  1. PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY (Hexose monophosphate pathway) • Learning objectives: • List the two phases (oxidative and non-oxidative) of the • pentose phosphate pathway • List key enzymes involved in the pathway • Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase • Transketolase • Transaldolase • List key compounds involved in the pathway: • Glucose 6-phosphate • NADPH • Ribose 5-phosphate • Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate • Fructose 6-phosphate • Discuss functions of the pentose phosphate pathway in cell metabolism

  2. The cell needs “reducing power” for biosynthesis and protection against oxidative stress. The “reducing power” is NADPH :H- H H NAD+ NADP+ NADPH

  3. The cell needs ribose 5-phosphate for synthesis of nucleotides used in DNA, RNA, NAD+, NADP+, FAD, and Coenzyme A CH2OH Ι H - C – OH Ι H – C – OH Ι H – C – OH Ι CH2OPO32- Ribose 5-phosphate PO32--OH2 OH O H H H H OH OH Ribose 5-phosphate The pentose phosphate pathways provides both NADPH and ribose 5-phosphate

  14. Different outcomes of the pentose phosphate pathway The needs for NADPH and ribose 5-phosphate are balanced: Glucose 6-phosphate + 2 NADP+ + H2O → Ribose 5-phosphate + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + CO2 The cell needs more NADPH than ribose 5-phosphate: Glucose 6-phosphate + 12 NADP+ + 7H2O → 12 NADPH + 12 H+ + 6 CO2 + Pi The cell needs more ribose 5-phosphate than NADPH: 5 Glucose 6-phosphate + ATP → 6 Ribose 5-phosphate + ADP

  15. In addition to the pentose pathway, NADPH can be generated by the malic enzyme Malic enzyme + NADP+ + NADPH + H+ + CO2 Malate is generated in the mitochondria by the TCA (Krebs) cycle. Erythrocytes which lack mitochondria are thus particularly susceptible to oxidative damage Defective glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase is the most common enzymatic defect in humans affecting hundreds of millions of people. Hemolytic anemia can occur if the individual experience oxidative stress, e.g. when treated with oxidant drugs or contract a severe infection.
