What the official name for glycolysis?
Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas Pathway
What is produced from one molecule of glucose?
2 ATP

2 Pyruvate

2 NADH
What is the end product of glycolysis if it can't continue on to aerobic pathways (no mitochondria)?
Lactate
What happens to pyruvate in the mitochondria?
oxidized into acetyl CoA and then enters TCA/Krebs/citric acid pathway
What are the 6 classes of enzymes in glycolysis and what they do?
-Kinase - adds P to glucose

-Mutase - shifts fxnl groups from one spot to another on same molecule

-Dehydrogenase - oxidizes by reduction (NADH/FADH side product)

-Cleaving Enzyme - cuts chains/rings up

-Isomerase - rearranges to alternate structural form

-Enolase - breaking of various chemical bonds by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation
What are the 2 stages of Glycolysis?
-Energy investment - rxns 1-5, prep stage, consumes 2 ATP

-Energy recovery - rxns 6-10, generates 4ATP, 2 pyruvate
What is the overall rxn of glycolysis?
glucose + 2NAD* + 2ADP + 2Pi --> 2 pyruvate + 2NADH +2ATP + 2 H2O + 4H*
What are the 2 molecules and enzyme of rxn 1 and is it reversible?
glucose + hexokinase + ATP + Mg++ --> Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)

--glucokinase in the liver

--not reversible
Why is glucose phosphorylated in rxn 1 and what purpose does the Mg++ serve?
-the neg charge from P keeps glucose from leaving the cell

-Mg++ shields the neg ATP charge and allows it to get close to glucose - nucleophilic attack
Is hexokinase specific to glucose?
Nope, it can get others like mannose, fructose
Glucose-6-phosphate is a metabolic junction. What are the 3 directions the molecule can go from here?
-continue glycolysis

-storage as glycogen

-Pentose phosphatase shunt
Where is glucokinase used?
hepatocytes and islet (pancreatic) cells

-not inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate like hexokinase

-different functions in liver and pancrease
How does the liver respond in hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic periods?
hyper - hepatocyte glucose uptake is increased due to increased levels of glucokinase
---hepatocyte glucokinase initiates the metabolism of glucose

hypo - hepatocyte glucokinase levels are reduced and the liver becomes a provider of glucose
What does glucokinase do in Beta cells of the pancreas?
sense and modulate insulin secretion

increase glucose uptake --> increase glucokinase expression and use --> decrease in ATP --> blockage of ATP sensitive K+ channel --> Insulin secretion
What are the molecules and the enzyme in rxn 2 and is it reversible?
glucose-6-phosphate + phosphoglucose isomerase <--> Fructose-6-phosphate

reversible
What are the molecules and the enzyme in rxn 3 and is it reversible?
Fructose-6-phophate + ATP + phophofructokinase --> Fructose-1,6-bisphospate

not reversible - a rate limiting step
What are the molecules of rxn 4, the enzyme, and is it reversible?
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + aldolase <--> Dihydroxyacetone phosphate + Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

reversible
What happens in rxn 5, the enzyme used, and is it reversible?
dihydroxyacetone phosphate <--> Enediol intermediate <--> Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

Triose phosphate isomerase

only GAP continues - reversible
What are the molecules of rxn 6, the enzyme, and is it reversible?
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + NAD* + Pi + glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase <--> 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H*

reversible
What are the molecules of rxn 7, the enzyme, and is it reversible?
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP + phosphoglycerate kinase <--> 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP

reversible

finally make 2 ATP
What are the molecules of rxn 8, the enzyme, and is it reversible?
3-phosphoglycerate + phophoglycerate mutase <--> 2-phosphoglycerate

reversible
What are the molecules of rxn 9, the enzyme, and is it reversible?
2-phosphoglycerate + enolase <--> phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O

reversible
What are the molecules of rxn 10, the enzyme, and is it reversible?
phosphoenolpyruvate + ADP + H* + pyruvate kinase --> pyruvate + ATP

not reversible, make 2 more ATP
What are the 3 fates of pyruvate?
aerobic - oxidative phosphorylation: pyruvate --> Acetyl CoA and enters Krebs --> CO2 + H2O

anaerobic - homolactic fermentation: Pyruvate + NADH + lactate dehydrogenase <--> Lactate + NAD*

alcoholic fermentation: Pyruvate + NADH --> Ethanol + NAD* + CO2
At what rxns do galactose, mannose, and fructose enters glycolysis?
-galactose - 2nd rxn

-mannose - 3rd rxn

-fructose (muscle) - rxn 3

fructose (liver) - rxn 5
What are the 3 enzymes that regulate glycolysis?
-hexokinase - rxn 1

-phosphofructokinase - rxn 3

-pyruvate kinase - rxn 10
What are the 3 fxns of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP)?
-generation of pentose - used for synthesis of nucleic acids and nucleotides

-production of fatty acids - membrane synthesis, RBC structure, etc

-cell detoxification by removal of destructive forms of oxygen
What is generated by the oxidation of glucose-6-phophate via the PPP?
NADPH + R5P (can enter back into glycolisis if no nucleotides are needed)
In what tissues is PPP usually done?
where lipid biosynthesis is taking place
--liver, mammary gland, adipose tissue, adrenal cortex

-30% of glucose oxidation in liver occurs in PPP and not glycolysis
