Q

break down the general two steps of glycolysis

A

stage 1. traps glucose in the cell and modifies it so that it can be cleaved into a pair of phosphorylated 3-carbon compount

Q

what enzyme traps glucose in the cell and begins glycolysis

A

hexokinase

upon entering the cell through a specific transport protein, glucose is phosphorylated at the expense of ATP to form glucose-6-phosphate

hexokinase, which requires Mg+2 or Mn+2 as a cofactor, catalyzes the reaction

glucose 6 phosphate cannot pass through the membrane to the extracellular side

addition of phosphoryl group facilitates metabolism

Q

why does PEP phosphenolpyruvate have such a high phosphoryl-transfer potential?

A

tautomerization. phosphoryl group traps pyruvate in an unstable enol form. when transfer of phosphoryl group is complete, enol converts to more stable ketone (pyruvate)

23
Q

enzymes catalyzing irreversible reaction in the metabolic pathway are potential CONTROL SITES

in glycolysis, these enzymes are ___,____,____

A

hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase

24
Q

_________________ is the key regulator of glycolysis in mammals. the enzyme is allosterically ________ by ATP and allosterically ______ by AMP

(reverse process) when ATP needs are great, _______ generates ATP from 2 ADP. AMP then becomes the signal for low energy state

A

inhibited by ATP and allosterically stimulated by AMP

adenylated kinase

25
_________, released by pancreatic alpha cells when blood sugar is low, actives the phosphatase fuction of PFK-2
glucagon.... this is hormonal regulation also glucagon is then acting as a positive regulator for activation of PK2 therfore reducing the level of fructose 2,6, bisphospate ???? inconsistant
26
______ released by pancreatic beta cells when blood glucose levels are high. the effects of this substance on glycolysis include activation of the kinase function PFK-2 which increases levels of fructose 2,6-bispohophate in the cell, in turn increasing glycolytic flux.
???? inconsistant
27
hexokinase is allosterically _________
inhibited by glucose 6-phosphate
28
pyruvate kinase is __________ and ________ stimulated by fructose 1-,6 bisphosphate the product of phosphofructokinase reaction
pyruvate kinase is inhibited by the allosteric signals ATP and alanine, and stimulated by fructose 1, 6- bisphosphate, the product of phosphofrcutokinase reaction
29
in the muscle, _______ is regulated to meet the energy needs of contraction
glycolysis
30
the key regulators of phosphofructokinase in liver are citrate which reports on the status of the citric acid cycle, and ___________
fructose 2,6- bisphosphate citrate inhibits phosphofructokinase while fructose 2,6 bisphosphate is a powerful activator
31
__________ is a form of the hexokinase found in hepatocytes. the high Km of glucokinase for glucose means that this enzyme is saturated only at very high concentrations of substrate.
glucokinase glucokinase is active only after a meal, when blood glucose levels are high, this feature of hepatic glucokinase allows the liver to buffer blood glucose
32
radpidly growing tumors obain ATP by metabolizing glucose to lactate even in presence of oxygen. a process termed aerobic glycolysis or the __________
Warburg effect
33
the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 (HIF-1) faciliates aerobic glycolysis. exercise training also timulates HIF-1 which enhances the ability to generate ATP anaerobically and stimulate new blood vessel growth

34
Insulin!
Insulin is secreted by β cells of the pancreas in response to high blood levels of glucose. This secretion is stimulated by the metabolism of glucose by the β cells. Glucose enters β cells through GLUT2 and is metabolized to pyruvate, and the pyruvate is subsequently oxidized to CO2 and H2O. The increase in ATP closes a K+ channel, which alters the charge across the cell membrane. This alteration in turn opens Ca2+ channels. The influx of Ca2+ ions stimulates the release of insulin.
