Citrate cycle • is a catabolic pathway • participates in anabolic reactions • belongs among oxidative processes • produces carbon dioxide

Amphibolic nature of thecitrate cycle The figure is found athttp://www.tcd.ie/Biochemistry/IUBMB-Nicholson/gif/13.html
Enzymes of the citrate cycle • are found in all cells • are located in a mitochondrion • catalyze freely reverzible reactions • produce coenzymes which are regenerated in a respiratory chain
strongly exergonic reactions The figure is found at http://www.metabolic-database.com/html/body_glutaminolysis__zeichnung3.html (December 2006)
The substances enter the CC • acetyl~CoA • NAD+ and FAD • carbon skeleton of amino acids • GDP

Choose products of the cycle • pyruvate • acetyl-CoA • NADH • FADH2
Products of the citrate cycle The figure is found at http://www.hupe.hu/szerv/tanszekek/kio/im/oktat/SEJTBIO/citratkor/citr_summa_e.html (December 2006)
Energy released from oxidation of acetyl group in the CC is conserved in • GTP • ATP • NADH • FADH2
The figure is found at http://lecturer.ukdw.ac.id/dhira/Metabolism/Respiration.html (December 2006)
NAD+ is reduced to NADH+H+ in the reactions of the CC • isocitrate → -ketoglutarate • -ketoglutarate → succinyl~CoA • succinate → fumarate • malate → oxaloacetate
„F“ →Fumarateand FADH2 The figure is found at http://lecturer.ukdw.ac.id/dhira/Metabolism/Respiration.html (December 2006)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced in the reactions of the CC • oxaloacetate + acetyl~CoA → citrate • citrate → isocitrate • isocitrate → -ketoglutarate • -ketoglutarate → succinyl~CoA
The figure is found at http://lecturer.ukdw.ac.id/dhira/Metabolism/Respiration.html (December 2006)
Choose reactions that lead tonet synthesis of CC intermediates(= anaplerotic reactions) • pyruvate → acetyl~CoA (PDH) • pyruvate → oxaloacetate (pyruvate carboxylase) • aspartate → oxaloacetate (AST) • glutamate → -ketoglutarate (ALT)

The most important anaplerotic reaction: pyruvate carboxylase The figure is found at http://www.bmb.leeds.ac.uk/illingworth/metabol/2120lec3.htm#krebs (December 2006)
The substances can be synthesized from intermediates of the CC • amino acids • heme • glucose • fatty acids
Citrate cycleas a source of substrates used in a synthesis of other molecules The figure is found athttp://www.tcd.ie/Biochemistry/IUBMB-Nicholson/gif/13.html
The enzymes regulate velocity of the CC • citrate synthase • isocitrate dehydrogenase • -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase • hexokinase
The citrate cycle is inhibited by • ATP/ADP • NADH, NAD+ • NADH/NAD+ • AMP
Regulation of the citrate cycle = by availability of substrates and consumption of produts
Citrate • is formed from oxaloacetate and acetic acid • is transported to the cytoplasm if accumulates • acts as an inhibitor of glycolysis • activates synthesis of fatty acids
ATP The figure is found at http://www.metabolic-database.com/html/body_glutaminolysis__zeichnung3.html (December 2006)
