  • Amphibolic Nature of Krebs Cycle
    Amphibolic nature of Krebs Cycle How what we are is what we eat • In aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is an amphibolic pathway, one that serves in both catabolic and anabolic processes. • Since the citric acid does both synthesis (anabolic) and breakdown (catabolic) activities, it is called an amphibolic pathway • The citric acid cycle is amphibolic (i.e it is both anabolic and catabolic in its function). • It is said to be an AMPHIBOLIC pathway, because it functions in both degradative or catabolic and biosynthetic or anabolic reactions (amphi = both) A central metabolic pathway or amphibolic pathway is a set of reactions which permit the interconversion of several metabolites, and represents the end of the catabolism and the beginning of anabolism • The KREBS CYCLE or citric acid cycle is a series of reactions that degrades acetyl CoA to yield carbon dioxide, and energy, which is used to produce NADH, H+ and FADH. • The KREBS CYCLE connects the catabolic pathways that begin with the digestion and degradation of foods in stages 1 and 2 with the oxidation of substrates in stage 3 that generates most of the energy for ATP synthesis. • The citric acid cycle is the final common pathway in the oxidation of fuel molecules. In stage 3 of metabolism, citric acid is a final common catabolic intermediate in the form of acetylCoA. • This is why the citric acid cycle is called a central metabolic pathway. Anaplerosis and Cataplerosis Anaplerosis is a series of enzymatic reactions in which metabolic intermediates enter the citric acid cycle from the cytosol. Cataplerosis is the opposite, a process where intermediates leave the citric acid cycle and enter the cytosol.

    Al-Sham Private University Faculty Of Pharmacy The Citric Acid Cycle The Catabolism of Acetyl-CoA Lecturer Prof. Abboud Al-Saleh 1 Prof.Abboud AL-Saleh 10/1/2018 BIOMEDICAL IMPORTANCE • The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle) is a series of reactions in mitochondria that oxidize acetyl residues (as acetyl-CoA) and reduce coenzymes that upon reoxidation are linked to the formation of ATP. • TCA is the final common pathway for the aerobic oxidation of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein because glucose, fatty acids, and most amino acids are metabolized to acetyl-CoA or intermediates of the cycle. 2 Prof.Abboud AL-Saleh 10/1/2018 • TCA also has a central role in gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, and interconversion of amino acids. Many of these processes occur in most tissues, but the liver is the only tissue in which all occur to a significant extent. • The repercussions are therefore profound when, for example, large numbers of hepatic cells are damaged as in acute hepatitis or as in cirrhosis. • Very few, if any, genetic abnormalities of TCA enzymes have been reported; such abnormalities would be incompatible with life or normal development 3 Prof.Abboud AL-Saleh 10/1/2018 Summary • The cycle starts with reaction between the acetyl moiety of acetyl-CoA and the four-carbon dicarboxylic acid oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon tricarboxylic acid, citrate. • In the subsequent reactions, two molecules of CO2 are released and oxaloacetate is regenerated (Figure). • Only a small quantity of oxaloacetate is needed for the oxidation of a large quantity of acetyl-CoA. • oxaloacetate may be considered to play a catalytic role.

Lieu †, Neil Kelekar †, Pratibha Bhalla † and Jiyeon Kim * Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL 60607, USA; [email protected] (E.L.L.); [email protected] (N.K.); [email protected] (P.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: History suggests that tasteful properties of sugar have been domesticated as far back as 8000 BCE. With origins in New Guinea, the cultivation of sugar quickly spread over centuries of conquest and trade. The product, which quickly integrated into common foods and onto kitchen tables, is sucrose, which is made up of glucose and fructose dimers. While sugar is commonly associated with flavor, there is a myriad of biochemical properties that explain how sugars as biological molecules function in physiological contexts. Substantial research and reviews have been done on the role of glucose in disease. This review aims to describe the role of its isomers, fructose and mannose, in the context of inborn errors of metabolism and other metabolic diseases, such as cancer. While structurally similar, fructose and mannose give rise to very differing biochemical properties and understanding these differences will guide the development of more effective therapies for metabolic disease. We will discuss pathophysiology linked to perturbations in fructose and mannose metabolism, diagnostic tools, and treatment options of the diseases. Keywords: fructose and mannose; inborn errors of metabolism; cancer Citation: Lieu, E.L.; Kelekar, N.; Bhalla, P.; Kim, J. Fructose and Mannose in Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Cancer.

Sucrose (table sugar) consists of glucose and fructose 2. Free fructose: fruits (fruit sugar), honey, vegetables 3. Sweetener: High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) Fructose Absorption • Free fructose is absorbed from intestinal lumen through GLUT5 found at the apical membrane of the intestinal absorptive cells (enterocytes) • Fructose then crosses to blood capillaries through GLUT2 at the basolateral membrane • Fructose absorption and entrance into cells is insulin independent • Glucose and Galactose are absorbed via SGLT1 at the apical end and then through GLUT2 at the basolateral membrane. Fructose Metabolic Pathways • Fructose can be metabolized by one of two metabolic pathways: 1. Major Pathway (called Fructose-1-phosphate) in Liver 2. Minor Pathway in other tissues (Extrahepatic cells like kidney and testis) the fructose is phosphorylated by hexokinase and the generated fructose-6-phosphate directly joins the glycolysis Fructose Metabolism in Liver • Fructose-1-phosphate (F-1-P) pathway (Fructolysis) consists of 3 steps: 1. Phosphorylation of fructose by the hepatic enzyme fructokinase to generate fructose-1-phosphate. This step is important to trap fructose inside hepatocytes and to destabilize fructose (an activation step) 2.

The left and right half are the same, having mirror image acetyl groups (-CH2COOH). Radio-label Experiment. The Krebs Cycle was tested by 14C radio- labeling experiments. In 1941, 14C-Acetyl-CoA was used with normal oxaloacetate, labeling only the right side of drawing. But none of the label was released as CO2. Always the left carboxyl group is instead released as CO2, i.e., that from oxaloacetate. This was interpreted as proof that citrate is not in the 14 cycle at all the labels would have been scrambled, and half of the CO2 would have been C. Prochiral Citrate. In a two-minute thought experiment, Alexander Ogston in 1948 (Nature, 162: 963) argued that citrate has the potential to be treated as chiral. In chemistry, prochiral molecules can be converted from achiral to chiral in a single step. The trick is an asymmetric enzyme surface (i.e. aconitase) can act on citrate as through it were chiral. As a consequence the left and right acetyl groups are not treated equivalently. “On the contrary, it is possible that an asymmetric enzyme which attacks a symmetrical compound can distinguish between its identical groups.” Metabolism Lecture 9 — CITRIC ACID CYCLE/FATTY ACID CATABOLISM — Restricted for students enrolled in MCB102, UC Berkeley, Spring 2008 ONLY [STEP 4] α-Keto Glutarate Dehydrogenase.

  • Insights Into the Hexose Liver Metabolism—Glucose Versus Fructose
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2017 Insights into the Hexose Liver Metabolism-Glucose versus Fructose Geidl-Flueck, Bettina ; Gerber, Philipp A Abstract: High-fructose intake in healthy men is associated with characteristics of metabolic syndrome. Extensive knowledge exists about the differences between hepatic fructose and glucose metabolism and fructose-specific mechanisms favoring the development of metabolic disturbances. Nevertheless, the causal relationship between fructose consumption and metabolic alterations is still debated. Multiple effects of fructose on hepatic metabolism are attributed to the fact that the liver represents the major sink of fructose. Fructose, as a lipogenic substrate and potent inducer of lipogenic enzyme expression, enhances fatty acid synthesis. Consequently, increased hepatic diacylglycerols (DAG) are thought to directly interfere with insulin signaling. However, independently of this effect, fructose may also counteract insulin-mediated effects on liver metabolism by a range of mechanisms. It may drive gluconeogenesis not only as a gluconeogenic substrate, but also as a potent inducer of carbohydrate responsive element binding protein (ChREBP), which induces the expression of lipogenic enzymes as well as gluconeogenic enzymes. It remains a challenge to determine the relative contributions of the impact of fructose on hepatic transcriptome, proteome and allosterome changes and consequently on the regulation of plasma glucose metabolism/homeostasis. Mathematical models exist modeling hepatic glucose metabolism. Fu- ture models should not only consider the hepatic adjustments of enzyme abundances and activities in response to changing plasma glucose and insulin/glucagon concentrations, but also to varying fructose concentrations for defining the role of fructose in the hepatic control of plasma glucose homeostasis.
