62
Q

Complex I of ETC

NADH-CoQ Oxidoreductase

A
  • Transfers electrons from NADH to Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is catalyzed in first complex
  • Flavoprotein has a coenzyme called flavin mononucleotide (FMN) covalently bound to H
  • NADH transfers its electron to FMN becoming oxidized to NAD+ and FMN Reduced to FMNH2
  • Flavoproteins becomes reoxideized while the Fe-S sub-unit is reduced donating the electron it receives to CoQ (ubiquinone)
  • CoQ becomes CoQH2

65
Q

Q Cycle in ETC

  • 4 Protons are moved to the inner membrane space
66
Q

Cytorchrome C Oxidase

A

Facilitates the culminating step transfer of electrons from cytochrome A and A3 to make up the cytochrome oxidase which gets oxidized as ocygen becomes reduced to form H2O
- Proton pumping moves 2 more proteins across the membrane

Result: 2 Cytochrome C [with Fe2+] + 2H+ + 1/2 O2 —> 2 Cytochrome C [with Fe3+] + H2O

67
Q

Proton Motive Force

A

As [H+} increase in the intermembrane space:

  • pH drops in the intermembrane space
  • voltage difference between the intermembrane space and the matrix increases due to proton pumping

Contributes to the electrochemical gradient having both electrostatic and chemical properties (ATP Synthase will harness this to make ATP)

68
Q

NADH Shuttles

A

NADH cannot directly cross into the mitochondrial matrix a shuttle mechanism transfers the high energy electrons of NADH to a carrier that can cross the inner mitochondrial matrix

69
Q

Glycerol-3-Phosphate Shuttle

A
  • Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase oxidizes cystolic NADH to NAD+ while forming glycerol-3-phosphate from dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)
  • On the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial matrix, another glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase uses FAD as the oxidizing agent, being reduced to FADH2; once reduce, it can transfer its electrons to the ETC via Complex II generating 1.5ATP for every cystolic NADH
70
Q

Malate-Asparate Shuttle

A
  • Cystolic oxaloacetate is reduced to malate by using cystolic malate dehydrogenase; accompanying this reduction is the oxidation of NADH to NAD+
  • Once malate crosses into the matrix, mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase reverse the reaction to form NADH which can now pass its electrons to the ETC via Compex I generating 2.5ATP
  • Recycling malate requires oxidation to oxaloacetate which can be transaminated to form aspartate which can cross freely back into the cytosol and being the cycle anew.
71
Q

72
Q

74
Q

A

Utilizes the energy releases from the electrochemical gradient to phosphorylate ADP to ATP

75
Q

Conformation Coupling in Oxidative Phosphorylation

A

Relationship between the proton gradient and ATP synthesis is indirect; ATP is released by the synthase as a result of conformational change in the gradient.
- The F1 portion is like a turbine spinning within a stationary compartment to facilitate the harnessing of gradient energy for chemical bonding

76
Q

Regulation of Oxidative Phosphorylation

A
  • Is O2 is limited, oxidative phosphorylation will decrease and [NADH], [FADH2] will both increase
  • Respiratory control = coordination of regulation of the above pathways
  • With adequate O2, oxidative phosphorylation id dependent on the availability of ADP
