6-phosphoglucono lactone

56
Q

in the oxidative PPP, 6-phosphoglucono lactone gets turned into ____with the help of lactonase

A

ribose 5 phosphate, which can make nucleotides and stuff. ribulose 5 phosphate —>ribose 5 phosphate is catalyzed via phosphopentose isomerase

59
Q

what happens to the oxidative branch of the PPP when NADPH conc is high?

A

it gets turned off, glucose 6 phosphate goes to glycolysis

60
Q

what happens when the body WANTS ribose and NADPH conc is low?

A

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is active and makes 6phosphoglucanolactone, initiating oxidative PPP to make ribose

61
Q

what happens when u want NADPH but not ribose?

A

oxidative branch will run, making nadph and ribose. excess ribose will funnel into glycolysis by making glycolytic intermediates through non-oxidative phosphate pentose pathway

62
Q

what happens whn you want NADPH, but NOT RIBOSE, but ATP is high?

A

NADPH is wanted, there for oxidative pathway is running, making ribose as well. PPP intermediates cannot go to glycolysis because it is turned off due to high ATP, so they route through the GLUCONEOGENESIS pathway, which can also form g6p and such

63
Q

with inhibitory proteins that can regulate hexokinase/glucokinase in the liver, how are they upregulated? down regulated?

A

upregulated ALLOSTERICALLY by increased levels of fructose 6 phosphate, which increases with glucokinases’ product glc 6 up

downregulated by increase levels of glucose, which signals “time to make glycogen,” because high levels of glucose turn into G6P, which is needed for glycogen

64
Q

with no large amount of ATP in the system, fructose phospho kinase 1 will assume a _____ shape

A

bell shape, there will be no inhibitor

65
Q

with large amount of ATP in the system, fructose phospho kinase 1 will assume a _____ shape

A

sigmoidal shape, ATP allosterically inhibits PFK by binding to T state on the inhibitor site.

66
Q

what happens when you want ribose, but the concentration of NADPH is high?

A

You cannot go through the oxidative PPP because NADPH is too high, so you use glycolytic intermediates (gA3p, fru6p), pull them out of glycolysis and make them undergo the nonoxidative pathway with transaldolases and transketolases to form ribose-5-phosphate

reference notes

72
Q

two enzymes in alcoholic fermentation

A

pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase

73
Q

T/F: Conversion of glucose to lactate is an net oxidation

A

false. Converting glucose first forms 2 pyruvates (+2 NADH), and then makes 2 lactates from the 2 pyruvates. (-2NADH). thus there is no net of NADH formation. nothing was net oxidized.
