatases which stimulates PK
  • low insulin/high glucagon: increases [cAMP] which stimulates protein kinase A which inhibits PK
25
Q

how is Glucokinase regulated by blood glucose?

A

low blood glucose = inhibition - don’t want to trap glucose

26
Q

What is the fate of pyruvate under Aerobic Fasting conditions?

A
