What is step 1 of TCA?

1. Reaction
2. Enyzme involved and Function
3. Type of Reaction
1. condensation of Acetyl CoA with oxaloacetate

2. Citric Synthase - allosteric enzyme, inhibited by NADH, ATP, and Succ-CoA

3. Hydrolysis provides energy to drive Step 1
What is step 2 of TCA?

1. Reaction
2. Enzyme
3. Type
1. Citrate --> Aconitate --> Isocitrate

2. Aconitase - makes aconitate --> Isocitrate

3. Dehydration of Citrate --> Aconitate and Rehydration of Aconitate --> Isocitrate

Isocitrate is chiral while other two are not, only 1 of its 4 steroisomers is formed in the cycle
What is step 3 of TCA?

1. Reaction
2. Enzyme
3. Type
1. Isocitrate --> Oxalosuccinate --> Alpha-Ketoglutarate

2. Isocitrate dehydrogenase - allosteric enzyme; inhibited by ATP and NADH, activated by ADP and NAD+

3. Oxidation of Isocitrate and decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate
What is step 4 of TCA?

1. Reaction
2. Enzyme
3. Type
1. Alpha-ketoglutarate --> Succinyl-CoA + CO2

2. Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex - inhibited by ATP, NADH, and Suc-CoA, activated by ADP and NAD+

3. Oxidative decarboxylation
What is step 5 of TCA?

1. Reaction
2. Enzyme
3. Type
1. Succ-CoA + GDP + Pi --> Succinate + GTP + CoA-SH

2. Succ-CoA synthetase

3. Energy yielding reaction, GTP produced
What are steps 6 and 7 of TCA?

1. Reaction
2. Enzyme
3. Type
6:

1. Succinate --> Fumarate
2. Succinate dehydrogenase
3. Oxidation (FAD --> FADH2)

7:

1. Fumarate --> L-Malate
2. Fumarase
3. Hydration
What is step 8 of TCA?

1. Reaction
2. Enzyme
3. Type
1. L-Malate --> Oxaloacetate
2. Malate dehydrogenase
3. Oxidation (NAD --> NADH)

Oxaloacetate then reacts with Acetyl CoA to start step 1 again
What are the overall products of the TCA cycle?
2 carbon dioxides

1 CoA

1 GTP

3 NADH

1 FADH2

3 H+
What are the 3 enzymes that control the cycle?
Citrate synthase - inhibited by ATP, NADH, and Succ-CoA

Isocitrate dehydrogenase - activated by ADP and NAD+, inhibited by ATP and NADH

Alpha-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex - inhibited by ATP, NADH, and Succ-CoA; activated by ADP and NAD+
What are the inhibitors of Complex I (Cyt Q) in Respiratory chain?
Amobarbital - barbiturate, sedative

Pericidin A - antibiotic

Rotenone - insecticide and fish poison, not fatal but causes vomiting
What are the inhibitors of Complex II (Cyt Q) in Respiratory chain?
Carboxin

Malonate - competitive inhibitor of Succinate Dehydrogenase
What are the inhibitors of Complex III (Cyt C) in Respiratory Chain?
Dimercaprol

Antimycin A
What are the inhibitors of Complex IV in Respiratory Chain?
H2S (dihydrogen sulfide)

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Cyanide
What are some inhibitors of Oxidative Phosphorylation?
Atractyloside - inhibits translocation of ADP and ATP

Oligomycin -
inhibits ATP synthase
blocks the FoF1 ATPase
blocks conduction of H+ through F0
Prevents ATP manufacture, with decreased oxygen consumption
What are uncouplers and examples?
leakage of H+ across membrane collapsing electrochemical proton gradient

dissociate oxidation from phosphorylatoin

examples:
2,4 dinitrophenol
dinitrocresol
pentachlorophenol
chlorocarbanoyl cyanide phenylhydrazone
What does 2,4 dinitrophenol do?
diffuses across inner mitochondrial membrane and loses energy as heat

causes ETC to proceed at rapid rate w/o production of proton gradient

example of a thermogenin - brown adipose tissue and a natural uncoupler
What is Brown Adipose Tissue (Brown Fat) characterized by?
well developed blood supply

high content of mitochondria and cytochromes

low activity of ATP synthase

energy produced by ETC is dissipated as heat instead of producing ATP

oxidation and phosphorylation are not coupled

active in species in arousal from hibernation

in humans:

infants have a lot, not adults

genetically predisposed individuals have large amounts "eat and not get fat"
What are ionophores?
lipophilic

transport specific cations through membranes

eliminates membrane potential and pH gradient causing inhibition of phosphorylation

dinitrophenol is a proton ionophore
What are the 3 electron driven pumps?
NADH-Q-oxidoreductase - NADH --> Q

Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase - Q --> Cyt C

cytochrome c oxidase - Cyt c --> O-
What does Complex I do?
large complex

oxidizes NADH --> NAD+

oxidizing agent is Cyt Q which is reduced to CoQH2

some of the energy released in oxidation of NAD+ is used to move 2H+ from matrix into intramembrane space
What does Complex II do?
oxidizes FADH2 --> FAD

oxidizing agent is CoQ, which is reduced to CoQH2
What does Complex III do?
delivers electrons from CoQH2 to cytochrome c

has two channels through which the two H+ from each CoQH2 oxidized are pumped from the matrix into the inramembrane space
What does Complex IV do?
known as cytochrome oxidase

electrons flow from cyt c in III to cyt A3 in IV

from Cyt A3 electrons transferred to O2

during this redox reaction, H+ are pumped from matrix into intermembrane space
