Glycolysis
------ Anaerobic metabolism of glucose
From glucose to pyruvate
![Page 10: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of cells
• 10 steps from glucose to pyruvate
• No need for oxygen
• Produce pyruvate, ATP and NADH.
![Page 11: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pathway of glycolysis
![Page 12: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Glycolysis
• Overview.Three stages.
• Investment stage :– Glucose to glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.– 2 ATPs required.
• Splitting stage.– F-1,6-BP to two triose phosphate.
• Yield stage: – Triose phosphate to pyruvate– 4 ATPs and 2 NADHs are produced.
– 4 ATPs – 2 ATPs = 2 ATPs net.

1. Hexokinase catalyzes: Glucose + ATP glucose-6-P + ADP
A phosphoanhydride bond of ATP (~P) is cleaved.
![Page 14: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. Phosphohexose Isomerase catalyzes:
glucose-6-P (aldose) fructose-6-P (ketose)
![Page 15: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. Phosphofructokinase-1 catalyzes: fructose-6-P + ATP fructose-1,6-bisP + ADP
This is the rate-limiting step of Glycolysis!
![Page 16: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. Aldolase catalyzes: fructose-1,6-bisphosphate dihydroxyacetone-P + glyceraldehyde-3-P
The reaction is an aldol cleavage, the reverse of an aldol condensation.
![Page 17: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
5. Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TIM) catalyzes:
dihydroxyacetone-P glyceraldehyde-3-P
Glycolysis continues from glyceraldehyde-3-P.
![Page 18: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
6. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase catalyzes:
glyceraldehyde-3-P + NAD+ + Pi
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H+
This is the only step in Glycolysis in which NAD+ is reduced to NADH.
![Page 19: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
7. Phosphoglycerate Kinase catalyzes: 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP
One ATP is synthesized in this step
![Page 20: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
8. Phosphoglycerate Mutase catalyzes: 3-phosphoglycerate 2-phosphoglycerate
Phosphate is shifted from the OH on C3 to the OH on C2.
![Page 21: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
9. Enolase catalyzes:
2-phosphoglycerate phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O
NaF can inhibits activity of enolase
![Page 22: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
10. Pyruvate Kinase catalyzes:
phosphoenolpyruvate + ADP pyruvate + ATP
One ATP is synthesized in this step
Removal of Pi from PEP yields an unstable enol, which spontaneously converts to the keto form of pyruvate.

What happened for 2 pyruvates? Basically three options depending on the environmental conditions
![Page 26: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In animal tissues under anaerobic conditions
• Reoxidize NADH to NAD+ that is needed for glycolysis;• Lactate, end-product of fermentation, serves as a form of nutrient energy• Cell membranes contain carrier proteins that facilitate transport of lactate.
![Page 27: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Skeletal muscles ferment glucose to lactate during exercise, when the exercise is brief and intense.
Lactate released to the blood may be taken up by other tissues, or by skeletal muscle after exercise, and converted via Lactate Dehydrogenase back to pyruvate, which may be oxidized in Citric Acid Cycle or (in liver) converted to back to glucose via gluconeogenesis
Lactate serves as a fuel source for cardiac muscle as well as brain neurons.
![Page 28: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Fermentation in yeast
Some anaerobic organisms metabolize pyruvate to ethanol. NADH is converted to NAD+ in the reaction catalyzed by Alcohol
Dehydrogenase.
![Page 29: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Regulation of Glycolysis
• In 3 irreversible steps• In 3 important enzymes hexokinase/glucokinase; phosphofructokinase-1; pyruvate kinase • PFK-1 is rate limiting enzyme and primary site of regulation.
![Page 30: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hexokinase
Inhibited by product glucose-6-phosphate:
by competition at the active site
by allosteric interaction at a separate enzyme site.
Cells trap glucose by phosphorylating it, preventing exit
through glucose carriers.
![Page 31: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Glucokinase has a higher KM for glucose. It is active only at high
[glucose].
Glucokinase is not subject to product inhibition by glucose-6-
phosphate. Liver will take up & phosphorylate glucose even when
liver [glucose-6-phosphate] is high.
Glucokinase
--a variant of hexokinase found in liver.
![Page 32: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1)
• The rate-limiting step of the Glycolysis pathway
• Inducible enzyme
– Induced in feeding by insulin

![Page 33: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Activated by fructose-1,6-biphosphate
• Inhibited by ATP
Pyruvate Kinase
![Page 34: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Glycolysis is important for erythrocytes
Erythrocyte:• Simplest cell in body.
• No subcellular organelles.
• No DNA-RNA-protein synthesis.
• No mitochondria—no oxidative phosphorylation
• Relies exclusively on glucose as fuel.
– Glucose derived from blood.
– Yields ATP from glycolysis.
– End product is lactate.
![Page 35: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2,3-bisphosphoglycerate pathway in RBC
![Page 36: We eat, we digest, we absorb, then what? Three fates for nutrients](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814764550346895db4a0e3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) is present in human red blood cells at approximately 5 mmol/L.
• It binds with greater affinity to deoxygenated hemoglobin (e.g. when the red cell is near respiring tissue) than it does to oxygenated hemoglobin (e.g. in the lungs).
• In bonding to partially deoxygenated hemoglobin it upregulates the release of the remaining oxygen molecules bound to the hemoglobin, thus enhancing the ability of RBCs to release oxygen near tissues that need it most.
