-
Gluconeogenesis
- -Synthesis of Glucose from non-hexose precursors
- -Occurs in all animals plants fungi and micro-organisms
-
Where does gluconeogenesis occur
- 95% in liver
- some in kidney
- (Glucose-6-phosphatase only exists in liver and kidney)
-
What precursors do animals use for gluconeogenesis?
Lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, and amino acids
-
What precursors do plants use for glyconeogenesis?
stored fats, proteins  sucrose
-
What precursors do micro-organisms use for glyconeogenesis?
simple organic compounds: acetate, lactate, propionate  Glucose
-
What are the 3 bypass reactions in gluconeogenesis that differ from glycolosis?
- 1) Pyruvate
oxaloacetate - oxaloacetate
phosphoenolpyruvate
2) fructose 1,6-phosphate  fructose 6-phosphate
3) Glucose 6-Phosphate  Glucose
-
Pyruvate to oxaloacetate
- Pyruvate+CO2+ATP
ADP+Pi+Oxaloacetate - Enz: Pyruvate Carboxylase with Bioitin Prosthesis
- Irreversable

-
Biotin (B7)
a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes, involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, isoleucine, and valine, and in gluconeogenesis.
-
Oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate
- Oxaloaceetate+GTP
CO2+GDP+phosphoenolpyruvate - Enz: PEP carboxykinase
- **Oxaloacetate is essentially just phosphoralized

-
If Oxaloaceetate  phosphoenolpyruvate reaction occurs outside of mitochondria what what must occur?
- Oxaloacetate+NADH
NAD++Malate - (to transport out of mitochondria)
- Enz: Mitochondrial Malate Dehydrogenase
- Malate+NAD+
NADH+Oxaloacetate - (to proceed with reaction)
- Enz: cytosolic Malate Dehydrogenase
**Oxaloacetate can not be transported out of mitochondria
-
Fructose 1,6-phosphate  Fructose 6-phosphate
- Fructose 1,6-phosphate+H2O
 - Pi+Fructose 6-phosphate
- Enz: Fructose 1,6-biphosphatase(FBPase-1)
- irreversable
-
Glucose-6-phosphate  Glucose
- Glucose-6-phosphate+H2O
Glucose+Pi - Enz: Glucose 6-phosphatase
- irreversable
-
At what reactions are the 11 ATP equivalences required?
- 1)2 ATP Pyruvate-oxaloacetate
- 2)2 GTP Oxaloacetate-PEP
- 3)2 ATP 3-phosphoglycerate-1,3bisphosphoglycerate
- 4) 2 NADH 1,3phosphoglycerate-Glyceraldehyde 3-P
