to FAD-> FAD(2H)
Fumarate formed
H2O added -> malate
2 e- to NAD+ -> NADH
Oxaloacetate restored
GTP made from
activated succinyl CoA
(common series of oxidations
to C=C, add H2O -> -OH,
oxidize -OH to C=O)
III. Coenzymes are critical: NAD+
III. Coenzymes are critical for TCA cycle
• Many dehydrogenases use NAD+ coenzyme
• NAD+ accepts 2 e- (hydride ion H-): -OH -> C=O
• NAD+, and NADH are released from enzyme;
• Can bind and inhibit different dehydrogenases
• NAD+/NADH regulatory role (e-transport rate)
Fig. 5
• FAD can accept e- singly (as C=C formation)
• FAD remains tightly bound to enzymes

Fe-S group and to
ETC

FAD(2H) helps pull
TCA cycle forward

V. Regulation of TCA cycle
Many points of regulation of TCA cycle:
• PO4 state of ATP (ATP:ADP)
• Reduction state of NAD+ (ratio NADH:NAD+)
• NADH must enter ETC
Fig. 12
Very efficient cycle:
• Yield 207 Kcal from
1 Acetyl -> CO2
• (90% theoretical 228)
• Table 20.1

•
Regulation matches function (tissue-specific differences)
Often at rate-limiting step, slowest step
Often first committed step of pathway, or branchpoint
Regulatory enzymes often catalyze physiological irreversible
reactions (differ in catabolic, biosynthetic paths)
• Often feedback regulation by end product
• Compartmentalization also helps control access to enzymes
• Hormonal regulation integrates responses among tissues:
• Phosphorylation state of enyzmes
• Amount of enzyme
• Concentration of activator or inhibitor

Citrate synthase simple regulation
Citrate synthase simple regulation:
• Concentration of oxaloacetate, the substrate
• Citrate is product inhibitor, competitive with S
• Malate -> oxoaloacetate favors malate
•
•
If NADH/NAD+ ratio decreases, more oxaloacetate
If isocitrate dehydrogenase activated, less citrate
Allosteric regulation of isocitrate Dehydrogenase
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH):
• Rate-limiting step
• Allosteric activation by ADP
• Small inc ADP -> large change rate
• Allosteric inhibition by NADH
• Reflect function of ETC
Fig. 13
Other regulation of TCA
Regulation of a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase:
• Product inhibited by NADH, succinyl CoA
• May be inhibited by GTP
• Like ICDH, responds to levels ADP, ETC activity
VI. Precursors of Acetyl CoA
VI. Many fuels feed directly into Acetyl CoA
• Will be completely oxidized to CO2
Regulation of TCA cycle intermediates:
• Ensures NADH made fast enough for ATP homeostasis
• Keeps concentration of intermediates appropriate

Regulation of PDC
PDC regulated mostly by phosphorylation:
• Both enzymes in complex

• PDC phosphatase removes PO4
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase complex (PDC):
• Critical step linking glycolysis to TCA
• Similar to αKGDH (Fig. 20.15)
• Huge complex;
• Many copies each subunit:

TCA cycle intermediates and anaplerotic paths
Anaplerotic reactions
TCA cycle intermediates - biosynthesis precursors
• Liver ‘open cycle’ high efflux of intermediates:
• Specific transporters inner mitochondrial membrane
for pyruvate, citrate, a-KG, malate, ADP, ATP.
Anaplerotic reactions replenish 4-C needed to
regenerate oxaloacetate and keep TCA cycling:
• Pyruvate carboxylase
• Contains biotin
• Forms intermediate with CO2
• Requires ATP, Mg2+ (Fig. 8.12)
• Found in many tissues

Amino acid degradation forms TCA cycle intermediates
Key concepts
Amino acid oxidation forms many TCA cycle
intermediates:
• Oxidation of
even-chain fatty acids and
ketone body not replenish
Fig. 19
• TCA cycle accounts for about 2/3 of ATP generated
from fuel oxidation
• Enyzmes are all located in mitochondrial
• Acetyl CoA is substrate for TCA cycle:
• Generates CO2, NADH, FAD(2H), GTP
• e- from NADH, FAD(2H) to electron-transport chain.
• Enzymes need many cofactors
• Intermediates of TCA cycle are used for
biosynthesis, replaced by anaplerotic (refilling)
reactions
• TCA cycle enzymes are carefully regulated
Nuclear-encoded proteins in mitochondria
Nuclear-encoded proteins enter
mitochondria via translocases:
• Proteins made on free ribosomes,
bound with chaperones
• N-terminal aa presequences
• TOM complex crosses outer
• TIM complex crosses inner
• Final processing

a. It is embedded in the inner mitochondrial
membrane
b. It is inhibited by NADH
