TCA CYCLE, ENERGY PRODUCTION, REGULATION, ANAPLEROTIC REACTIONS …
TCA CYCLE
PART 1
Citrate & Succinyl-CoA
Oxidative decarboxylation
removes 3 -COOH groups as CO2
Produce
2 NADH
PART 2
Succinyl-CoA & Oxaloacetate
Regeneration of Oxaloacetate
Produce
1 NADH
and
1 FADH2
STEP 1
Acetyl-CoA + Oxaloacetate -> Citrate
ENZYME:
Citrate synthase
Inhibited by citrate (product) & succinyl-CoA (step 4 products)
Binding generates binding site for acetyl-CoA
allosteric regulation
STEP 2
Citrate --> Isocitrate
ENZYME:
Aconitase
catalyzed de-hydration & re-hydration reactions
Fe-S protein
Inhibited by:
fluoroacetate
(rat poision/plant toxin)
Isomerization of citrate
STEP 3
Isocitrate --> a-Ketoglutarate
Oxidative decarboxylation reaction
Yields
1st
NADH
1st
CO2
IRREVERSIBLE!
Rate-Limiting Step!
ENZYME:
Isocitrate dehydrogenase
allosterically activated by ADP (
low energy signal
)
&
Ca2+ (
muscle contraction
)
STEP 4:
a-Ketoglutarate -> Succinyl-CoA
Oxidative decarboxylation
Releases:
2nd CO2 & NADH
ENZYME:
a-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
inhibited
by ATP, GRP, NADH, succinyl-CoA
activated
by Ca2+ (muscle contraction)
Succinyl-CoA has
high-energy bond
STEP 5:
Succincyl-CoA-> Succinate
Produces
1 GTP
--> ATP
Substrate-level phosphorylation!
ENZYME:
Succinate Thiokinase
(
succinyl-CoA synthetase
STEP 6:
Succinate -> Fumarate
ENZYME:
Succinate dehydrogenase
ONLY enzyme that is embedded in
inner mitochondrial membrane
also in
Complex II
of
ETC
!
STEP 7:
Fumarate -> Malate
ENZYME:
Fumarase
H20 added to fumarate double bond
freely reversible reaction
STEP 8:
Malate-> Oxaloacetate
ENZYME:
Malate dehydrogenase

ENERGY PRODUCTION
1 Glucose -> 2 acetyl-CoA
12 ATP/acetyl-CoA oxidized
1 glucose = 36 or 38 ATP
"Lost" ATP
due to transport reducing equivalents made in glycolysis to matrix
Brain & skeletal muscle (due to
glycerol-phosphate shuttle
for NADH)
REGULATION
Most important enzymes:
citrate synthase
Isocitrate dehydrogenase
a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
ADP
(
low energy
) stimulates PDH & TCA Cycle!
ANAPLEROTIC REACTIONS
(
replenish TCA intermediates
)
Pyruvate carboxylase
(PC)
has biotin
requires ATP & Mg2+
activated by acetyl-CoA
catalyzes 1st reaction of Gluconeogenesis
Amino Acid Degradation
a-ketoglutarate <--> Glutamate
Aspartate -> Oxaloacetate
Alanine, Serine -> Pyruvate
GENETIC DISEASES & VITAMIN DEFIENCY
Leigh Syndrome
mutation in 1 of over 30 genes
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
(PDH)
deficiency
pyruvate carboxylate
(PC)
deficiency
Lactic acidemia:
neurological damages
Respiratory failure
Beriberi disease & Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome
Thiamine (Vitamin
B1
deficiency)
cofactor of PDH & a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
