Phosphofructokinase

A

3rd step in Glycolysis
Fructose-6-P to Fructose-1,6-Bis : phosphorylation round 2

Why is this reaction important?

When cleavage splits to 3 carbon molecules in step 4,
each will have a phosphate

PFK-I and PFK-II play a central role in glycolysis regulation

difference between “bis” phosphate vs. “di” phosphate.

Q

How does this reaction help “pull” Glyceraldehyde-3-P into the later stages of glycolysis instead of conversion to DHAP?

A

Q

The GAPDH and PGK reactions are coupled

to drive production of both NADH and ATP.

A

GAP + Pi + NAD—-> + 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate + NADH ΔGo’ = +6.7 kJ/mol

1,3-BPG + ADP —-> 3-Phosphoglycerate + ATP ΔGo’= -18.8kJ/mol

Exergonic net reaction drives GAP enter later stages of glycolysis.

Phosphoglycerate mutase

A

8th step in Glycolysis 3 phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglylcerate: phosphate transfer

Q

Phosphoglycerate mutase (phosphoryl shift)

A

Mutases cause intramolecular shift of a chemical group.
For phosphoglycerate mutase, this is mediated by a histidine.

The process involves a 2,3-bisphosphate intermediate.

Q

How an intermediate in glycolysis influences the affinity of hemoglobin for O2.

A

(top)There’s less oxygen in the atmosphere, I’m so glad for 2,3 BPG!

More 2,3 BPG in red blood cells is way of compensating for the lower O2 that is in the air at high

Q

Hyperventilation

A

(at low atmospheric O2) raises the pH of blood.

Le Chatelier’s principle
“Respiratory Alkalosis”

18
Q

What happens when the pH of the blood goes up?

A

The affinity of hemoglobin for O2 goes up with increasing pH, holding onto the O2 and keeping it from entering muscles, brain, and all other O2 consuming tissues.

19
Q

Synthesis of 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate in ERYTRHOCYTES

A

The amount of 2,3 BPG in erythrocytes increases when the pH of blood
increases

Bisphosphoglycerate mutase is primarily found in erythrocytes.

20
Q

Inherited diseases involving 2,3 BPG

A

Higher affinity of O2 for hemoglobin. Less gets into
muscles.

Glycolysis blocked at final step, much more O2 getting
into muscles.

21
Q

Enolase and Pyruvate Kinase

A

9th and 10th steps in Glycolysis.
Second phase of making ATP!

Two more (for a total of 4) ATP are made for a net gain of 2 ATP in glycolysis.

Substrate level phosphorylation again…

22
Q

phosphoenolpyruvate

A

Very favorable transfer of phosphate from “super-charged” phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP to make ATP

23
Q

1,3 Bisphosphoglycerate

A

Transfer of phosphate from #1 position of 1,3- Bisphosphoglycerate to ATP = lower energy.

24
Q

The Investment Phase

A

Driving force for the TIM reaction is the “siphoning off” of Glyceraldehyde 3 P into the final stages of glycolysis.

25
Q

How to regenerate NAD+?

A

• One pathway is through the mitochondria, making more ATP via the TCA cycle (aerobic).

• Another is anaerobic, without O2 or mitochondria.
30
1. How our muscles regenerate NAD+.
2. How NAD+ regenerates in yeast (the beer making phase!)

26
Q
  1. Anaerobic fate of pyruvate

muscle

A

• This reaction is referred to as “homolactic fermentation”
– no net change in oxidation state of the carbons.

• Glycolysis to lactate is referred to as “anaerobic glycolysis”.

27
Q
  1. Anaerobic fate of pyruvate

yeast

A

This reaction is referred to as “alcoholic fermentation”.

*We also will encounter TPP in pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) reaction.

28
Q

Structure & Function of Thiamine Pyrophosphate

A

The cofactor, TPP is used as a coenzyme for de-carboxylations of α-keto acids. It is derived from thiamine (Vitamin B1) by transfer of a pyrophosphate group from ATP to thiamine, yielding TPP and AMP.

29
Q

Aldehyde dehydrogenase

A

2 forms of aldehyde dehydrogenase:
mitochondrial and cytoplasmic

NOTE: Some people (particularly in Asian populations) have a less active form of the mitochondrial form of aldehyde dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde accumulates in blood.

30
Q

step 2

A

Phosphoglucose Isomerase

The second reaction of glycolysis is the rearrangement of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) into fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) by glucose phosphate isomerase (Phosphoglucose Isomerase).

31
Q

step 3

A

Phosphofructokinase

Phosphofructokinase, with magnesium as a cofactor, changes fructose 6-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

32
Q

step 4

A

Aldolase

The enzyme Aldolase splits fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate into two sugars that are isomers of each other. These two sugars are dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP).

33
Q

Step 5

A

Triphosphate isomerase

The enzyme triophosphate isomerase rapidly inter- converts the molecules dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP). Glyceraldehyde phosphate is removed / used in next step of Glycolysis.

34
Q

Step 6

A

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) dehydrogenates and adds an inorganic phosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, producing 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

35
Q

Step 7

A

Phosphoglycerate Kinase

Phosphoglycerate kinase transfers a phosphate group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADP to form ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate.

36
Q

Step 8

A

Phosphoglycerate Mutase

The enzyme phosphoglycero mutase relocates the P from 3- phosphoglycerate from the 3rd carbon to the 2nd carbon to form 2-phosphoglycerate.

37
Q

Step 9

A

Enolase

The enzyme enolase removes a molecule of water from 2-phosphoglycerate to form phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEP).

38
Q

Step 10

A
