Cards

Term
Problem with doing glycolysis in the liver
Definition
ATP inhibits PK and PFK, and the ATP/ADP ratio does not change much in the liver
Term
Role of Fructose 2,6 bisphosphate
Definition
overrides the inhibition on PFK-1
Term
Domains of F-2,6 bisphosphatase
Definition
  • PFK-2 (add phosphate to two position)
  • biphosphatase (remove phosphate from 2 position)
Term
How is F2,6 biP controlled
Definition
  • if dephosphorylated, PFK-2 is functional (very active if insulin present- remember, insulin dephosphorylates substances)
  • if phosphorylated, phosphatase is functional
Term
How do we overcome negative influence of ATP on PK?
Definition
build up of F 1,6 phosphate overides ATP levels
Term
Process of making cytosolic acetyl CoA
Definition
  1. start by combining acetyl CoA and OAA to make citrate via citrate synthase
  2. make isocitrate, IDH will be inhibit
  3. allows for isocitrate to go back to make citrate (cause build up of citrate)
  4. via transporter, citrate goes into cytosol
  5. citrate hydrolyzed to make OAA and acetyl-CoA via citrate lyase
  6. acetyl-CoA goes into FA synthesis
Term
Fate of OAA in cytosol
Definition
  1. OAA and NADH make NAD and malate via malate DH
    • allows us to keep running glycolysis (produce NAD)
  2. take malate and NADP and create CO2, pyruvate, and NADPH via malic enzyme
  3. pyruvate goes back into matrix via transporter to be converted to acetyl CoA via PDH
    1. pyruvate could also be converted to OAA in matrix via pyruvate carboxylase (if acetyl CoA builds up)
Term
Purpose of pentose phosphate shunt pathway
Definition
regnerate NADPH needed for fatty acid synthesis
Term
Two different pathways of pentose phsophate pathway/ hexose monophopshate pathway (HMP)
Definition
  1. oxidative pathway to generate NADPH (irreversible path)
  2. non-oxidative pathway to generate ribose-5 phosphate for nucleotide biosynthesis (freely reversible)
Term
Process of oxidative pathway of pentose phosphate pathway
Definition
  1. G6P and NADP form NADPH and 6PG lactone via G6P dehydrogenase
    1. reacts with glucose in ring form and oxidizes anomeric carbon
  2. 6PG lactone turned into linear form: 6PG via lactonase
  3. 6PG and NADP create NADPH, CO2, and ribulose 5-phosphate via 6PG DH
    1. controlled by cytosolic NADPH/NADP ratio
Term
Location of pentose phosphate pathway
Definition
cytosolic cells of liver
Term
Process of nonoxidative pathway of pentose phosphate pathway
Definition
  1. two F6P and G3P creates three ribulose 5 phosphate via transketolase, followed by transaldolase, followed by another transketolase
    1. transketolase requires thiamine pyrophosphate
  2. three ribulose 5 phosphate to three ribose 5 phosphate via isomerase
    1. used for nucleotide biosynthesis

 

Term
Explain what is ment by non-oxid path of HMP pathhway can be used as a salvage pathway
Definition
used to convert excess ribulose 5 phosphate generated by oxidative path back to intermediates of glycolytic path
Term
How do we elongate palmitate in liver
Definition
via elongase, we use malonyl CoA as a donor of two carbones and NADPH as the reducing agent and follow the same pattern we used to make palmitate: reduction, remove water, reduction
Term
Describe process of synthesis of oleyl CoA
Definition
  1. palmityl CoA and malonyl CoA create CO2, CoA, and stearyl CoA via elongase
  2. stearyl CoA, oxygen, and 2 cyc b5 (ferrous) create 2 waters, 2 cyc 5 (ferric), and oleyl-CoA via fatty acyl-CoA desaturase
    1. regenerate ferric form of cyc 5 using cyc b5 reductase (coenzyme; FAD) and using NADPH as our reducing agent
Term
Cellular location of monooxygenases that insert double bonds
Definition
ER membrane
Term
How do we control movement of fatty acids into matrix
Definition
malonyl CoA is a negative inhibitor of the fatty acyl-CoA carnitine transferase I
Term
Process to synthesize TAG's
Definition
  1. alpha glycerol phosphate and 2 fatty acyl-CoA's converted to 2 CoA's and phosphatidate via acyl-CoA transferase
  2. phosphatidate converted to inorganic phosphate and DAG via phosphatidine phosphatase
  3. DAG and fatty acyl CoA converted to TAG and CoA via acyl-CoA transferase
  4. TAG packaged with cholesterol, apo B100, and phospholipids into VLDL's which are released into the blood
Term
Cellular location of synthesis of TAG
Definition
ER
Term
Sources of glycerol 3 phosphate
Definition
  1. DHAP and NADH create NAD and alpha glycerol phosphate via alpha glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase
  2. glycerol and ATP converted to alpha glycerol phosphate and ADP via glycerokinase
    1. only found in the liver (liver is the only one with enzyme)
