Q

What happens in rxn 1 of glycolsis?

A

Hexokinase will add a phosphate from atp on to glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate.

This will trap the glucose inside the cell.

This reaction is feedback inhibted by the accumilation of glucose-6-phosphate.

Q

How is rxn1 different in the liver?

A

It is induced by glucokinase, bc its purpose is to store glucose. (reduce hyperglycemia)

It is not feedback inhibted (bc we want to store as much glucose as possible when needed)

Glucokinase is induced by insulin

Q

How is rxn1 different in the pancreas?

A

It is induced by glucokinase in b cells of pancreas

It is used as a sensor (indicator) for glucose to tell the pancrease to release insulin.

Q

What happens in Rxn 3?

A

Phosphofructokinase 1 will add another phosphate molecule to Fructose-6-phosphate
turning it into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.

This process requires ATP (for the phosphate)

Q

What is Rxn 3/phosphofructokinase regulated by?

Q

What are the activators of Rxn 3/phophofructokinase?

A

AMP

Fructose-2,6-Bisphosphate

17
Q

How does insulin activate PFK1?

A

It activates it using a mediator called Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

18
Q

How does insulin activate PFK1 in more detail?

A

Insulin binds to the recptor on hepatocytes

Insulin activates PFK-2

PFK-2 converts a tiny amount of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

Fructose-2,6-phosphate will activate PFK-1

PFK-1 will turn Fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

19
Q

What reaction requires NAD+

A

Rxn 6

20
Q

What is the enzyme used in Rxn 6?

A

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase

21
Q

What is the product of Rxn 6?

A

1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate

(Remember 2,3-BPG )

Remember the 6 hemoglobin molecules in oxy affinity lec

22
Q

What happens in Rxn 7?

A

1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate Breaks down into 3-Phosphoglycerate to produce 2 ATP (bc it is 2 reactions)

(Substrate level phosphorylation)

23
Q

What is special about Rxn 9?

A

The enzyme that catalyzez Rxn 9 is Enolase.

Enolase is inhibted by fluoride.

Enolase is used by bacteria to form tooth decay.

24
Q

What happens in Rxn 10?

A

It is catalyzed by Pyurvate Kinase

It is the second Substrate level phosphorylation reaction (2 ATP is produced)

Third regulated step.

Activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (feed forward activation)

25
Q

What happens to the RBCs bc of pyruvate kinase deficeny? Are there heinz bodies?

A

Decreased ATP production which leads to the inability of the cell to maintain the ion pumps

This inturn leads to the inability of the cell to sustain its membrane

Causing the cells to swell and burst.

No heinz bodies present

26
Q

What happens to 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate bc of pyruvate kinase deficeny?

A

The reaction will go backward bc of the fact that Pyruvate kinase is deficent.

This will convert Phosphophenolpyruvate back into 1,3-bisphosphateglycerate which will then be converted to 2,3-BPG.

This causes an increase in 2,3-BPG in the body which will decrease the hemoglobin’s affinity to oxygen.

27
Q

What are the 3 hormonal regulated reactions? What hormones regulate them?

A

Rxn 1,3,10.

28
Q

Which enzymes are regulated by phosphorylation?

A

PFK-2

and

Pyruvate kinase

29
Q

Does glycolsis require oxygen?

A

NO

30
Q

What are the two fates of pyruvate?

A

Either it will be converted into acytl COA into the electron transport chain (in cells with mitochondria and enough oxygen)

  1. Pyruvate will be converted into Lactate or ethanol (without oxygen/mitochondria) (fermentation)
31
Q

What are some situations where the body switches to anaerboic glycolsis?

A

Rigorus exercise in muscle cells (produces lactic acid)

High altitude

Ischemic cells (to prevent cell death)
