TCA cycle Flashcards
Acetyl CoA is generated in these 5 oxidation pathways
fatty acids, glucose, amino acids acetate and ketone bodies
THE substrate for the TCA cycle
Acetyl CoA
Oxidation of 2 carbon acetyl group energy is conserved as ____, _____, and ____.
NADH, FAD(2H) and GTP
TCA generates energy via ____ _____.
cellular respiration
Oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate is catalyzed by this complex
alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex
coenzymes of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
TPP, lipoate and FAD
alpha-ketogluturate dehydrogenase complex is anlagous to this complex of glycolysis
pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
This substrate is used and regenerated in each turn of the cycle
Oxaloacetate
When cells use intermediates of TCA or biosythetic rxns, the carbons must be replaced by anaplerotic rxns like this
pyruvate carboxylase reaction
anaplerotic definiton
filling-up
Where TCA cycle occurs
mitochondrion
Flux of RCA is coordinated with the rate of these 2 things
electron-transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
This reflects demand for ATP in TCA cycle
feedback
Change the rate of ATP utilization
response of enzyme to ADP, NADH/NAD+ ratio, rate of FAD(2H) oxidation [Ca2+]
2 consequences of impaired TCA cycle
- inability to generate ATP from fuel oxidation 2. accumulation of TCA cycle precursors
most common cause of impaired function of the TCA cycle
lack of oxygen to accept electrons in electron-transport chain
this DNA is not bound to histones in a chromatin structure
mitochondrial DNA
within each cell there is multiple ______ and each of these also has multiple copies of this_____.
mitochondria, genome
mitochondria diseases
diminshed capactity to create energy, neuro problems (seizures, MR, epilepsy), progressive diseases
elevated ROS production found in these diseases
cancer and diabetes
2 carbons into TCA yieds
2 CO2
this enzyme links glycolysis to the TCA cycle
PDH
protein transport that transports pyruvate into the mitochondria
mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC)
number of subunits in puruvate dehydrogenase
4
acitivator of PDH kinase
acetyl CoA NADH
inhibitor of PDH kinase
pyruvate ADP
activates PDH phosphatase
Ca 2+
