PPP, PDH Comples, TCA Flashcards
Where does PPP occur
Cytoplasm
What is the first thing to do when glucose gets to a cell
PPP
Substrate for PPP
G6P
Main role of PPP
Produce NADPH
Second main role of PPP
Make ribose 5 phosphate for nucleotide synthesis
What is NADPH used for
Synthesis of molecules
Production of fat
Protection against ROS
Detoxify xenobiotics
First step of PPP is
Irreversible
What are the two phases of PPP
Oxidative (making)
irreversible
Nonoxidative (making)
reversible
What are key enzymes in oxidative path of PPP
Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase!!!!! Very important
6 phosphogluconate dehydrogenase
What are the 2 important products of oxidative PPP
NADPH - used for anabolism
5 carbon sugar - ribulose 5 phosphate - used for DNA/RNA synthesis
What’s the most common genetic disease in the world
G6PDH deficiency
What part of PPP is thiamine dependent
Non-oxidative transketolase (C2 unit)
Beri beri
2 important parts of non-oxidative PPP
Transketolase C2 unit
Transaldolase C3 unit
Non-oxidative involves
Carbohydrates with different number of carbons
How does PPP connect to glycolysis
Via F6P or glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate
How do you regulate PPP
NADPH!
It inhibits G6PD
The liver G6PD is ______ enzyme by _____
Inducible
Insulin
What kind of eating would favor PPP
a high insulin/glucagon ratio
high carb meal
How is the PPP self regulated
By looping back to glycolysis
G6PDH deficiency is x-linked recessive which means
It’s more prevalent in males
G6PDH deficiency is _____ induced by _____
Hemolysis
Oxidative stresses
How does pyruvate get from cytoplasm to mitochondria
2 step process
1: cross mitochondria outer mem thru voltage-dependent anions channel (VDAC) with Pi
2: then its moved to the matrix through pyruvate symporter with a proton
energy consuming step
Which step in getting pyruvate from cytoplasm to mito is energy consuming
To the matrix with a proton
Where does PDH happen
Mitochondria
What does PDH do
Turns pyruvate to acetyl CoA
When does PDH happen
When you have a low ATP/ADP
And enough oxygen
What are the 5 cofactors of PDH
Tender loving care for Nancy
T = thiamine (B1) pyrophosphate
L = lipoid acid
C = CoA (B5)
F = FAD (B2)
N = NAD+ (B3)
5 enzymes of PDH
E1
E2
E3
PDH kinase
PDH Phosphatase
