Q

What would be the result of Pyruvate kinase defect?

Study These Flashcards
A

Probably lead to RBC anemia but also may contribute to increase in 2,3-BPG (everything above roadblock is accumulated and this is last step in glycolysis)

22
Q

1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate can be made into what besides 3-phosphoglycerate?

Study These Flashcards
A

Via mutase it van be made to 2,3-biphosphoglycerate.

23
Q

2,3-bisphosphoglycerate is reintroduced to glycolysis how?

Study These Flashcards
A

Via water and phosphotase into 3-phosphoglycerate

24
T or F: Production of 2,3-BPG and reintroduction via phosphotase at 3-phosphoglycerate level costs 1 ATP from glycolysis
T; skips the phosphoglycerate kinase step
25
T or F: The three irreversible steps of glycolysis are regulated by effector molecules and indirectly by hormones
T
26
What regulates glucokinase?
High Km of glucokinase is a self-regulator, no direct effector
27
What regulates hexokinase?
Accumulation of Glucose 6-phosphate (negative feedback inhibition)
28
Phosphofructokinase-1 is regulated by?
Positively: AMP, Fructose-2,6-P Negatively: ATP, Citrate (lots of Krebs going on)
29
Pyruvate kinase is regulated by?
Positively: F-1,6-P Negatively: Phosphoylation via cAMP-dependent pathways Alanine (this is because alanine and pyruvate are interchangeable since they are isomers)
30
cAMP-dependent phosphorylation is important in regulating pyruvate kinase where?
In the liver, prevents consuming glucose when body needs it
31
Describe the cAMP cascade
Hormone hits receptor that is coupled to G-protein coupled receptor. Activates G-protein to release G-alpha from G-beta and gamma (GDP to GTP). This activates adenylyl cyclase to make ATP into cAMP
32
What enzyme is responsible for making cAMP from ATP?
Adenylyl cyclase
33
Describe the structure of G-protein?
Alpha,beta, and gamma subunits.
34
Compare and contrast active and inactive G-protein
Inactive: All three subunits together, alpha linked to GDP Active: Alpha separates from gamma and beta when Alpha is conjoined with GTP
35
Describe the function of cAMP
cAMP interacts with cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (makes catalytic subunits active by phosphorylating the regulatory subunits) which then phoysphorylates protein substrates leading to intracellular effects. Turned off by protein phosphatases.
36
What happens in the liver when high glucose?
High glucose=high insulin=low cAMP=low PKA=low phoshporylation of PFK2=high activity of PFK2=high F2,6BP production which activates glycolysis
37
What happens in the liver with low glucose?
Low Blood sugar=cAMP cascade=PFK2 is phosphorylated to be inactive=little F2,6BP produced=Gylcolysis is not activated
38
T or F: Insulin opposes the cAMP cascade
T
39
Describe the process of insulin triggered cell response
Insulin binds receptor and subunits phosphorylate themselves at tyrosine residues, the subunits also phosphorylate other protein kinases to produce cellular response of reversal of glucagon and stimulation of glucose transport via GLUT4
40
Describe the structure of PFK-2
Bound to FBP-2. When phosphorylated, PFK-2 is inactive and FBP-2 is active (bifunctional enzyme).
41
What happens from a regulatory stance of PFK-1 when insulin is high and glucagon is low?
Low glucagon means little cAMP production. High insulin means reduced levels of active PKA leading to dephosphorylation of PFK2 leading to activation of the Fructose 6-phosphate to Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate pathway.
42
T or F: Insulin increases glycolysis
T
43
T or F: Elevated levels of Fructose 2,6-biphosphate increase PFK-1 activity
T
44
In humans, what three products can pyruvate be converted to following glycolysis?
Lactate, Acetyl CoA, and Oxaloacetate
45
How is pyruvate converted to lactate?
By lactate dehydrogenase, regenerates NAD from NADH and H
46
Describe an instance where lactate is produced
Decreased O2, less ATP, inc lactate, H accumulated
47
How is pyruvate made to acetyl CoA?
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
48
T or F: pyruvate to lactate is reversible
T
49
What regulates Pyruvate dehydrogenase?
Inhibited: Acetyl CoA | Is source of acetyl CoA for krebs and fatty acid synthesis
50
How is pyruvate made into oxaloacetate?
Pyruvate carboxylase consumes CO2 to replenish TCA cycle intermediates
51
Pyruvate carboxylate does?
Activated by Acetyl CoA and replenishes TCA intermediates, provides substrates for gluconeogenesis
52
What is the net yield of NADH when glucose 6-phosphate is converted to lactate by anaerobic glycolysis?
0
53
The committed step of glycolysis is?
PFK-1 step
