Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of cells.

Glucose enters the Glycolysis pathway byconversion to glucose-6-phosphate.

Initially there is energy input corresponding to

cleavage of two ~P bonds of ATP.

Hexokinase

1. Hexokinase catalyzes:

Glucose + ATP  glucose-6-P + ADP 

The reaction involves nucleophilic attack of the C6hydroxyl O of glucose on P of the terminal phosphate

of ATP.

ATP binds to the enzyme as a complex with Mg++

.

Mg++

 interacts with negatively charged phosphateoxygen atoms, providing charge compensation &

promoting a favorable conformation of ATP at the

active site of the Hexokinase enzyme.

The reaction catalyzed by Hexokinase is highly 

spontaneous.

A phosphoanhydride bond of ATP (~P) is cleaved.

The phosphate ester formed in glucose-6-phosphate

has a lower DG of hydrolysis.

Induced fit: 

Binding of glucose to Hexokinase promotes a large

conformational change by stabilizing an alternativeconformation in which:

the C6 hydroxyl of the bound glucose is close to the

terminal phosphate of ATP, promoting catalysis. water is excluded from the active site. This prevents

the enzyme from catalyzing ATP hydrolysis, rather

than transfer of phosphate to glucose.

It is a common motif for an enzyme active site to be

located at an interface between protein domains that are

connected by a flexible hinge region.

The structural flexibility allows access to the active site,while permitting precise positioning of active site

residues, and in some cases exclusion of water, as

substrate binding promotes a particular conformation.

2. Phosphoglucose Isomerase catalyzes:

glucose-6-P (aldose) fructose-6-P (ketose)

The mechanism involves acid/base catalysis, with ring

opening, isomerization via an enediolate intermediate,

and then ring closure. A similar reaction catalyzed by

Triosephosphate Isomerase will be presented in detail.

3. Phosphofructokinase catalyzes:

fructose-6-P + ATP fructose-1,6-bisP + ADP 

This highly spontaneous reaction has a mechanism similar

to that of Hexokinase.

The Phosphofructokinase reaction is the rate-limiting step 

of Glycolysis.

The enzyme is highly regulated, as will be discussed later.

4. Aldolase catalyzes: fructose-1,6-bisphosphate 

dihydroxyacetone-P + glyceraldehyde-3-P

The reaction is an aldol cleavage, the reverse of an aldol

condensation.

5. Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TIM) catalyzes:

dihydroxyacetone-P glyceraldehyde-3-P 

Glycolysis continues from glyceraldehyde-3-P. TIM's Keq 

favors dihydroxyacetone-P. Removal of glyceraldehyde-3-P

by a subsequent spontaneous reaction allows throughput.

2-Phosphoglycolate is a transition state analog that

binds tightly at the active site of Triose Phosphate

Isomerase (TIM).

This inhibitor of catalysis by TIM is similar in structure to

the proposed enediolate intermediate.

TIM is judged a "perfect enzyme." Reaction rate is limited

only by the rate that substrate collides with the enzyme.

TIM

Triosephosphate Isomerase

structure is an ab barrel, or

TIM barrel.

In an ab barrel there are

8 parallel b-strands surrounded

by 8 a-helices.

Short loops connect alternatingb-strands & a-helices.

TIM

TIM barrels serve as scaffolds

for active site residues in a

diverse array of enzymes.

Residues of the active site are

always at the same end of the

barrel, on C-terminal ends of b-strands & loops connecting

these to a-helices.

There is debate whether the many different enzymes with

TIM barrel structures are evolutionarily related.

In spite of the structural similarities there is tremendous

diversity in catalytic functions of these enzymes and little

sequence homology.

of the substrate.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphateDehydrogenase

Exergonic oxidation of the aldehyde in glyceraldehyde-

3-phosphate, to a carboxylic acid, drives formation of anacyl phosphate, a "high energy" bond (~P).

This is the only step in Glycolysis in which NAD+ is

reduced to NADH.

This phosphate transfer from PEP to ADP is spontaneous.

PEP has a larger DG of phosphate hydrolysis than ATP.

Removal of Pi from PEP yields an unstable enol, whichspontaneously converts to the keto form of pyruvate.

pyruvate produced in Glycolysis is oxidized to CO2 

via Krebs Cycle

NADH produced in Glycolysis & Krebs Cycle is

reoxidized via the respiratory chain, with production

of much additional ATP.

They must reoxidize NADH produced in Glycolysis

through some other reaction, because NAD+ is needed for

the Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase reaction.

Usually NADH is reoxidized as pyruvate is converted to

a more reduced compound, that may be excreted.

The complete pathway, including Glycolysis and the

reoxidation of NADH, is called fermentation.

Skeletal muscles ferment glucose to lactate during

Lactate released to the blood may be taken up by other

for entry into Krebs Cycle.

Three Glycolysis enzymes catalyze spontaneous 

reactions: Hexokinase, Phosphofructokinase &

Pyruvate Kinase.Control of these enzymes determines the rate of the

Glycolysis pathway.

Local control involves dependence of enzyme-

catalyzed reactions on concentrations of pathwaysubstrates or intermediates within a cell.

Global control involves hormone-activated production

of second messengers that regulate cellular reactions

for the benefit of the organism as a whole.

Local control of Hexokinase and Phosphofructokinase

will be discussed here. Regulation by hormone-activated

cAMP signal cascade will be discussed later.

Hexokinase is inhibited by its product glucose-6-

phosphate.

Glucose-6-phosphate inhibits by competition at the

active site, as well as by allosteric interactions at a

separate site on the enzyme.

Cells trap glucose by phosphorylating it, preventing exit

on glucose carriers.Product inhibition of Hexokinase ensures that cells will

not continue to accumulate glucose from the blood, if 

[glucose-6-phosphate] within the cell is ample.

Glucokinase, a variant of Hexokinase found in liver, has

a high KM for glucose. It is active only at high [glucose].

Glucokinase is not subject to product inhibition by

glucose-6-phosphate.

Liver will take up & phosphorylate glucose even when

liver [glucose-6-phosphate] is high.

Liver Glucokinase is subject to inhibition by glucokinase

regulatory protein (GKRP).

The ratio of Glucokinase to GKRP changes in different

metabolic states, providing a mechanism for modulating

glucose phosphorylation.

Glucokinase, with its high KM for glucose, allows the liverto store glucose as glycogen, in the fed state when blood

[glucose] is high.

Glucose-6-phosphatase catalyzes hydrolytic release of Pi 

from glucose-6-P. Thus glucose is released from the liver

to the blood as needed to maintain blood [glucose].

The enzymes Glucokinase & Glucose-6-phosphatase, both

found in liver but not in most other body cells, allow the

liver to control blood [glucose].

Phosphofructokinase is usually the rate-limiting step of 

the Glycolysis pathway.

Phosphofructokinase is allosterically inhibited by ATP.

At low concentration, the substrate ATP binds only at

the active site.

At high concentration, ATP binds also at a low-affinity

regulatory site, promoting the tense conformation.

The tense conformation of PFK, at high [ATP], has lower

affinity for the other substrate, fructose-6-P. Sigmoidal

dependence of reaction rate on [fructose-6-P] is seen.

AMP, present at significant levels only when there is

extensive ATP hydrolysis, antagonizes effects of high ATP.

Inhibition of the Glycolysis enzyme Phosphofructokinase

when [ATP] is high prevents breakdown of glucose in apathway whose main role is to make ATP.

It is more useful to the cell to store glucose as glycogen

when ATP is plentiful.
