  1. Introduction of Glucose Metabolism Lecture-2 Glycolysis

  2. Glycolysis Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to: 1- Provide energyin the form of ATP (main function) 2- Provide intermediatesfor other metabolic pathways. It occurs in cytosolsof all tissues All sugars can be converted to glucose & thus can be metabolized by glycolysis.

  3. End products of glycolysis 1- In cells with mitochondria & an adequate supply of oxygen (Aerobic glycolysis) - Pyruvate: enters the mitochondria & is converted into acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA enters citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to yield energy in the form of ATP - NADH: utilizes mitochondria & oxygen to yield energy 2- In cells with no mitochondria or adequate oxygen (or Both) (Anaerobic glycolysis) Lactate: formed from pyruvate (by utilizing NADH)

  13. Energy yield from glycolysis 1- Anerobic glycolysis 2 molecule of ATP for each one molecule of glucose converted to 2 molecules of lactate It is a valuable source of energy under the following conditions 1- Oxygen supply is limited as in 2- Tissues with no mitochondria skeletal muscles during intensive exercise Kidney medulla RBCs Leukocytes Lens & cornea cells Testes 2-Aerobic glycolysis 2 moles of ATP for each one mol of glucose converted to 2 moles of pyruvate 2 molecules of NADH for each molecule of glucose 2 X 3 ATPs for each NADH entering electric transport chain (ETC) in mitochondria.

  14. Energy yield from glycolysis In anaerobic glycolysis: 2 ATP for one glucose molecule In aerobic glycolysis Glycolysis: 2 ATP 2 NADH: 2 X 3 = 6 ATP NADH Pyruvate Acetyl CoA 2 Pyruvate produce 2 Acetyl CoA (& 2 NADH): 2 X 3 = 6 ATP 2 AcetlCoA in citric acid cycle: 2 X 12 = 24 ATP

  15. Energy yield of aerobic glycolysis Energy yield of anaerobic glycolysis GLUCOSE Net = 38 ATP / glucose molecule Net = 2 ATP/ glucose molecule 2NAD+ 2 ATP 2 NADH = 2 X 3 = 6 ATP No Oxygen No Mitochondria OR BOTH Oxygen & Mitochondria 2 Lactate 2 PYRUVATE 2NAD+ 2 NADH = 2 X 3 = 6 ATP 2 ACETYL CoA CITRIC ACID CYCLE = 2 X 12 = 24 ATP

  16. ENERGY PRODUCTIONOxidative phosphorylation & Substrate-level phosphorylation Oxidative phosphorylation:  The formation of high-energy phosphate bonds by phosphorylation of ADP to ATP coupled to the the electron transport chain (ETC) that occurs in the mitochondria. Substrate-levelphosphorylation:  The formation of high-energy phosphate bonds by phosphorylation of ADP to ATP (or GDP to GTP) It is coupled to cleavage of a high-energy metabolic intermediate (substrate). It may occur in cytosol or mitochondria Example: in glycolysis ATPs are produced

  17. Regulation of key enzyme of glycolysis The regulation of the activity of key enzyme is conducted through: 1- General: (occurs in all types of enzymes in the body) increasing substrate concentration will lead to increase activity of the enzyme 2-Special regulatory mechanisms: i- Allosteric effectors ii- Covalent modification iii. Induction/Repression of enzyme synthesis( long –term regulation)

  18. Example of Covalent Modification (short-term regulation)

  19. Long-term Regulation of glycolysisInduction & Respressionof enzymes synthesis Insulin: Induction Glucagon: Repression

  20. Genetic defects of glycolytic enzymes Pyruvate kinase deficiency Pyruvatekinase (PK) deficiency leads to a reduced rate of glycolysis with decreased ATP production. PK deficiency effect is restricted RBCs. As RBCs has no mitochondria & so get ATP only from glycolysis. RBCs needs ATP mainly for maintaining the bio- concave flexible shape of the cell. PK deficiency leads to severe deficiency of ATP for RBCs. So, RBCs fail to maintain bi-concave shape ending in liability to be lysed (hemolysis). Excessive lysis of RBCs leads to chronic hemolytic anemia.
