Pyruvate is decarboxylated by the pyruvate dehydrogenase component of the enzyme complex to a hydroxyethyl derivative of the thiazole ring of enzyme-bound thiamin diphosphate, which in turn reacts with oxidized lipoamide, the prosthetic group of dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, to form acetyl lipoamide (Figure 18–5). Acetyl lipoamide reacts with coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA and reduced lipoamide. The reaction is completed when the reduced lipoamide is reoxidized by a flavoprotein, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, containing FAD. Finally, the reduced flavoprotein is oxidized by NAD+ , which in turn transfers reducing equivalents to the respiratory chain.Pyruvate + NAD+ + CoA Acetyl-CoA + NADH + H+ + CO2

Pyruvate dehydrogenase

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Is Regulated by End-Product Inhibition & Covalent Modification

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is inhibited by its products, acetyl-CoA and NADH.

It is also regulated by phosphorylation by a kinase of three serine residues on the pyruvate dehydrogenase component of the multi enzyme complex, resulting in decreased activity and by dephosphorylation by a phosphatase that causes an increase in activity. The kinase is activated by increases in the [ATP]/[ADP], [acetyl-CoA]/[CoA], and [NADH]/[NAD+ ] ratios. Thus, pyruvate dehydrogenase, and therefore glycolysis, is inhibited both when there is adequate ATP available, and also when fatty acids are being oxidized.

Glycogen: Glycogenesis & glycogenolysis Energy storage as carbohydrate in the liver and muscle

In the liver up to 6 % w/w In the muscle up to 4 % w/w Fasting for 18 hours will depletes glycogen in the liver

Control of GlycogenolysisDuring fasting when blood glucose tend to decline, glucagon through protein G will activates adenylyl cyclase.

Adenylyl cyclase catalyzes formation of cAMP from ATP.

cAMP in turn activates cAMP Dependent Protein Kinase. Then it catalyzes Phosphorylase Kinase into PK-P

Phosphorylase Kinase-P (active = a) Phosphorylase Kinase-P (active = a) will catalyzes Phosphorylasewill catalyzes Phosphorylase(b=inactive) to Phosphorylase-P (a).(b=inactive) to Phosphorylase-P (a).The Phosphorylase-P will split The Phosphorylase-P will split Glycogen. Glucose 1P released Glycogen. Glucose 1P released (require Pi). Glucose 6 phosphatase (require Pi).

Glycogenolysis in muscle increases several 100-fold at the onset of contraction; the same signal (increased cytosolic Ca2+ ion concentration) is responsible for

initiation of both contraction and glycogenolysis. Muscle phosphorylase kinase, which activates glycogen

phosphorylase, is a tetramer of four different subunits, α, β, γ, and δ. The α and β subunits contain serine

residues that are phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The δ subunit is identical to the Ca2+ -

binding protein calmodulin, and binds four Ca2+ . The binding of Ca2+ activates the catalytic site of the subunit

even while the enzyme is in the dephosphorylated b state; the phosphorylated a form is only fully activated in

the presence of high concentrations of Ca2+ .
