Glycolysis: Functions, pathways, energetics, regulation- Lecture 61 Flashcards
What is the overall reaction of glycolysis?
C6H12O6 + 2NAD+ + 2 Pi –> 2 CH3COCOOH (pyruvate) + 2 ATP + 2 NADH
Gycolysis is the only source of energy for ________ and a major source of energy for _________.
RBCs and normally for the brain
Embryonic tissue, retina, adrenals, some immune cells, exercising muscles
What is the first step of glycolysis?
Glucose + ATP –> Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP + Pi
via hexokinase
Which steps in glycolysis are irreversible?
1, 3, and 10
What is the second step of glycolysis?
G6P –> Fructose 6-P
via phosphoglucoisomerase
What is the third step in glycolysis?
F6P + ATP –> F1,6bisP + ADP
via phosphofructokinase
RATE LIMITING
What regulates the rate limiting step of glycolysis (not in the liver)?
the third step of glycolysis is catalyzed by PFK which is…
inhibited by ATP and citrate
stimulated by AMP, Pi, NH4, F1,6bisP
What kinds of sites does PFK have?
two substrate binding sites (ATP, F6P)
two allosteric inhibitory sites
four allosteric activator sites
What regulates the rate limiting step of glycolysis (in the liver)?
the third step of glycolysis is catalyzed by PFK which is…
insulin stimulates
glucagon inhibits
What is the fourth step of glycolysis?
F1,6bisP < —- > DHAP + G3P
via aldolase
What is the fifth step of glycolysis?
DHAP < —- > G3P
via tripse phosphate isomerase
*note that after this you have two G3P products which can continue (so everything after this step should be doubled)
What is the sixth step of glycolysis?
G3P + NAD+ + Pi < —- > 1,3 bis phosphoglyceric acid + NADH
via gluceraldehyde 3-P dehydrogenase
Note: oxygen independent
_____ is a high energy compound that “traps” energy that would have otherwise been ______.
1,3 bis PGA
released as heat
What is the seventh step of glycolysis?
1,3 bis PGA + ADP < —- > 3 PGA + ATP
via phosphoglycerate kinase
What is substrate level phosphorylation?
the transfer of energy to a high energy intermediate which can produce ATP
