Lecture 5: Cell Metabolism Biology 219 Dr. Adam Ross Cellular Respiration • Set of reactions that take place during the conversion of nutrients into ATP • Intricate regulatory relationship between several “families” of reactions • Goal for this class is to understand relationships and regulatory mechanisms, not to memorize intermediate substrates, names of enzymes, or steps of reactions. Two general classes of reaction • Aerobic • Requires oxygen • Endurance exercise • Anaerobic • Does not require oxygen • Strength exercise Courtesy of Richard Wheeler via visual.ly Glycolysis to ETC Electrons transferred by NADH Blood vessel Glucose Cytoplasm Electrons transferred by NADH Electrons transferred by NADH and FADH2 Plasma membrane Carrier protein Citric Acid Cycle Transition Reaction Glycolysis glucose pyruvate Electron Transport Chain Oxygen Mitochondrion Extracellular fluid +2 ATP +2 ATP +32 ATP 36 ATP Glycolysis • Occurs in the cytosol • Breakdown of glucose (6-C) into two pyruvate (3-C) molecules • Multi stage pathway: • Energy investment stage- adding ATP to isomerize glucose • Cleavage stage- split 6-C into two 3-C molecules • Energy harness stage- utilize free energy with 2NADH and 4ATP (2 net ATP) • NADH is a carrier of high energy electrons which are used by the electron transport chain • Pyruvate is the branch point between aerobic and anerobic metabolism • Where the molecule is sent is determined by the oxygen status of the cells in need of energy Glycolysis • Start with Glucose • Add 2 ATP • End with • 2 Pyruvate • 4 ATP (2 net) • 2 NADH Glycolysis (in cytoplasm) Glycolysis Cytoplasm During the first steps, two molecules of ATP are consumed in preparing glucose for splitting. Glucose During the remaining steps, four molecules of ATP are produced. 2 ATP Energyinvestment phase 2 ADP 4 ADP 4 ATP The two molecules of pyruvate then diffuse from the cytoplasm into the inner compartment of the mitochondrion, where they pass through a few preparatory steps (the transition reaction) before entering the citric acid cycle. 2 NAD+ Energyyielding phase 2 NADH 2 Pyruvate Two molecules of nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH), a carrier of high-energy electrons, also are produced. Figure 3.23 Pyruvate • If sent to the aerobic pathway (cells have enough oxygen) • Goes to transition step and TCA cycle in mitochondria • TCA cycle can be called Kreb’s cycle on Citric Acid cycle (in other classes) • In Bio 219 it is called the Tri-Carboxlic Acid cycle (TCA cycle) • If sent to the anaerobic pathway (cells are oxygen poor) • Pyruvate is converted to lactate in the cytosol • Via lactic acid pathway Pyruvate Transition reaction • Before entering TCA cycle, pyruvate (3-C) must be converted • pyruvate (3C) + CoA + NAD+ → acetyl CoA (2C) + CO2 + NADH (x 2 per glucose molecule) yield: 1 NADH (x 2) – 1 for each Pyruvate product: 1 CO2 (x 2) • acetyl CoA is a key intermediate which transfers 2C (acyl) units to the Citric Acid Cycle Transition reaction • Start with: • 2 pyruvate (3 carbon molecules) • 2 Coenzyme A • End with: • 2 CO2 • 2 NADH • 2 Acetyl CoA (2 carbon molecule) Transition Reaction Transition Reaction (in mitochondrion) Pyruvate (from glycolysis) One carbon (in the form of CO2) is removed from pyruvate. A molecule of NADH is formed when NAD+ gains two electrons and one proton. CO2 NAD+ Coenzyme A NADH (electron passes to electron transport chain) CoA Acetyl CoA Citric Acid Cycle The two-carbon molecule, called an acetyl group, binds to coenzyme A (CoA), forming acetyl CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle. Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle • Multi-step series of Redox reactions • Occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria • 2-C from acetyl CoA is broken down to C02 • 1st step: Ac-CoA + oxaloacetate (4-C) > citrate (6-C) + CoA • Subsequent steps: citrate is converted back to OAA and e- are captured • 2-C atoms in citrate are fully oxidized to form CO2 • Electrons are transferred to NADH and FADH2 • Yield: 3 NADH + 1 FADH2 + 1 ATP (x2) • Product: 2 CO2 (x2) Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle Acetyl CoA, the two-carbon compound formed during the transition reaction, enters the citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle also yields several molecules of FADH2 and NADH, carriers of high-energy electrons that enter the electron transport chain. Acetyl CoA CoA CoA Oxaloacetate Citrate NADH CO2 leaves cycle NAD+ TCA Cycle NAD+ Malate NADH FADH2 ATP FAD ADP + Pi -Ketoglutarate Succinate NAD+ NADH CO2 leaves cycle The citric acid cycle yields One ATP from each acetyl CoA that enters the cycle, for a net gain of two ATP. Lactic acid pathway • Pyruvate is sent here when cells are using anaerobic resporation • 2 pyruvic acid + 2 NADH > 2 lactate and 2 NAD+ • Generates 2 Lactate and NAD+ is regenerated for use in glycolysis Electron transport chain • Electron carrier proteins are in the inner membrane of the mitochondria • 3 major complexes (I, III, IV) • Cytochromes are iron containing electron carrier proteins in ETC • NADH and FADH2 donate electrons to ETC • Electrons move downhill (to lower energy stations) in ETC • Oxygen is terminal electron acceptor Electron Transport Chain (inner membrane of mitochondrion) Electron Transport Chain The molecules of NADH and FADH2 produced by earlier phases of cellular respiration pass their electrons to a series of protein molecules embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. High NAD+ NADH As the electrons are transferred from one protein to the next, energy is released and used to make ATP. Potential energy 2e– FADH2 Membrane proteins 2e– FAD 2e– 2e– Eventually, the electrons are passed to oxygen, which combines with two hydrogens to form water. 2e– Low Energy released is used for synthesis of ATP 1 2 H+ + 2 O 2 H2O ATP Synthesis • Chemiosmotic coupling mechanism • ETC complexes act as H+ ion pumps • Create H+ gradient, intermembrane space has high [H+] • H+ moves down its concentration gradient through ATP-synthase • This provides energy to phosphorylate ADP, creating ATP • 3 H+ ions = 1 ATP Complex Carbohydrates must first be broken down into glucose before entering glycolysis Fats and proteins enter the process at different steps Summary Glycogen metabolism • Glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) • Glucose + ATP → G-6-P → glycogen • Glycogen is stored mainly in liver and skeletal muscle cells • Insulin stimulates glucose uptake into cells and glycogen synthesis • Secreted when blood [glucose] is high • Glycogen breakdown (glycogenolysis) • • • • Glycogen + Pi → G-6-P → glucose In liver glycogen → glucose → released to blood Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis in liver when blood [glucose] is low In skeletal muscle: glycogen → G-6-P → metabolized by active muscle Protein metabolism • Protein catabolism (proteolysis) • Hydrolysis of polypeptides into A.A. • Deamination of amino acids • Amino acids → keto acids + NH3 • Keto acids can enter TCA cycle • NH3 converted to urea, and excreted via kidneys in urine • Trans-amination: NH2 group can be transferred to another A.A.
