The Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Glucose The fate of glucose molecule in the cell Glucose-6- phosphate Pyruvate Glycogen Ribose, NADPH Pentose phosphate pathway Synthesis of glycogen Degradation of glycogen Glycolysis Gluconeogenesis

(1) Synthesis of NADPH (for reductive reactions in biosynthesis of fatty acids and steroids) (2) Synthesis of Ribose 5-phosphate (for the biosynthesis of ribonucleotides (RNA, DNA) and several cofactors) (3) Pentose phosphate pathway also provides a means for the metabolism of “unusual sugars”, 4, 5 and 7 carbons. The Role of Pentose Phosphate Pathway (phosphogluconate pathway) Pentose phosphate pathway does not function in the production of high energy compounds like ATP.

Occurrence of the pentose phosphate pathway Liver, mammary and adrenal glands, and adipose tissue Red blood cells (NADPH maintains reduced iron) NOT present in skeletal muscles. All enzymes in the cycle occur in the cytosol

Two phases: 1) The oxidative phase that generates NADPH 2) The nonoxidative phase (transketolase/ transaldolase system) that interconvert phosphorylated sugars.

Oxidative phase of pentose phosphate cycle

Nonoxidative phase of pentose phosphate cycle

Conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolactone

Conversion of 6-phosphogluconolactone to 6-phosphogluconate

Conversion of 6-phosphogluconate to ribuloso 5-phosphate

Conversions of ribulose 5-phosphate Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase

The net reaction for the pentose phosphate pathway Glucose + ATP + 2NADP + + H 2 O ribose 5-phosphate + CO 2 + 2NADPH + 2H + + ADP The pentose phosphate pathway ends with these five reactions in some tissue. In others it continue in nonoxidative mode to make fructose 6-phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. These reactions link pentose phosphate pathway with glycolysis.

Transketolase and transaldolase have broad substrate specificities They catalyze the exchange of two- and three-carbon fragments between sugar phosphates For both enzymes, one substrate is an aldose, one substrate is a ketose Interconversions Catalyzed by Transketolase and Transaldolase

Regulation Glucose-6-P dehydrogenase –First step –Rate limiting Allosteric Regulation –Feedback inhibited by NADPH Inducible enzyme –Induced by insulin

GSH also functions to eliminate H 2 O 2 and organic peroxides. Peroxides can cause irreversible damage to hemoglobin and destroy cell membranes. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency NADPH is required for the proper action of the tripeptide glutathione (GSH) (maintains it in the reduced state). GSH in erythrocytes maintains hemoglobin in the reduced Fe(II) state necessary for oxygen binding.

Role of Glucose 6-phosphate Dehydrogenase in the Red Blood Cell In the RBC glucose serves as the primary energy source. RBC’s lack mitochondria and thus lack the enzymes of the citric acid cycle. Therefore, glucose is metabolized exclusively by the glycolytic pathway (90%) and the pentose phosphate pathway (10%). The most important function of the pentose phosphate pathway in the RBC is to maintain the tripeptide glutathione in a reduced state. Oxidized glutathione is reduced by the enzyme glutathione reductase in a reaction which utilizes NADPH:

Detoxification of Superoxide Anion and Hydrogen Peroxide Antioxidant enzymes –Superoxide dismutase –Glutathione peroxidase –Glutathione reductase

G6PDH Deficiency and Hemolytic Anemia Most common genetic enzymopathy –400 hundred variants of G6PDH deficiency –Mediterranean, Asian, African descent 400 million people affected worldwide 50% of Kurdish men 10-14% of African-American men with G6PD deficiency

G6PD Deficiency Distribution of G6PD deficiency coincides prevalence of malaria G6PD deficiency may impart some degree of malaria resistance –Also sickle cell anemia

G6PD Deficiency Exposure to anti-malarial drugs (Primaquine) results in increased cellular production of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (Primaquine sensitivity) Other chemicals known to increase oxidant stress –Sulfonamides (antibiotic) –Asprin and NSAIDs –Quinadine and quinine –Napthlane (mothballs) –Fava beans (vicine & isouramil)

Symptoms Black colored urine –Hemolysis may result in urinary excretion of hemoglobin Low RBC count & low hemoglobin –Result of high rate of hemolysis Elevated bilirubin –Catabolism of heme

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency – the most common enzymopathy affecting hundreds of millions of people. About 10 % of individuals of African or Mediterranean descent have such genetic deficiency. Erythrocytes with a lowered level of reduced glutathione are more susceptible to hemolysis and are easily destroyed especially if they are stressed with drugs (for example, antimalarial drugs). In severe cases, the massive destruction of red blood cells causes death.

Elevated Reticulocytes A RBC containing granules or filaments representing an immature stage in cell development Normally constitutes 1% of circulating RBCs Reticulocytosis –Elevation of reticulocytes –Indicative of active erthropoiesis in red bone marrow

Defective G6PDH Results in enzyme with unstable structure –Patient with 10% of normal activity –Enough to generate NADPH under normal condition Newly made RBCs have normal 6PDH activity –Patients recover quickly (8 days)

The pentose phosphate pathway, present in the cytosol, can account for the complete oxidation of glucose, producing NADPH and CO2 but not ATP. The pathway has an oxidative phase, which is irreversible and generates NADPH; and a nonoxidative phase, which is reversible and provides ribose precursors for nucleotide synthesis. The complete pathway is present only in those tissues having a requirement for NADPH for reductive syntheses, eg, lipogenesis or steroidogenesis, whereas the nonoxidative phase is present in all cells requiring ribose. SUMMARY

In erythrocytes, the pathway has a major function in preventing hemolysis by providing NADPH to maintain glutathione in the reduced state as the substrate for glutathione peroxidase. The uronic acid pathway is the source of glucuronic acid for conjugation of many endogenous and exogenous substances before excretion as glucuronides in urine and bile. Fructose bypasses the main regulatory step in glycolysis, catalyzed by phosphofructokinase, and stimulates fatty acid synthesis and hepatic triacylglycerol secretion. Galactose is synthesized from glucose in the lactating mammary gland and in other tissues where it is required for the synthesis of glycolipids, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins. SUMMARY
