Glycolysis II Flashcards
What are the last five intermediates of glycolysis?
- 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
- 3-phosphoglycerate
- Phosphoglycerate
- Phosphoenolpyruvate
- Pyruvate
The last five steps of glycolysis are sometimes called the “_________________ _____________” phase.
Energy payoff
The sixth step of glycolysis converts glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to ________________________________________________ via __________ __________________________________.
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
GAP dehydrogenase
What is the mechanism for GAP dehydrogenase?
Redox reaction
As a redox reaction, step 6 of glycolysis requires what cofactor?
NAD+
What amino acid residue acts as a nucleophile in GAP dehydrogenase?
Cysteine
What is the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate?
GAP dehydrogenase
What is the mechanism for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) dehydrogenase?
- The cysteine residue in the enzyme acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon at C1
- This attack ultimately kicks out a hydride, which then attacks the NAD+ molecule
- The enzyme is covalently bound to the molecule; an inorganic phosphate attacks the carbonyl carbon at C1, expelling the enzyme
- 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is formed
In addition to being a redox reaction, the sixth step of glycolysis - the formation of 1,3BPG - also involves what type of catalysis?
Covalent catalysis
The sixth step of glycolysis requires the cofactor NAD+ and what other molecule to form 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate?
Inorganic phosphate
What is the seventh step of glycolysis?
The formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate via phosphoglycerate kinase
Is the sixth step of glycolysis reversible?
Yes
- The cysteine residue in the enzyme acts as a nucleophile, attacking the C1 of carbonyl and expelling inorganic phosphate
- The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in NADH move and expel a hydride ion, which attacks the enzyme-transition state intermediate carbonyl and ultimately “kicks out” the enzyme
- Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate has been reformed
What position does glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase prefer on NADH: the proR or the proS?
ProS
What enzyme catalyzes the seventh step of glycolysis - the formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate?
Phosphoglycerate kinase
What type of phosphorylation does the seventh step of glycolysis catalyze?
Substrate-level phosphorylation of ADP to ATP
What is the mechanism of phosphoglycerate kinase?
Phosphoryl transfer - nucleophilic attack of the acyl phosphate on 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate by the oxygen atom on ADP’s beta phosphate group
Phosphoglycerate kinase is named for its reverse direction. What is the mechanism for the reverse?
The eighth step of glycolysis converts 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate. What enzyme catalyzes this reaction?
Phosphoglycerate mutase
Phosphoglycerate mutase requires a phosphorylated amino acid residue in its active site to function. What amino acid residue is it?
Histidine
