glycolysis n krebs Flashcards

1
Q

why do we need glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle?

A

ETC is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria which is impermeable to the NADH that has been produced OUTSIDE the mitochondria (like in glycolysis) Howver the NADH produced in the mitochondria is fine because its already there

  1. NADH is used to reuced DHAP giving us glycerol 3 p. by the enzyme glycerol 3 p DH 1
  2. A similar enzyme is located in the outer mitchondrial membrane which glycerol 3 phosphate 2 uses FAD to take the H from glycerol 3 phosphate, reforming DHAP
  3. FADH2 gives the H to co enzyme q

A

in glycolysis when we form ATP when 1,3 biphosphoglycerate gives a phosphate to ADP we form overall 2 atps and also the last step with pyruvate kinase

Q

comparison of hexokinase and glucokinase

A

H

  • found in all cells
  • not specific to just glucose
  • inhibited by product glucose 6 p
  • high affinity for glucose
  • has 4 isoforms
  • not activated by insulin

G

  • found only in liver
  • low affinity for glucose
  • not inhibited by its product
  • is most effective when the level of glucose is high in the blood so after a meal which means its activated insulin

Q

fate of pyruvate

Q

what is the point of citrate shuttle and explain it (draw)

A

need to get the acetyl coa from mitochondria to cytoplasm for e.g fatty acid synthesis

in mitochondria acetyl coa+ oxaloacetate to make citrate
citrate leave mitochondria to go cytoplasm where its cleaved back to products (citrate lyase)

the oxaloacetate, its goal is to be converted back to pyruvate.

  1. reverse of krebs———malate (malate DH)
  2. Malic enzyme - produces Nadph gives pyruvate
    malate+NADP—–pyruvate co2 + NADPH
  3. pyruvate translocase transports to mitochondria
18
Q

anoplerotic reaction

A

pyruvate carboxylase forms oxaloacetate

19
Q

how do we reverse glycolysis

A

7 of the enzymes are the same apart from 3. 2/3 use simple hydrolysis reactions and the other one is split into 2 enzymes

  1. glucokinase
    glucose 6 phosphatase
  2. phosphofructokinase
    fructose 1, 6 biphosphatase
  3. PK
    pyruvate to oxaloacetate =pyruvate carboxylase

oxaloacetate —– phosphoenolpyruvate (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase)

20
Q

when do you mention the malate shuttle

A

glycolysis

gluconeogeneisis

21
Q

fructose 1, 6 bisphosphatase

A

one of the bypass enzymes involved for gluconeogenesis
it breaks down fructose 1, 6 phosphate into fructose 6 phosphate

:) citrate
:(frucots 2, 6 bisphosphate because that is AN IDICATOR OF HIGH GLUCOSE AVAILABILITY

22
Q

what is the role of fructose 2,6 biphosphate

A

is an indicator of high glucose ability

23
Q

pyruvate carboxylase

A

a mitochondrial enzyme
b7
atp
needs acetyl coa (because theres no point of making oxaloacetate if there is no acetyl co a to facilitate krebs

24
Q

where does gluconeogenesis occur

A

cytoplasm!

25
Q

malate aspartate shuttle

A

In order for gluconeogenesis to occur need oxaloacetate which is produced in the mitochondria but gluconeogenesis happens in the cytosol. but oxaloacetate cannot leave through the inner mitochondrial membrane.

route 1- converted to malate
route 2 _ aspartate

26
Q

when do you mention the malate shuttle

A

gluconeogenesis

27
Q

deficiencies regarding gluconeogenesis

A
  • fructose 1,6 biphosphatase
    blocking of gluconeogenesis leading to hypoglycemia and LACTIC ACIDOSIS
    between meals the blood glucose is maintained only by glycogenolysis

Hypoglycemia of the neonate
-brain consumes a lot of glucose
-they have small amount of adipose tissue for an alternative fuel source
the enzymes of gluconeogenesis may not be completely functional at this time
-smaller glucose stores

28
Q

PFK1 isoforms

A

muscle
constitutive
high glycolysis during exercise .

liver
- inducible
- by insulin
specially activated by fructose 2, 6 biphosphaste

37
Q

anoplerotic reaction

A

chemical reactions that form intermediates of a metabolic pathway like krebs. Because the intermediates don’t just have the sole purpose of making atp but other things to

succinyl- heme+porphyrin
oxaloacetate- aa aspartate + glucose
malate-glucose
41
Q

oxidative phosphorylation

A

process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH 2 to O 2 by a series of electron carriers. This process, which takes place in mitochondria, is the major source of ATP in aerobic organisms
