Crunchtime Flashcards
How is PFK-1 activated?
non-covalent allosteric activation by AMP, ADP and F-2,6-BP (important in liver)
How is PFK-1 inhibited?
Elevated ATP and Citrate
- ATP is a substrate, but if it becomes too high, it starts binding to the allosteric site
What inhibits Hexokinase?
G6P
What inhibits Glucokinase?
F6P, activates Glucokinase Inhibitory Protein and causes sequestration of Glucokinase
MODY2
inhibitory mutation of Glucokinase
- not enough uptake of glucose
PHHI
Activating mutation of Glucokinase
- too much Insulin
How does fructose increase glucose usage?
F1P inhibits the binding of GKRP to Glucokinase
What does Adenylate Kinase do and what is its significance
Adenylate Kinase interconverts 2 ADP <-> AMP+ATP
- AMP is an extremely sensitive indicator of [ATP] change
Inhibition of Pyruvate Kinase
1) ATP
2) Alanine: Inhibits PK to prevent PEP from being converted back to Pyruvate, after being converted to OAA in gluconeogenesis
3) Phosphorylation via PKA: low glucose in liver = glucagon = activation of PKA = phosphorylation of PK = inhibition of glycolysis/activation of gluconeogenesis
Activation of Pyruvate Kinase
High concentrations of F16BP
Produced by PFK1, so feedforward regulation
Glucokinase Inhibitory Protein (aka GKRP)
Found in the liver, binds glucokinase and keeps it in the nucleus
- inhibited by F1P, stimulating glucokinase activity
Which reaction in the PPP produces CO2?
6PGA DH
NADP -> NADPH + CO2
What does Arginiosuccinate synthetase produce?
Uses ATP to produce AMP and PPi
Glutamine synthetase uses NH3 and ?
ATP to produce ADP + Pi
What is the enzymes that facilitates the loopy part of galactose metabolism
G1P-Uridyl Transferase
