Lecture 30 Pyruvate Oxidation and the Citric Acid Cycle
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex • Complex enzyme • 60 polypeptides of 3 kinds • In mitocondrion matrix • Regulated • Inhibited by NADH and GTP • Stimulated by insulin
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex • Three enzymes and 5 coenzymes Total MW: 4.5 x 106! Also present: regulatory protein kinase, phosphatase
PDH: The Overall Reaction • Acetyl-CoA enter Krebs cycle • NADH passes e– to O2
Importance of the Krebs Cycle 1. Central energy-yielding path 2. Point of convergence of catabolism of fats, CHO, protein 3. Source of precursors for biosynthesis
Citrate Synthase: “Condensing Enzyme” ∆Gº= –32.2 kJ/mol
Aconitase ∆Gº = +13.3 kJ/mol
Isocitrate Dehydrogenase ∆Gº= –20.9 kJ/mol
-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase Complex ∆Gº= –33.5 kJ/mol
-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase Complex • Cofactors: FAD, NAD+, lipoate, TPP, CoASH • Mechanism PDH complex
Succinic Thiokinase ∆Gº= –2.9 kJ/mol
Succinic Thiokinase • Multistep reaction:
Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase • Also uses • CTP • UTP • So NTPs are in equilibrium with each other ∆Gº= 0
Succinate Dehydrogenase • Enzyme is membrane bound ∆Gº= 0
Fumarase (Fumarate Hydratase) ∆Gº= –3.8 kJ/mol
Malate Dehydrogenase ∆Gº= +29.7 kJ/mol [OAA] normally < 10-6 M
Fate of NADH, FADH2ATP • Each NADH3 ATP • Each FADH22 ATP
