Carb Metabolism Regulation: Glycolysis, Gluconeogenesis, and Glycogen, Exercises of Enzymes and Metabolism

An in-depth analysis of carbohydrate metabolism, focusing on the regulation of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and glycogen metabolism. Topics covered include the role of enzymes, substrates, and regulators in these processes, as well as the differences between catabolism and anabolism. The document also discusses the importance of anaplerotic reactions and the regulation of key enzymes such as pyruvate kinase and phosphofructokinase-1.

There Are Four Isozymes

of Hexokinase (I-IV)

•Isozymes are different enzymes that catalyze the

same reaction.

–typically share similar sequences –may have different kinetic properties –can be regulated differently

•HK I is expressed in all tissues, to different levels.

•HK IV (glucokinase) is only expressed in the liver

and pancreas.

Fructose 1-phosphate

–has higher K m , so responsive to higher [glucose] –not inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate, so can function at higher [glucose] –functions to clear blood glucose at higher [glucose] for storage as glycogen –Glc activates release/Fru inhibits

Glycogen Phosphorylase Cascade

& Hepatocyte b -adenoreceptor glucagon receptor G-proteinactivation

  • There is reciprocal inhibition of GS
    • PKA phosphorylates G (^) M , which is bound to PP1 on GS, thus dissociating it.
    • PKA also phosphorylates PP1-inhibitor protein, which binds and inactivates the free PP1, thus leaving GS-℗ and inactive

Anaplerotic Reactions

  • We introduced the citric acid cycle as a key catabolic pathway.
  • It has an equal, if not more important, role in anabolism.
    • The biosynthesis of biological precursors has to begin with elementary materials
    • Many, if not most, of these starting points come from the several intermediates in the Kreb’s cycle.
    • This was first appreciated by Hans Kornberg: how to organisms grow on carbohydrates only? o The term comes from the Greek, to ”fill up” or replenish o Recall that without this replenishment, the TCA cycle would grind to a halt o Anaplerotic reactions are critical

Anaplerotic Reactions

2 Acetyl-CoA + NAD +^ ⇌^ Succinate + 2 CoASH + NADH

  • Was intrigued by the fact that bacteria could grow very effectively on a little ammonium and phosphate salts with acetate (2C)
  • From these they can synthesize all the components of the cell; DNA, DNA, proteins, membrane lipids, cytochromes, everything…..
  • How do you build all this from a 2-carbon compound knowing how the Kreb’s cycle works?

Anaplerotic Reactions

  • Purine Nucleotide Cycle
    • was first thought be be part of nucleotide degradation or synthesis
    • In muscle, its now realized as an important anaplerotic pathway

Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency Loss of AMP deaminase-1, the muscle-specific isozyme Causes exercise-induced muscle pain

Anaplerotic Reactions

  • Intermediates in the citric acid cycle

can be used in biosynthetic pathways.

  • Must replenish the intermediates in

order for the cycle and central

metabolic pathway to continue.

  • In animals, these 4-carbon

intermediates are formed by

carboxylation of 3-carbon precursors.

Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency

  • an inherited metabolic disorder where anaplerosis is greatly reduced.
  • What is the problem?
  • How to treat this disorder?
  • Other anaplerotic substrates such as the odd-carbon-containing triglyceride triheptanoin are used

Aspartate + GTP NH 4 +^ + GDP + Pi + Fumarate Muscle

AMP deaminase, adenylosuccinate synthetase, adenylosuccinate lyase

Enzyme Kornberg discovered

  • Gluconeogenesis, a process by which cells can use a variety of metabolites for the synthesis of glucose
  • The differences between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
    • how they are both made thermodynamically favorable
    • how they are differentially regulated to avoid a futile cycle
  • The pentose phosphate pathway, a process by which cells can generate pentose phosphates and NADPH. The pentose phosphates can be regenerated into glucose 6-phosphate, for which NO ATP is required.
  • living organisms regulate the flux of metabolites through metabolic pathways by:
    • increasing or decreasing enzyme concentrations
    • activating or inactivating key enzymes in the pathway
  • the activity of key enzymes in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis is tightly and coordinately regulated via various activating and inhibiting metabolites (Fru 2 ,6P 2 )
  • glycogen synthesis and degradation is regulated by hormones insulin, epinephrine, and glucagon that report on the levels of glucose in the body
  • the citric acid cycle plays important anabolic roles in the cell: Anaplerosis
  • organisms have multiple ways to replenish intermediates that are used in other pathways: Lipid and Nitrogen biosynthesis….......
