Pyruvate Oxidation and Krebs Cycle Jennifer Agnes Hilary Lucy
Quick Review -In glycolysis, the first stage of cellular respiration, glucose, a 6-C chain molecule was broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules in a series of 10 steps.Net payoff:2 ATP (2 used, 4 produced)2 NADH-The pyruvate then moves from the cytoplasm into the mitochondrial matrix.
REMEMBER: After Glycolysis which takes place in the cytosol, all the steps take place in the mitochondria
Depending on the presence of oxygen, the pyruvate will either enter a fermentation process (lactic acid or alcohol) or proceed towards the Krebs Cycle.
Pyruvate Oxidation • overall purpose: convert Pyruvate into Acetyl-CoA 2 pyruvate + 2 NAD + 2 CoA -> 2 acetyl-CoA + 2 NADH + 2H2+ 2 CO2 • acetyl CoA - central molecule in energy metabolism • proteins, lipids, can also be broken down into acetyl CoA • can produce fat or ATP, depending on ATP levels in the cell
Pyruvate Oxidation • net production: • 2 NADH - electron transport chain • 2 acetyl-CoA - enter Krebs Cycle • 2H+ - dissolves in matrix • 2 CO2 - diffuses out of cell 2 pyruvate + 2 NAD + 2 CoA -> 2 acetyl-CoA + 2 NADH + 2H2+ 2 CO2
Pyruvate Oxidation - transition step between glycolysis and Kreb's Cycle
1. carboxyl functional group removed as CO2 - decarboxylation catalyzed by enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase 2. redox reaction that converts NAD+ -> NADH and H+ pyruvate is oxidized, NAD+ is reduced 3. CoA is attached to acetate compound to form Acetyl CoA -> unstable carbon-sulfur bond in preparation for the Krebs Cycle
Krebs Cycle • metabolic pathway • amphibolic (catabolism and anabolism) • cyclic -> oxacetate reused • produces precursors to ATP net production: 3 NADH x 2 = 6 NADH 1 FADH2 x 2 = 2 FADH2 - later converted to ATP in the electron transport chain
Krebs Cycle Equation Oxaloacetate + Acetyl-CoA+ ADP + Pi +3NAD+ + FAD--> CoA+ATP+3NADH +3H++FADH2+ 2CO2+ Oxaloacetate
Also known as the citric or tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) because citric acid has THREE CARBOXYL groups
Hans Krebs (1900-1981) • German-born British biochemist who received a Nobel Prize in Physiology for the discovery of the Krebs Cycle. • -Krebs discovered that citrate formed when pyruvate and oxaloacetate • combined, thus explaining the reason why the reactions form a cycle. • Krebs also discovered the urea cycle with another biochemist, Kurt Henseleit. In this cycle, ammonia is converted to urea in the tissues of mammals; being far less toxic than ammonia, urea is excreted in the urine of most mammals.

Oxidative decarboxylation occurs again Enzyme:a-ketoglutarate DH (multi-enzyme complex)
Step 5: ATP formed via substrate level phosphorylation, Succinyl- CoA becomes succinate Enzyme: Succinate thiokinase (Succinyl-CoA Synthetase) + Nucleoside diphosphate kinase Step 6: Succinate oxidized to fumarate (FADH2 produced) Enzyme: Succinate DH Step 7: Fumarate hydrated to produce malate. Enzyme: Fumarase Step 8: Malate is oxidized into oxaloacetate. Enzyme: Malate DH
C atoms in glucose - what happens tothem? Glucose - has a 6-carbon backbone by the end of Krebs Cycle, all of them have been oxidized into CO2 - released from cell as waste
Summary of Krebs Cycle How many energy-producing molecules do we have per 1 glucose molecule? Intermediate step: Pyruvate oxidation 1 NADH x2= 2 NADH Krebs Cycle: 3 NADHx2= 6 NADH 1 ATPx2= 2 ATP 1 FADH2x2= 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP, 2 NADH from glycolysis Total: 4 ATP, 10 NADH, 2 FADH2 --> forms 38 ATP in the electron transport chain
