TCA cycle involves the oxidation of acetyl CoA → CO2 and H2O. - TCA cycle -the central metabolic pathway. - The TCA cycle is the final oxidative pathway for carbohydrates, fats, amino acids. - TCA cycle supplies energy & also provides many intermediates required for the synthesis of amino acids, glucose, heme. - TCA cycle is the most important central pathway connecting almost all the individual metabolic pathways. وليد خالد.د Page 2 - The Krebs cycle is the second of 4-different processes which must happen to extract the energy from glucose. - The Krebs cycle consists of Eight steps reactions 9-sequential process. KREB’s Cycle Place - Krebs cycle happens only within the mitochondrial matrix. - Pyruvate is formed in the cytosol of the cell → imported into the mitochondria → converted to acetyl CoA and imported into the mitochondrial matrix. The mitochondrial matrix is the innermost part of the mitochondria. وليد خالد.د Page 3 In carbohydrate metabolism 1 - Glycolysis to produce pyruvate. 2 - Pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl-CoA. 3 - Acety1-CoA enters the citric acid cycle. Function and Regulation 1 - Amphibolic Function TCA cycle has both anabolic and catabolic functions. A - Catabolic role It is the final common pathway for oxidation of carbohydrate, lipids and proteins with energy production. B - Anabolic role Source of the intermediates used in biosynthesis : 1 - Oxaloacetic acid is used in gluconeogenesis. 2 – α -ketoglutarate is used for synthesis of some non essential amino acids. 3- Succinyl CoA is used in heme synthesis. وليد خالد.د Page 5 Regulation of TCA Cycle Three regulatory enzymes 1 - Citrate synthase. 2 - Isocitrate dehydrogenase. 3 - α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. → Citrate synthase is inhibited by ATP, NADH, acyl CoA & succinyl CoA. → Isocitrate dehydrogenase is activated by ADP & inhibited by ATP and NADH. → α -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is inhibited by succinyl CoA & NADH. Availability of ADP is very important for TCA cycle to proceed وليد خالد.د Page 6 د.وليد خالد Page 7
