Cards

Term
Citrate Synthase
Definition
Acetyl-CoA + OAA → Citrate + CoASH .

Rapid and Exergonic. Break thioester bond.

Inhibited by NADH and succinyl CoA

Important in bacteria not man
Term
Aconitase
Definition
Citrate -> Isocitrate (dehydration)

Poisioned by Zn++, fluro-acetate

Zn inhibits enzymes requuiring bivalent metal cofactors
Term
Isocitrate Dehydrogenase
Definition
Isocitrate + NAD+ → NADH + H+ + α-ketoglutarate + CO2

Oxidation and Decarboxylation

Major regulater:
Inhibited: NADH, ATP
Activated: ADP, Ca++

Phosphorlation at serine prevents binding of isocitrate
Term
α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
Definition
α-ketoglutarate + CoASH + NAD+  succinyl CoA + NADH + H+ + CO2

Oxidation and decarboxylation

Similar to Pyr DEH(requires CoASH and other coenzymes) However not regulated by phosphorylation

Inhibited: ATP, GTP, NADH, Succinyl-CoA
Activated: Ca+

Arenite poisoning
Term
Arenite poisoning
Definition
AsO3-- binds reactive –SH groups(Cysteine)

α-ketoglutarate Deh, Pyruvate Deh and Succinate Deh
Term
Succinate thiokinase
Definition
Succinyl-CoA + GDP + Pi  Succinate + CoASH + GTP

Breaks high-energy thioester bond.

Recycles CoASH in matrix(used in α-ketoglutarate deh step)
Term
Succinate Dehydrogenase
Definition
Succinate + FAD ←→ Fumarate + FADH2

Enzyme is only membrane bound in TCA cycle

Inhibited by Arsenite/aresenate(AsO32-)
Term
Malate Dehydrogenase
Definition
Malate + NAD+ ←→ Oxaloacetate + NADH + H+

Oxidation to produce NADH vs oxidative decarboxylations of two other NADH produced
Term
Major regulatory factor of Pyr Deh and TCA cycle
Definition
NAD+ / NADH ratio.

Tied to oxidative phosphorylation. Replenishes NAD+ and FAD
Term

Destination of TCA intermediates

Citrate

a-ketoglutarate

Succinyl-CoA

OAA

Definition

Citrate → Fatty Acids, Steroids

α-ketoglutarate → Glutamate → Amino Acids, purines Succcinyl-CoA → Heme, chlorophyll

OAA → Aspartate → Amino acids, purines, pyrimidine’s

 

Enzymes must be inhibited

Term
Glycerophosphate Shuttle
Definition

DHAP + NADH → Glycerol-3-P + NAD+. Glyercerol-3-P can cross mitochondria membrane. In inner membrane Glycerol-3-P + FAD → FADH2 + DHAP DHAP returns to cytosol.

Glycerophosphate deh is enzyme

e- shuttled to FADH2

Term
Malate-Aspartate Shuttle
Definition
OAA reduced to Malate. NADH → NAD+ Malate moves to matrix

Malate Oxidized to OAA in mitochondria. NADH is now in matrix.

OAA transaminated to create α-ketoglutarate and aspartate; moves to cytosol

in cytosol. α-ketoglutarate + aspartate → OAA and glutamate

Shuttling of e- to make NADH
