  1. OXIDATIVE DECARBOXYLATION OF PYRUVATE Matrix of the mitochondria contains pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

  2. The fate of glucose molecule in the cell Synthesis of glycogen Glucose Pentose phosphate pathway Glucose-6-phosphate Glycogen Ribose, NADPH Degradation of glycogen Gluconeogenesis Glycolysis Ethanol Lactate Pyruvate Acetyl Co A

  3. OXIDATIVE DECARBOXYLATION OF PYRUVATE Only about 7 % of the total potential energy present in glucose is released in glycolysis. Glycolysis is preliminary phase, preparing glucose for entry into aerobic metabolism. Pyruvate formed in the aerobic conditions undergoes conversion to acetyl CoA by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is a bridge between glycolysis and aerobic metabolism – citric acid cycle. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and enzymes of cytric acid cycle are located in the matrix of mitochondria.

  4. Entry of Pyruvate into the Mitochondrion Pyruvate freely diffuses through the outer membrane of mitochon-dria through the channels formed by transmembrane proteins porins. Pyruvate translocase, protein embedded into the inner membrane, transports pyruvate from the intermembrane space into the matrix in symport with H+ and exchange (antiport) for OH-.

  5. Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA • Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH complex) is a multienzyme complex containing 3 enzymes, 5 coenzymes and other proteins. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is giant, with molecular mass ranging from 4 to 10 million daltons. Electron micrograph of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from E. coli.

  6. Enzymes: E1 = pyruvate dehydrogenase E2 = dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase E3 = dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase Coenzymes: TPP (thiamine pyrophosphate), lipoamide, HS-CoA, FAD+, NAD+. TPP is a prosthetic group of B1; lipoamide is a prosthetic group of B2; and FAD is a prosthetic group of B3. The building block ofTPP is vitamin B1 (thiamin); NAD – vitamin B5(nicotinamide); FAD – vitamin B2 (riboflavin), HS-CoA – vitamin B3 (pantothenic acid), lipoamide – lipoic acid

  7. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is a classic example of multienzyme complex Overall reaction of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex The oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate catalized by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex occurs in five steps.
