|
B. |
HCO3 + NH4+ à Structure F : |
|
C. |
oxaloacetate + Structure C à aspartate + alpha-ketoglutarate Structure C: |
|
D. |
Guanine à GMP |
|
E. |
Glucose-6-phosphate + 2 NADP+ à ribose-5-phosphate + 2 NADPH |
|
F. |
ATP + GDP à ADP + GTP |
Answer F
ATP + GDP à ADP + GTP
In gluconeogenesis, two high-energy phosphate bonds are consumed (ATP→ADP+Pi; GTP→GDP+Pi) in reversing the reaction.
Gluconeogenesis begins when pyruvate, generated in the cytosol, is transported into the mitochondrion through the action of a specific carrier and converted to oxaloacetate.
Acetyl CoA, Mg2+
Pyruvate- + HCO3- + ATP4- ----------------------------------------> Oxaloacetate 2- + ADP3- + Pi2- + H+
pyruvate carboxylase
The second reaction is the conversion of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate. In this reaction, inosine triphosphate (ITP) can substitute for guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and the CO2 lost is the one gained in the carboxylase reaction.
PEPCK
Oxaloacetate 2- + GTP4- or (ITP4- ) ---------------------------------> Phosphoenol pyruvate3- + CO2 + GDP3- or (IDP3- )
PEPCK - Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase
