Outline the pathway of glycogenesis

Overview of Fatty Acid Degradation
FFA into muscle cell (albumin) ⇒ fatty-acyl-CoA (acyl CoA synthetase)
fatty-acyl-CoA (Palmitate) cant be transported to mit. matrix directly ⇒ carnitine transporter ⇒ palmitoyl CoA
Thru oxidation/hydration steps ⇒ FADH2 (2 ATP) and NADH (3 ATP) via respiratory chain
Product = acetyl CoA and a fatty acyl CoA molecule that is two carbons shorter; in this case a 14-carbon fatty acyl CoA
How many times does the 16-carbon palmitoyl CoA cycle through in the Beta-oxidation pathway?
7 times
to produce 8 molecules of acetyl CoA from palmitoyl CoA.
each cycle produces FADH2 and NADH, which are then oxidized in the respiratory chain, forming ATP
How is Hexokinase allosterically regulated?
Why is this advantageous?
The product, G-6-P will inhibit Hexokinase if the cell has too much glucose.
excessive glycolytic intermediates ⇒ limit free Pi for synthesis of ATP
What are the allosteric regulators of Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK)?
PFK is a physiologically irreversible rxn (rate-determining step)
under certain conditions (exercise), a phosphatase (fructose-1,6-biphosphatase) will provide glucose-6-P for glycogen stores
High ATP inhibits PFK
High [H+] (high metabolic activity) inhibits PFK
High AMP activates PFK; inhibits fructose-1,6-BP

Low Energy
Overall why is Fructose-1,6-BisPhosphatase activated in the cell?
reverse glycolysis to provide G-6-P for the replenishment of glycogen stores from circulating lactate.
How does Epinephrine increase glucose?
GPCR → cAMP → PKA → Phosphorylase kinase-P → Glycogen phosphorylase -P
PKA → Glycogen synthase-P (inactive)
What is an allosteric activator of Phosphorylase kinase?
Ca2+
What is an allosteric activator of Glycogen Phosphorylase?
What other pathway does this signal substrate work on?
Why?
AMP
(Glycogen Phosphorylase: tense to relaxed form)
AMP signals the cell to mobilize more glucose, and at the same time, stimulates phosphofructokinase to catalyze the reaction of fructose-6–P to fructose- 1,6–bisphosphate (advancing to the next steps of glycolysis to produce more energy).
mobolize glucose
Besides inhibiting Hexokinase, G-6-P can inhibit and activate which substrates in Epi pathway?
Inhibit ⇒ Glycogen Phosphorylase-P
Activate ⇒ Glycogen Synthase-P (inactive)
How does insulin reverse the cyclic AMP-mediated cascade?
What phosphatase does it activate?
Phosphodiesterase = cAMP ⇒ AMP
inactivates PKA
activates protein phosphatase (removes P from phosphorylase kinase and glycogen phosphorylase to inactivate)
How does G-6-P inhibit glycogenolysis and activate glycogenesis?
Inhibits phosphorylase kinase
Turns glycogen phosphorylase to its tense (inactive) state. In this state glycogenolysis is inhibited
allosteric activator to glycogen synthase-d, allowing override of hormonal input. Glycogen synthase may be inactive - d form (phosphorylated)
