Where does the TCA Cycle occur ?
Is it a aerobic or anaerobic process ?
Occurs totally in the mitochondria and is therefore in close proximity to the reactions of the ETC
Aerobic
Before the cycle begins pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA by what complex ?
pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
What makes up the pyruvate dehydrogenase
complex ? Each catalyze part of the overall reaction
1.Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1)
2.Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2)
3.Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3)
How many coenzymes does PDH have ?
5 coenzymes
What are the coenzymes for PDH ?
1.Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1)
2.Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2)
3.Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3)
E1 requires Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)
E2 requires Lipoic acid and CoA
E3 requires FAD and NAD+
Arsenic poisoning is due primarily to inhibition of enzymes that require what coenzyme ?
Lipoic Acid
A deficiency of Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) will cause what ?
The inability to convert pyruvate to acetyl CoA will make ?
congenital lactic acidosis
lactate
What are the NADH producing step in the TCA cycle ?
Pyruvate
Isocitrate
a-ketoglutarate
Malate
What are the FADH producing steps in the TCA cycle ?
Succinate
What are the GTP producing step in the TCA cycle ?
Succinyl Coa
The condensation of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate is catalyzed by what enzyme ?
citrate synthase
Citrate is isomerized to isocitrate by what enzyme ?
aconitase
What enzyme catalyzes the irreversible oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to form α-ketoglutarate ?
Isocitrate dehydrogenase
The conversion of α-ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA is catalyzed by what enzyme ?
α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex.
The cleavage of succinyl CoA to form succinate is catalyzed by the what
enzyme ?
succinyl CoA synthetase
Succinate is oxidized to fumarate by what enzyme ?
succinate dehydrogenase
What is the only enzyme of the TCA cycle
that is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane ?
Succinate dehydrogenase
Fumarate is hydrated to malate by what enzyme ?
fumarase
Malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by what enzyme ?
malate dehydrogenase
The most important of TCA's
these regulated enzymes are those that catalyze reactions with highly negative ∆Go: Which are they ?
1.Citrate synthase
2.Isocitrate dehydrogenase
3.α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex
What is the gross and net production of ATP for glycolysis ?
Gross = 4
Net = 2
Where is gluconeogensis taking place overnight ?
What about a prolonged fast ?
90% liver and 10% Kidneys
40% kidneys
