Lecture 32 Flashcards
What does Hexokinase catylyze?
Glucose to Glucose-6-Phosphate
What inhibits hexokinase?
Glucose-6-Phosphate
How does Glucose-6-Phosphate affect Hexokinase?
It inhibits hexokinase
How what is G6P to Hexokinase?
It is a negative allosteric effector
What does G6P inhibiting hexokinase do?
It reduces the rate that glucose is converted to G6P
What kind of regulation is it for G6P to inhibit hexokinase?
Product inhibition
What does PFK-1 catalyze?
The conversion of Fructose-6-P to Fructose-1,6-BP
What is PFK-1 allosterically regulated by?
ADP/AMP and PEP
What kind of inhibition is PEP regulating PFK-1?
Feedback inhibition
What is a good indicator of the need for ATP in a cell?
ADP/AMP concentrations
When do ADP and AMP concentrations increase?
When a cell is consuming ATP
What is ADP and AMP to PFK-1?
A positive heteroallosteric effector of PFK-1
What is ATP to PFK-1?
An inhibitor of PFK-1
What is PFK-1 sensitive to?
The energy needs of the cell
Why is ATP complex with it regulation of PFK-1?
Because it is also a substrate of PFK-1
What is ATP to PFK-1?
It is a homoallosteric inhibitor (which is rare). This is because it is a substrate but it is also a product
What does Pyruvate kinase catalyse?
The conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to Pyruvate
What would happen if pyruvate kinase is inhibited?
The levels of phosphoenolpyruvate will increase which then inhibits PFK-1
What does elevated PEP signal?
The products of glycolysis are not being consumed
What is F-6-P for PFK-1?
A positive homoallosteric effector because it is a substrate and an activator?
How would increasing concentration of F-6-P affect the rate vs concentration graph?
It will shift toward the r state
What does a sigmoidal shape on a rxn velocity vs substrate graph mean?
The substrate is also an activator
What happens if AMP is added to a PFK-1 rate vs conc of F-6-P graph?
Because AMP is a positive heteroallosteric effector, it will shift the curve to the left because it increases the activity of PFK-1
How does PEP affect the graph of rate PFK-1 to F-6-P conc?
It will shift the curve to the right because PEP is a negative hetero allosteric effector of PFK-1
What is Pyruvate Kinase affected by?
ATP and Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
What does Pyruvate Kinase catalyze?
PEP to Pyruvate
