Q

Tell me about the pyruvate transport

A

A variety of different transport systems, such as symports and antiports, are present in the inner mitochondrial membrane

  • pyruvate transport has a pyruvate symport or shuttle that diffuses pyruvate(-) and H(+) through the inner mitochronial membrane . Since they are opposite charges they do not affect the electron gradient

Tricarboxylic acid cycle, ketone bodies, sterols and fatty acids

30
Q

What are the fates of acetyl CoA

A

Tricarboxylic acid cycle, ketone bodies, sterols and fatty acids

31
Q

what are high energy molecules in the TCA cycle

A

acetyl coA, and succinyl CoA

32
Q

What three enzymes involve a lot of energy, exergonic?

A

Citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha ketaoglutarate dehydrogenase

33
Q

What is the rate limiting enzyme in TCA cyle

A

Isocitrate dehydrogenase
-isocitrate to a ketoglutaurate

34
Q

What is the first oxidation step in TCA cycle

A

NADH, H–> Isocitrate to oxalosuccinate with isocitrate dehydrogenase

Extra under oxalosuccinate: electron sink beta to carbon with COO to be removed

35
Q

What is the second oxidation in TCA?

A

NADH, H –> a-ketoglutrate aKG to succinyl CoA with a ketoglutarate dehydrogenase

to run TCA cycle you need not only acetyl-CoA but also oxaloacetate

52
Q

What is the solution of the metabolic problem of the TCA cycle?

A

Pyruvate carboxylase (+biotin) converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate

53
Q

What from the TCA can be toxic?

A

accumulation of the TCA cycle intermediates (succinate, fumarate) or TCA cycle substrates (pyruvate)

54
Q

an accumulation of TCA cycle intermediates (succinate, fumarate) or TCA cycle substrates (pyruvate) cause what?

A

particularly toxic to neurons and brain development (encephalopathies)

55
Q

What is Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency ?

A

-leading to chronic lactic acidosis (increased serum levels for lactate, pyruvate, alanine).

-Children with this disease frequently exhibit severe neurological defects; resulting in death in many cases

  • Dietary management may include ketogenic diet
56
Q

What is the management of pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency?

A

ketogenic diet (high-fat, adequate- protein, low-carbohydrate diet) with minimal carbohydrates.

57
Q

What is fumarase deficiency?

A

-Rare autosomal recessive disease with severe neurological impairment.
-Urine contains abnormal amounts of fumarate and elevated levels of succinate and other TCA cycle intermediates.
