Citric Acid Cycle Generates Reductive Equivalents Utilized in Respiration
Citric Acid Cycle: A Two Stage Process Stage One: C4 + C2 condensation C6tricarboxylic acid Oxidative decarboxylation 2 CO2SuccinylCoA Net Result: 2NADH + 2CO2 + SuccinylCoA
C4 + C2 Condensation Reaction Condensation catalyzed by enzyme dimer Citrate Synthase RxN Driver
Citrate to Isocitrate Conversion via Aconitase Hydroxyl shift for subsequent oxidative decarboxylation
IsocitrateDehydrogenase: Oxidation and Decarboxylation Oxalosuccinate not released from the enzyme
α-KetoglutarateDehydrogenase: Oxidation and Decarboxylation How similar is α-ketoglutaratedehydrogenase with pyruvatedehydrogenase in terms of substrate components? Reaction mechanism?
Citric Acid Cycle Part Two: Oxaloacetate Regeneration Succinyl Coenzyme A Synthetase couples hydrolysis of Coenzyme A (-33 kJ/mol) with GTP formation (-30 kJ/mol) The energetics works but what about the reaction mechanism?
SuccinylCoA-Sythetase Generates GTP What is the Nu:-, E, and leaving group with GTP generation?
Oxaloacetate Enzyme Regeneration from Succinate • SuccinateDehydrogenase • Fumerase • MalateDehydrogenase
A Color-Coded Citric Acid Cycle Isocitrate is prochiral Succinate is a symmetric molecule Generated products include: 2CO2 + 3NADH + 1FADH2 + GTP + CoA
Citric Acid Cycle Regulation Points ATP and NADH are indicators of a high energy state ADP an indicator of a low energy state Regulatory sites include: Isocitratedehydrogenase α-Ketoglutaratedehydrogenase Pyruvatedehydrogenase
Citric Acid Cycle Intermediates: Replenished as Metabolites are Drawn Off for Biosynthesis Anapleurotic reactions lead to a replenishment of pathway components (e.g.pyruvatecarboxylase).
