Presentation Transcript

  1. The Citric Acid Cycle (Tricarboxylic Acid Cyle) 1. TCA cycle oxidizes 2 –C units 2. Entry and metabolism controlled 3. Source of precursors 4. Glyoxylate cycle enables plants and bacteria to grow on acetate

  2. Glucose Metabolism Under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions

  3. Citric Acid Cycle takes place in the Matrix of the Mitochondria (Eukaryotic cells, under aerobic conditions)

  4. Citric Acid Cycle is the first step in Cellular Respiration

  5. The link between Glycolysis and Citric Acid Cycle Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (E. coli)

  6. The conversion from Pyruvate -> Acetyl-CoA -> goes in 3 steps: • And requires: • The 3 enzymes of the complex • 5 co-enzymes (thiamine pyrophosphate TPP, lipoic acid, FAD, CoA, and NAD+

  7. Reaction mechanism of the conversion Pyruvate -> Acetyl-CoA Carbanion of TPP Reduced form Oxidized form

  8. Reaction mechanism of the conversion Pyruvate -> Acetyl-CoA Reduced form + 2e- Reduced form Oxidized form Oxidation

  9. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

  10. The Citric Acid Cycle Isomerization Oxidation + Decaroboxylation Generation of electrons Oxidation (Regeneration of Oxaloacetate) Oxidative Decarboxylation

  11. 1. Citric Synthase forms citrate from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA Aldol Condensation

  12. 2. Citrate is isomerized into Isocitrate Hydroxy group is not located correct for decarboxylation reaction -> Isomerization Aconitase

  13. 3. Isocitrate is Oxidized and Decarboxylated to α-Ketoglutarate

  14. 4. Oxidative Decarboxylation of α-Ketoglutarate gives Succinyl-CoA

  15. 5. GTP is generated from Succinyl-CoA

  16. 6. Oxaloacetate is regenerated by Oxidation of Succinate • This metabolic motif-> also found in • fatty acid Synthesis + degradation, • degradation of some AA • Methylene group (CH2) -> carbonyl group (C=O) • Oxidation • Hydration • Oxidation

  17. 3 NADH -> 6e- 1 FADH2 -> 2e- --------------------- ------------> 8e-

  18. Regulation of the Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex Regulation by Allosterie + Phosphorylation

  19. Regulation of the Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

  20. Control of the Citric Acid Cycle

  21. The Citric Acid Cycle is a Source of Precursors ”Fast refill” of oxaloacate by carboxylation of pyruvate (in mammals)

  22. Pathway Integration Pathways active during exercise after a night’s rest Rate of citric acid cycle increases during exercise -> requiring the “refill” of oxaloacetate + acetyl CoA Oxaloacetate -> from pyruvate Acetyl CoA -> pyruvate + fatty acids

  23. Blocking of Pyruvate -> Acetyl-CoA Reaction Relieves the inhibition -> forms complex -> excreted By Poisoning with Hg and As By Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency – Beriberi TPP (thiamine) is co-factor in reaction

  24. The Glyoxylate Cycle • Enables Plant and Bacteria to grow on Acetate • It bypasses the decarboxylation steps of citric acid cycle • Enzymes that allow conversion from acetate into succinate are in blue boxes • Intake of 2 acetyl groups/cycle • production of succinate -> glucose • regeneration of oxaloacetate from glyoxylate
