BIOC 221 - Midterm #2 (advanced editor) Flashcards
(317 cards)
Feedforward Activation ensures that?
act in concert to overall goal of E production
An Allosteric Inhibitor does what to an enzyme?
binds to enzyme, changes its conformation and changes its substrate affinity (Km)
Bypass 1 - Reciprocal Regulation of Glucose Metabolism
Pyruvate –> ?
Pyruvate Carboxlyase vs PDH complex
Acetyl CoA
- stimulates pyruvate carboxylase (GNG)
- inhibits PDH complex (CAC)
ATP & NADH
- inhibits Acetyl-CoA from entering CAC
Reciprocal Regulation is important for two closely parallel pathways because?
direction of reaction is governed by?
it prevents concurrent activity which would waste ATP
ΔG (free energy change)
The action of an inhibitor or activator has what effect on:
a) reversible reactions
b) irreversible reactions
a) would speeds/slows reverse and forward reaction at same rate (same effect on both)
b) changes overall direction of parallel pathways
Bypass 2 - Reciprocal Regulation of Glucose Metabolism
F6P <–> F16BP
PFK-1 vs FBPase-1
- inhibited/activated by?
PFK- 1
Inhibited by: ATP, citrate
Activated by: ADP, AMP, F26BP
FBPase
inhibited by: AMP, F26BP
**Fructose-2,6-Biphosphate **
Importance? (2)
Potent allosteric regulator of PFK-1 and FBPase-1
- mediator of hormonal regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
High [F26BP] leads to?
Glycolysis increase
PFK-1 - Km decreases
Gluconeogenesis decrease
FBPase-1 - Km increases
How is cellular [F26BP] regulated?
Glucagon and Insulin
Effects of
**a) Glucagon **
**b) Insulin **
on blood [glucose]
a) raises
b) lowers
F26BP is produced under?
activates? suppresses?
formed by?
inhibited by?
normal glucose levels
PFK-1 (glycolysis)
FBPase-1 (gluconeogenesis)
PFK-2
glucagon
F26BP <—> ___
forward and reverse reaction catalyzed by?
F26BP -> F6P : FBPase-2
F6P –> F26BP : PFK-2
low blood glucose levels?
Pancreas produces Glucagon
Glucagon lowers [F26BP]
low [F26BP] leads to: PFK-1 activation & FBPase-1 inhibition
Glycolysis inhibited
Gluconeogenesis activated
Blood glucose replenished
When glucose is needed?
(4) steps
(1) Glucagon
(2) ↓[F26BP], **↑ FBPase-2, ↓PFK-2**
(3) ↓PFK-1, **↑FBPase-1 **
(4) ↑Glycolysis, ↓GNG
When glucose is in excess?
(4) steps
↑↓
(1) Insulin
(2) ↑[F26BP], ↓FBPase-2, ↑PFK-2
(3) ↑PFK-1, ↓FBPase-1
(4) ↑Glycolysis, ↓GNG
PFK-2 and FBP-2
Bifunctional protein
Glucagon(↑cAMP) - ↑ FBPase-2 (phosphorylated) - ↑GNG
Insulin - ↑ PFK-2 (OH group - dephos) - ↑ Glycolysis
PFK-2 & FBP-2
phosphate group - importance?
a phosphate group changes the shape of an enzyme and can alter substrate binding
Cellular Respiration
aerobic phase of catabolism where nutrients (sugar, FAs, aa’s) are oxidized to H2O and CO2
CAC - **localization **
glycolysis in cytosol
Pyruvate enteres mitochondria to be metabolized further by PDH and CAC
Mitochondrial Compartments
- Matrix
- Outer Membrane
- Inner Membrane Infoldings (Cristae)
`
Matrix - PDH complex, enzymes of CAC (also FA ox. and aa metabolism)
Outer Membrane - large channels (leaky)
Inner Membrane Infoldings (Cristae) - contains ETC , major permeability membrane
- contains transporters
Acetyl-CoA production from ____ by ____
Pyruvate
PDH complex
Degradation of 1 glucose to pyruvate via anaerobic glycolysis yields __ ATP.
2 ATP
Anaerobic glycolysis only yields 2 ATP.
A much higher yield can be obtained by subsequent?
complete oxidative degradation of pyruvate to CO2 and H2O by PDH complex making Acetyl-CoA, then CAC (to CO2) and then ETS
Under aerobic conditions, fate of pyruvate?
converted to acetyl-CoA and oxidized to CO2 in CAC
