Activation of glycogen synthase and inactivation of glycogen phosphorylase : the synthesis of glucose from pyruvate gluconeogenesis is not the exact reversal of glycolysis; that is, pyruvate to glucose does not occur by reversing the steps of glucose to pyruvate there are three irreversible steps in glycolysis ---phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate + ATP ---fructose-6- to fructose-1,6-bis ---glucose to glucose-6- the net result of gluconeogenesis is reversal of these three steps, but by different reactions and using different enzymes Step 1: carboxylation of pyruvate requires biotin pyruvate carboxylase is subject to allosteric control; it is activated by acetyl-coa C 3 CC - Pyruvate + C 2 + ATP biotin pyruvate carboxylase C 2 CC - + ADP + P i C - xaloacetate + 2 + Biotin Biotin is a carrier of carbon dioxide N N S Biotin C - C N N S 1. 2 N- enzyme 2.

The Cori Cycle The Cori cycle under vigorous anaerobic exercise, glycolysis in muscle tissue converts glucose to pyruvate; NAD + is regenerated by reduction of pyruvate to lactate lactate from muscle is transported to the liver where it is reoxidized to pyruvate and converted to glucose thus, the liver shares the stress of vigorous exercise Figure 15.12 The Cori cycle Control of Pyruvate Kinase Pyruvate kinase (PK) is an allosteric enzyme inhibited by ATP and alanine activated by fructose-1,6-bis PK isoenzymes have 3 different subunits M predominates in muscle, L in liver, and A in other tissues native PK is a tetramer the liver isoenzymes are subject to covalent modification Control of exokinase inhibited by high levels of glucose 6- when glycolysis is inhibited through phosphofructokinase, glucose 6- builds up, shutting down hexokinase as the name implies, five-carbon sugars, including ribose, are produced from glucose the oxidizing agent is NADP + ; it is reduced to NADP, which is a reducing agent in biosyntheses begins with two oxidation steps (NADP + ) to give ribulose-5- there follows a series of carbon-shuffling steps during which three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-carbon monosaccharide s are produced C C - NADP + NADP NADP + NADP Glucose-6-6-Phosphogluconate 6 - 磷 酸 葡 萄 糖 糖 酸 C - C 2 + C 2 Ribulose-5- 核 酮 糖 -5- 磷 酸 5
