What is the Rhyme for remembering Glycolysis Enzymes?

What is allosteric regulation?

mechanism of control: effector binds to regulator site and induces conformational change to influence activity.

What are isozymes?

2 genes that encode proteins with similar functions

What are the two isozymes of phosphofructokinase? What do they do?

Phosphofructokianse-1 (PFK-1) = catalyses reaction 3 Phosphofructokianse-2 (PFK-2) synthesises F-2,6BP (allosteric regulator of PFK-1) Both control rate of glycolysis via allosteric regulation

What are allosteric inhibitor examles?

ATP and Citrate

What are allosteric activator examples?

F2,6BP, ADP and AMP =

What activates PFK1?

F2,6BP

What is the nature of the two binding sites on PFK1?

1- high affinity for F6P 2- low affinity for F6P

What are the three modes of regulation of glycolysis?

1. Difference between hexokinase and glucokinase Km vales 2. phosphofructokinase controls rate of glycolysis 3. Pyruvate kinase: allosteric regulation

What happens to glyclosys at a HIGH ATP?

Glycolysis slows down. ATP binds to PFK1 and decreases it's affinity for F6P.

What can AMP do to regulate glyclyosis?

Is an Allosteric activator: can displace ATP and increase affinity (lower Km)

What is F2,6BP regulated by?

Insulin and glucagon

What is the effect of Insulin on PFK2, F2,6BP and glycolysis?

promotes PFK2 activity, increases F2,6BP and glycolysis levels

What is the effect of glucagon on PFK1, F2,6BP, glycolysis and F2,6Bpase?

increases F2,6Bpase activity, decreases F2,6BP, PFK1 and glycolysis levels.

How does Pyruvate Kinase provide allosteric regulation?

via allosteric effector and phosphorylation Insulin = dephosphorylation = active Glucagon = phosphorylation = inactive

What is one major structural difference between fructose and glucose?

Glucose = aldehyde group Fructose= ketone group

Where is the major site of metabolism for Fructose?

The Kidneys

Where is lactase located?

in the brush border/microvilli of cells in the small intestine

what is lactase essential for?

complete digestion of milk

what are the three enzymes used in galactose breakdown?

Galactokinase (GALK) Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase UDP-galactose-4'-epimerase

is NAD+ in an oxidised or reduced state?

oxidised

what happens to NAD+ in the 6th step?

it is reduced: adds a H ion and becomes NADH2

What type of reaction is step 6 (G3P Dehydrogenase)?

redox reaction

Which steps are regulated?

the irreversible ones

where do ADP and AMP come from?

ATP

What occurs if there is too much ADP and AMP?

As they are products of ATP, it indicates that there is not enough ATP in the body. Sends a message to the enzyme via a negative feedback loop to increase ATP synthesis. Km decreases so moves in the forward direction (less substrate needed).

What is the role of insulin in hormonal control of phosphofructokinase-2?

increases the transcription of genes that make glucose. UP REGULATION

What is the role of glucagon in hormonal control of phosphofructokinase-2?

DOWN REGULATION increases production of gene that makes glycogen in the liver.

How (generally) is glucose transported to tissues?

monosaccharides absorbed from the intestine after being digested in diet, enter the blood and then travel to tissue where can be metabolized.

what organs are involved in the metabolism of glucose?

kidney and liver

what occurs after glucose is transported to cells?

hexokianse phosphorylates glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. This can then enter three common processes: a- glycolysis b-pentose phosphate pathway -glycogen synthesis

what is the major fate of glucose-6-phosphate in the body?

oxidation via glycolysis

what are the hormones of metabolic homeostasis?

insulin and glucagon

What is different from fructose metabolism versus glucose metabolism

Regulated reaction of Phosphofructokinase is avoided. Excess fructose can exhaust Aldolase B and use ATP up. same ATP and pyruvate yield.

what is dominanat in a fasted state?

g) Glycogen = gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis and ketogenesis increased

How is galactose transported into a cell

facilitated by Na transporter Glut1, glut2 and Glut12

What is the difference between glycogen and glucagon?

Glycogen is how glucose is stored in the body. Glucagon is the hormone that triggers liver glycogen to convert back into glucose
