Q

Describe: Control of flux through pathways

A

1) Enzymes which catalyze reactions with ∆G <<0 are often sites of regulation, responsive to local (e.g., allosteric) and global (e.g., hormonal) regulatory signals.
2) Coordinated control of multiple regulatory enzymes, where different tissues may respond differently to the same global signal. May involve a complex interplay of covalent modification and/or binding to regulatory subunits.
3) Sequestration/de novo synthesis of key enzymes in response to global signals.

Q

Regulation in response to “energy charge” is often mediated by _________.

A

Q

Example: Different issues may have different isozymes, which respond differently to regulatory signals

A

HK-I (muscle) vs HK-IV (liver)

17
Q

Example: Opposing enzyme activities respond to signals in a reciprocal fashion

A

PFK-1 vs. FBPase-1: Opposing enzyme activities respond to signals in a reciprocal fashion

18
Q

How is T and R state affected by PFK-1 vs. FBPase-1?

A
19
Q

Example: Opposing enzyme activities encoded on a singlepolypeptide, with tissue-specific responses to external stimuli

A

PFK-2 vs FBPase-2:

  • Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is the most important regulator of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
  • It is synthesized and degraded by opposing activities, encoded in distinct domains of the same protein.
  • In liver tissue these activities are responsive to phosphorylation:
20
Q

What enzyme is the most important regulator of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?

A

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is the most important regulator of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

21
Q

Example:

Opposing enzymeactivities respond tosignals in a reciprocalfashion

A

F26BP is the most potent allostericeffector of PFK-1

22
Q

What does Insulin do?

A

general signal for dephosphorylation of proteins

23
Q

What does Glucagon/epinephrine do?

A

general signal for increased protein phosphorylation

24
Q

The synthesis of F-2,6-BP is ________ control in _____ cells

A

The synthesis of F-2,6-BP is underhormonal control in liver cells

25
Q

Describe how the synthesis of F-2,6-BP is underhormonal control in liver cells

A
  • PFK-2/FBPase-2 is controlled by reversible phosphorylation of Ser32 in each subunit of the homodimeric protein.
  • In the unphosphorylated form, the kinase domain (K) is active, and F-2,6-BP is synthesized.
  • In the phosphorylated form, the phosphatase domain (B) is active, and F-2,6B-P is degraded.
  • Glucagon stimulates phosphorylation by activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Insulin and glucose stimulate dephosphorylation by activating a protein phosphatase.
26
Q

Liver hexokinase is also regulated by ________

A

Liver hexokinase is also regulated by protein–protein interactions.

  • Liver HKIV is interacts with the glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) in the nucleus anddephosphorylated PFK- 2/FBPase-2 in the cytoplasm.
  • Insulin binding to its plasma membrane receptor stimulates dephosphorylation of PFK-2/FBPase-2.
27
Q

Example: Different Tissues may have different isozymes, which respond differently to regulatory signals.

A
28
Q

Describe Feedback control

A

Feedback control can upregulate or downregulate the activities of key enzymes.

29
Q

31
Q

In response to stress (i.e., release of epinephrine) muscle _________ glucose (to make ATP)

A

In response to stress (i.e., release of epinephrine) muscle CONSUMES glucose (to make ATP)

32
Q

Phosphorylase kinase A is maximally activated in the __________.

A

Phosphorylase kinase A is maximally activated in the presence of Ca2+ (which is released in sarcomere when muscles contract)

33
Q

Different responses in muscle and liver are largely due to ____________

A

Different responses in muscle and liver are largely due to different responses of PFK-2/FBPase-2 to external stimuli in these tissues
