Cards

Term
nucleoside diphosphate kinase
Definition
carries phosphoryl groups from ATP to other nucleotides (2 step)
Term
adenylate kinase
Definition
takes ADP to replenish ATP that accumulates from nucleoside diphosphate kinase
Term
creatine kinase
Definition
uses phosphocreatine as source of phosphoryl group for ADP to ATP
Term
phosphagen
Definition
phosphoryl reservoirs like phosphocreatine or inorganic polyphosphate
Term
oxidoreductases
Definition
(or dehydrogenases) catalyze reactions NADH/NADPH reactions
A and B type
Term
pellagra
Definition
from deficiency in niacin
4 D's
Term
3 catabolic fates for pyruvate
Definition
1. aerobic conditions: oxidized, citric acid cycle; ATP synthesis
2. lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate reduced to lactate
3. ethanol fermentation
also anabolic fates for synthesis of alanine/fatty acids
Term
hexokinase
Definition
step 1 of glycolysis
glucose to glucose 6-phosphate with MgATP2-
binds glucose and ATP to bring them close together
4 isozymes: IV in liver
Term
phosphohexose isomerase
Definition
step 2 of glycolysis
glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate
aldose to ketose
ring opens, cis-enediol intermediate
reversible
Term
phosphofructokinase-I (PFK-I)
Definition
step 3 of glycolysis
fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
irreversible; key regulation point
phsophoryl from ATP (some bac. use PPi)
allosteric regulation by [ATP]
Term
fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase
Definition
step 4 of glycolysis
fructose 1,6-bisphosphate cleaved to 2 triose phosphates
reversible aldol condensation
get glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Schiff base int.
Term
triose phosphate isomerase
Definition
step 5 of glycolysis
converts dihydroxyacetone to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
reversible and rapid
Term
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
Definition
step 6 of glycolysis
oxidizes glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
using inorganic phosphate
NAD+ reduced to NADH
first energy conserving reaction: acyl phosphate formed has high ∆G of hydrolysis
Term
phosphoglycerate kinase
Definition
step 7 of glycolysis
transfers phosphoryl group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate's acyl phosphate to ADP making 3-phosphoglycerate
substrate level phosphorylation
reversible
named for reverse reaction
Term
phosphoglycerate mutase
Definition
step 8 of glycolysis
shift of phosphoryl group from C-3 to C-2 to 2-phosphoglycerate
2 steps with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate int.
mutase has to be charged/phosphorylated with 2,3-bpg in the first place to work
reversible
Term
enolase
Definition
step 9 of glycolysis
dehydration: removes H2O from 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate (a high potential compound)
reversible
redistributes the electrons
Term
pyruvate kinase
Definition
step 10 of glycolysis
transfer of phosphoryl group from PEP to ADP yielding pyruvate in enol form which tautomerizes to keto form
named for reverse reaction
Term
type I diabetes mellitus
Definition
too few pancreatic beta-cells that release insulin which triggers glucose uptake by cells (GLUT4 transporters)
high blood glucose can't get into cells
fatty acid catabolism for ATP syn. releases ketone bodies in blood which causes ketoacidosis
Term
phosphoglucomutase
Definition
catalyzes conversion of glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate
Term
lactate dehydrogenase
Definition
reduces pyruvate to lactate and reoxidizes NADH to NAD+ (important to replenishing NAD+)
also reverse reaction in gluconeogenesis step 1
Term
vitamin B1
Definition
thiamine pyrophosphate coenzyme need by pyruvate decarboxylase
involved in reactions that break a carbon-carbon bond
acts as electron sink
Term
ethanol fermentation
Definition
another way to replenish NAD+
pyruvate decarboxylase decarboxylates pyruvate to acetaldehyde (irreversibly)
alcohol dehydrogenase reduces acetaldehyde to ethanol (oxidizing NADH)
Term
pyruvate carboxylase
Definition
gluconeogenesis step 1
with coenzyme biotin converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate
uses ATP
Term
malate dehydrogenase
Definition
gluconeogenesis step 1
reduces oxaloacetate to malate in mitochondria using NADH so it can leave mitochondria and get reoxidized to oxaloacetate in cytosol producing NADH
Term
phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
Definition
gluconeogenesis bypass 1
converts oxaloacetate to PEP using GTP
Term
three gluconeogenesis bypass reactions
Definition
step 1 pyruvate to PEP
step 9 fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate
step 11 glucose 6-phosphate to glucose
Term
fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase
Definition
gluconeogenesis step 9 (2nd bypass)
hydrolyzes one phosphate at C-1 from fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to form fructose 6-phosphate and Pi
irreversible
Term
glucose 6-phosphatase
Definition
gluconeogenesis step 11 (3rd bypass)
hydrolysis of phosphate esterto yield glucose and Pi
Term
glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
Definition
pentose phosphate pathway step 1
oxidizes glucose 6-phosphate to 6-phosphoglucono-∂-lactone
NADP+ reduced to NADPH
regulated by NADP+ levels (high increases activity)
Term
lactonase
Definition
pentose phosphate pathway step 2
hydrolyzes lactone to 6-phosphogluconate
