Makes: 6 ATP equilvalents
so 0 net yield
20
Q
Pyruvate carboxylase in the gluconeogenesis
A
In gluconeogenesis, pyruvate carboxylase is the ONLY gluconeogenesis enzyme found in the MT. Here, it will convert [pyruvate–>OAA] though carboxylation.
Pyruvate carboxylase has a BIOTIN COFACTOR and is activated by [acetyl-coA] and [cortisol]
21
Q
What type of co-factor does pyruvate carboxylase have?
A
Biotin cofactor
22
Q
What activates the biotin co-factor on pyruvate carboxylase?
A

2. cortisol
23
Q
How can we prevent gluconeogenesis from occuring all of the time?
A
As we have mentioned, pyruvate carboxylase converts [pyruvate–> OAA] in the MT. OAA cannot pass the MT membrane to go outside into the cytosol.
SOOO. OAA must be converted into [malate] by [malate dehydrogenase]. Malate can readily cross the MT membrane into the cytosol. It is then [REOXIDIZED] into OAA.
24
Q
Pyruvate carboxylase is an enzyme located in the ______, that converts ______ to ______
A
MT
Pyruvate
OAA
25
Can OAA readily pass the MT membrane--> cytosol?
No. It must be converted to malate via malate DH in the MT and re-converted to OAA once outside.
This ensures that specificity of gluconeogenesis.
26
PEP Carboxykinase in gluconeogenesis
[OAA]--> [PEP] through phosphorylation & decarboxylation. A GTP is used.
27
Activators of PEP carboxykinase
Glucagon,
Cortisol
Thyroxine
28

1. Phosphorylation
| 2. De-carboxylation
29

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphotase converts [F16P-->F6P].
| IT IS THE RATE LIMITING STEP
30
F16BPase activators
Cortisol
| Citrate
31

SI, liver, kidneys and pancreas
37
G6P--> glucose via _____________, which is located in ______________
G6Pase
| lumen of the ER
38
G6Pase has what kind of transporter?
GLUT7 transporter
39
Transportation of G6P and Glucose
1. G6P is transported into the lumen of the ER using a G6P transporter.
2. Here, G6Pase will convert G6P to glucose
3. Glucose is then moved to the cytoplasm using GLUT7 transporter
40
What is the relevance of the Cori Cycle?
As we have previously said, anaerobic glycolysis occurs in 1. exercising muscle and 2. RBC. It converts pyruvate--> [lactate]. However, we do not want a buildup of lactate in these cells. So, the Cori Cycle prevents this by moving lactate out of these cells, into the blood, into the liver where the lactate can undergo gluconeogenesis. Glucose is made and then sent back to [exercising muscle] and [RBC].
41
What are the two disorders that can occur in gluconeogenesis?
1. F-1,6-BP deficiency
| 2. Von Gierke Dz
42
What are the order of things broken down for gluconeogenesis?

A F-1,6-BP deficiency in gluconeogenesis is similar to Tarui disease in glycolysis.
We are unable to make glucose from our sources.
44

Move fructose into the cell
51
SGLT-1 Transporters do what?
Move galactose and glucose into the cell.
52
GLUT2 Transporters do what?
GLUT2 transporters move cells from [fructose, galactose and glucose] from the [CELL--> BLOOD].
So these work once these items are already inside the cell.
53
Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome
Fanconi Bickel Syndrome occurs when the GLUT2 receptors are fucked up. Fructose, glucose and galactose inside of the cell cannot be taken out into the bloodstream.
54
What are the genetics of Fanconi Bickel Syndrome?
Autosomal recessive
55
What transporter is affected in Fanconi Bickel Syndrome?
GLUT2- which moves fructose, galactose and glucose out of the cell into the bloodstream.
56
Polyol Pathway (basic)
Polyol pathway is the conversion of [glucose] into [fructose]
57
Why would we want to convert glucose to fructose in the polyol pathway?
We want to do this because fructose metabolism is FASTER. We can bypass the rate limiting step.
58
Describe the polyol pathway
[Glucose--> sorbitol] via aldose reductase
| [Sorbital--> fructose] via sorbital DH
59
Pt Matthew lacks sorbital DH. What can happen?
Sorbital DH converts sorbital--> fructose.
| If a patient lacks sorbital DH, they will have a build up of sorbital, which can cause cataracts.
60
How is fructose metabolized?
Fructose can be metabolized two ways:
1. Hexokinase can phosphorylate [fructose--> F6P], where it can then enter glycolysis.
HOWEVER...
Metabolism is faster if it bypasses the rate-limiting step and is converted into [glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate G3P].
61
Is High Fructose Corn Syrup linked to obesity?
It is thought that HFCS is linked to diabetes because since it passes the rate limiting step of PFK-1, it is easier turned to fat. However, only 55% of HFCS is fructose. the rest is sucrose. so, it is though that an overall increase in calories and sugar is linked to obesity.
62
Galactose Metabolism

63
Galactose can be metabolized and enter glycolysis as
G6P
64

| GALT
65
Pathway for galactose metabolism
galactose--> galactose-1-phosphate via [galactokinase]
galactose-1-phosphate--> glucose-1-phosphate via [GALT]
It will then eventually be turned into G6P and can enter glycolysis
66
What happens if there is a defect in ______ and ______ enzymes for galactose metabolism?
galactokinase and GALT
Galactosemia-->a build up of galactitol
67
Galactosemia
Galactosemia is a build up of galactose because GALT or galactokinase are defective.
Can cause cataracts
68
PPP is a oxidative/reductive pathway?
Oxidative
69
In the PPP, what is the primary substrate we begin with?
It takes G6P to make ribose and NADPH.
70
Does the PPP make energy?
No, it does not make ATP or GTP.
71
Where does the PPP occur?
Cytosol, like glycolysis.
72
What happens to G6P in PPP?
G6P is oxidized to ribulose-5-phosphate and NAD+ is reduced to NADPH.
73
2 main steps in PPP
1. oxidative that is irreversible (catabolic)
2. non-oxidative that is reversible (anabolic)
thus, PPP is AMPHIBOLIC!!!!!
74
Oxidative steps of PPP makes
2 NADPH and 1 CO2
75
There are ___ oxidatative steps in PPP.
2
76
1st oxidative step of PPP
G6P is oxidized by [G6P DH]
& NADP+ is reduced to NADPH.
This is the rate limiting step!
77
What were to happen if someone were deficient in G6P DH?
They would not be able to make NADPH. This occurs in a high proportion of African-Americans, making them more susceptible to hemolytic anemia.
78
Why is NADPH important though?
NADPH is super important because it helps to make glutathione, a anti-oxidant that helps us to detoxify H2O2.
79
2nd oxidative step in PPP
Phosphoglucanate DH will create ribulose-5-phosphate through decarboxylation.
CO2 is released and NADPH is made.
80
Non-oxidative steps in PPP
The second part of the PPP is non-oxidative. It turns ribulose 5-phosphate--> ribose-5-phosphate, the precursor to many nucleotides.
ribose 5 phosphate can then made [G3P or [F6P] and enter glycolysis or gluconeogenesis.
81
Non-oxidative part of PPP turns ________ into _______.
ribulose 5 phosphate
| ribose-5-phosphate
82
Product of non-oxidative PPP (_______) can then do what?
ribose-5-phosphate
is the precursor to nucleotides.
ribose-5-phosphate can then be converted into G3P or F6P and then enter glycolysis.
83
A cell is dividing rapidly. Which phase of the PPP will it favor?
The rapidly dividing cell will favor the oxidative phase because it needs to make DNA.
This can also be obtained by reversing the non-oxidative phase.
84
Cells that have a high demand for NADPH will favor what phase of the PPP? Why?
A cell that has a high demand for NADPH will favor the non-oxidative phase. Why?
The non-oxidative phase creates metabolites that can enter glycolysis (G3P) and (F6P) and glucneogenesis. If these products are made, they can enter GLUCONEOGENESIS and re-enter the PPP.
85

Trap and activate glucose
1. hexokinase/glucokinase will bring glucose into the cell and trap it! --> G6P
2. G6P--> G1P [via PGM phosphoglucomutase]
3. G1P will then be tagged with UDP to create [UDP-Glucose]
100
Elongate the chain!
UDP-Glucose is added to the primer (glycogenin) via glycogen synthase

RATE LIMITING ENZYME
This will continue until you are 4 away from the branch point!
107
Branch Transfer to long chain in glycogenolysis
1. Debranching enzyme will remove 3/4 remaining glucoses and transfer them to chain and attach to the non-reducing end
We now have 1 glucose left. [Alpha-1,6-glucosidase] will now remove the last glucose and release it as a FREE glucose!

alpha-1,6-glucosidase
111
What happens to Glu-1-P in the muscle?
Glu-1-P in the muscle is converted to G6P and enters glycolysis in the muscle to provide ATP.
G6P will never leave the cell because it does not have a G6Pase. Thus, as we said, the "glucose" in the muscle only fends for itself.
112
What happens to Glu-1-P in the liver?
converted to Glucose to help regulate our blood sugar.
113

| glucagon is high.
121
If Ca2+ and AMP is high in our muscles, what is this telling us?
glycogenolysis
122
[Q:] Does glucagon act on muscle?
NO. Muscle is not affected by insulin and glucagon because the glycogen in it is only used for the muscle.
123
Insulin binds to what kind of receptors?
tyrosine kinases
124
How does insulin regulate glycogen metabolism in terms of glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase?
Insulin enters the body
Glycogen synthase will be dephosphorylated= making it active!
Glycogen phosphorylase will be dephosphorylated= inactive
125
How does glucagon regulate glycogen metabolism in terms of glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase?
Glucagon is released in our body.
Glycogen synthase is phosphorylated= inactive
Glycogen phosphorylase is phosphorylated= active.
126
glucagon does/does not act on muscle
does not!!!
127
What protein kinase does glucagon activate?
Protein kinase A
128
Insulin and glycogen metabolism pathway
Increase insulin= increase glucose= glycogenosis
Glycogenosis occurs via glycogen synthase, which is active when DEPHOSPHORYLATED.
Insulin comes in and binds to tyrosine kinase. 2 things happen:
1. triggers glut4 receptors to membrane to let Glu in.
2. activates protein kinase B.
3. Protein kinase B will phosphorylate PP1 (protein phosphotase 1)
3. PP1 will dephosphorylate glycogen synthase and dephosphorylate glycogen phosphorylase.

insulin binds to
tyrosine kinase
130
glucagon binds to

131
Epinephrine and glycogen metabolism
Epinephrine is released when we are working out in our muscles. it tells us to break down glycogen (glycogenolysis). Has the same mechanism as glucagon because it binds to the same receptors
Epi binds to GCPR
G protein will activate AC to convert ATP--> cAMP
cAMP activates protein kinase A
Protein kinase A will then phosphorylate glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase.
YAY
