Presentation Transcript

  1. Citric Acid Cycle

  2. Gylcolysis Electron Transport and Oxidative phosphorylation TCA Cycle

  3. The TCA Cycle • (aka Citric Acid Cycle, Krebs Cycle) • Pyruvate (actually acetate) from glycolysis is degraded to CO2 • Some ATP is produced • More NADH is made • NADH goes on to make more ATP in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation

  4. Entry into the TCA Cycle • Pyruvate is translocated from the cytosol to the mitochondria • Pyruvate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form acetyl-CoA • Pyruvate dehydrogenase uses TPP, CoASH, lipoic acid, FAD and NAD+ • Acetyl-CoA then enters TCA cycle thru citrate synthase

  5. Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Composed of three enzymes: • pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) (cofactor = TPP) • Dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) (cofactor = Lipoamide, CoA) • Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) (cofactor = FAD, NAD+)

  6. Pyruvate Dehydrogenase

  7. Citrate Synthase • Only step in TCA cycle that involves the formation of a C-C bond

  8. Aconitase • Isomerization of Citrate to Isocitrate • Citrate is a poor substrate for oxidation • So aconitase isomerizes citrate to yield isocitrate which has a secondary-OH, which can be oxidized • Aconitase uses an iron-sulfur cluster to position citrate (binds –OH and carboxyl of central carbon)

  9. Isocitrate Dehydrogenase • Oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to yield  -ketoglutarate • Classic NAD+ chemistry (hydride removal) followed by a decarboxylation • Isocitrate dehydrogenase is a link to the electron transport pathway because it makes NADH • Rxn is metabolically irreversible

  10.  -Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase • A second oxidative decarboxylation • This enzyme is nearly identical to pyruvate dehydrogenase - structurally and mechanistically • Five coenzymes used - TPP, CoASH, Lipoic acid, NAD+, FAD

  11. Succinyl-CoA Synthetase • A substrate-level phosphorylation • A nucleoside triphosphate is made (ATP in plants/bacteria and GTP in animals) • Its synthesis is driven by hydrolysis of a CoA ester

  12. Succinate Dehydrogenase • An oxidation involving FAD • Mechanism involves hydride removal by FAD and a deprotonation • This enzyme is actually part of the electron transport pathway in the inner mitochondrial membrane • The electrons transferred from succinate to FAD (to form FADH2) are passed directly to ubiquinone (UQ) in the electron transport pathway • Enzyme inhibited by malonate

  13. Fumarase • Hydration across the double bond • trans-addition of the elements of water across the double bond • Stereospecific reaction

  14. Malate Dehydrogenase • An NAD+-dependent oxidation • The carbon that gets oxidized is the one that received the-OH in the previous reaction • This reaction is energetically expensive • Go' = +30 kJ/mol

  15. Reduced Coenzymes Fuel ATP Production • Acetyl-CoA + 3 NAD+ + Q + GDP + Pi +2 H20  HS-CoA + 3NADH + QH2 + GTP + 2 CO2 + 2 H+ • Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 NADH=2.5 ATP • a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase 1 NADH=2.5 ATP • Succinyl-CoA synthetase 1 GTP=1 ATP • Sunccinate dehydrogenase 1 QH2=1.5 ATP • Malate Dehydrogenase 1 NADH=2.5 ATP • Total of 10 ATPs gained from oxidation of 1 Acetyl-CoA

  16. Regulation of TCA Cycle

  17. TCA Cycle provides intermediates for many biosynthetic processes

  18. The Anaplerotic Reactions • The "filling up" reactions • PEP carboxylase - converts PEP to oxaloacetate • Pyruvate carboxylase - converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate • Malic enzyme converts pyruvate into malate
