25. Fates of pyruvate
For centuries, bakeries and breweries have exploited the conversion of glucose to ethanol and CO2 by glycolysis in yeast
Prentice Hall c2002
Chapter 11

26. Metabolism of Pyruvate
1. Aerobic conditions: pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle for further oxidation
2. Anaerobic conditions (microorganisms): pyruvate is converted to ethanol
3. Anaerobic conditions (muscles, red blood cells): pyruvate is converted to lactate

Prentice Hall c2002

29. Reduction of Pyruvate to Lactate (muscles - anaerobic)
Muscles lack pyruvate dehydrogenase and cannot produce ethanol from pyruvate
Muscle lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate to lactate
This reaction regenerates NAD+ for use by glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in glycolysis
Lactate formed in skeletal muscles during exercise is transported to the liver
Liver lactate dehydrogenase can reconvert lactate to pyruvate
Lactic acidosis can result from insufficient oxygen (an increase in lactic acid and decrease in blood pH)

31. Metabolically Irreversible Steps of Glycolysis
Enzymes not reversible: Reaction 1 - hexokinase Reaction 3 - phosphofructokinase Reaction 10 - pyruvate kinase
These steps are metabolically irreversible, and these enzymes are regulated
All other steps of glycolysis are near equilibrium in cells and not regulated
Prentice Hall c2002
Chapter 11

32. Regulation of Glycolysis
1. When ATP is needed, glycolysis is activated
Inhibition of phosphofructokinase-1 is relieved.
Pyruvate kinase is activated.
2. When ATP levels are sufficient, glycolysis activity decreases
Phosphofructokinase-1 is inhibited.
Hexokinase is inhibited.

35. Regulation of Hexokinase
Hexokinase reaction is metabolically irreversible
Glucose 6-phosphate (product) levels increase when glycolysis is inhibited at sites further along in the pathway
Glucose 6-phosphate inhibits hexokinase.
Prentice Hall c2002
Chapter 11

36. Regulation of Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1)
ATP is a substrate and an allosteric inhibitor of PFK-1
High concentrations of ADP and AMP allosterically activate PFK-1 by relieving the ATP inhibition.
Elevated levels of citrate (indicate ample substrates for citric acid cycle) also inhibit Phospofructokinase-1

41. Regulation of Pyruvate Kinase (PK)
Pyruvate Kinase is allosterically activated by Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, and inhibited by ATP
The hormone glucagon stimulates protein kinase A, which phosphorylates Pyruvate Kinase, converting it to a less active form.

42. Other Sugars Can Enter Glycolysis
Glucose is the main metabolic fuel in most organisms

2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3BPG) allosterically regulates hemoglobin oxygenation (red blood cells)
Erythrocytes contain bisphosphoglycerate mutase which forms 2,3BPG from 1,3BPG
In red blood cells about 20% of the glycolytic flux is diverted for the production of the important oxygen regulator 2,3BPG
