Overview of
Gluconeogenesis
First step (Conversion of Pyruvate to Phosphoenolpyruvate
1.This reaction cannot occur by reversal of the pyruvate kinase
reaction of glycolysis.
2. Pyruvate is first transported from the cytosol into
mitochondria or is generated from alanine within
mitochondria by transamination, in which the -amino group is
removed from alanine (leaving pyruvate) and added to an -
keto carboxylic acid (transamination reactions).
3. Conversion of Pyruvate to Phosphoenolpyruvate occurs is a
two step process.
First step is to convert pyruvate to Oxaloacetate acid
1. Pyruvate carboxylase, a mitochondrial enzyme converts the pyruvate to oxaloacetate.
2. It requires the coenzyme biotin.
3. The reaction involves biotin as a carrier of activated HCO3 .
Second step involves (Conversion of OAA to Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
1. Because the mitochondrial membrane has no transporter for oxaloacetate, before export to the
cytosol the oxaloacetate formed from pyruvate must be reduced to malate by mitochondrial malate
dehydrogenase, at the expense of NADH.
2. Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase functions in both gluconeogenesis and the citric
acid cycle
3. Malate leaves the mitochondrion through a specific transporter in the inner
mitochondrial membrane and in the cytosol it is reoxidized to oxaloacetate, with the
production of cytosolic NADH
1. The oxaloacetate is then converted to PEP by phosphoenolpyruvate
carboxykinase .
2. This Mg2-dependent reaction requires GTP as the phosphoryl group
donor
Conversion of OAA to PEP continued……….
Alternate paths from Pyruvate to PEP
Conversion of Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate to Fructose 6-Phosphate Is the Second Bypass
1. The second glycolytic reaction that cannot participate in gluconeogenesis is the phosphorylation of
fructose 6-
phosphate by PFK-1.
2. Because this reaction is highly exergonic and therefore irreversible in intact cells, the generation of
fructose 6-phosphate from fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is catalyzed by a different enzyme, Mg2-
dependent fructose 1,6-
bisphosphatase (FBPase-1).
Conversion of Glucose 6-Phosphate to Glucose Is the Third Bypass
1. The third bypass is the final reaction of gluconeogenesis, the dephosphorylation of
glucose 6-phosphate to
yield glucose.
2. The reaction catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphatase does not require synthesis of
ATP;
3. It is a simple hydrolysis of a phosphate ester:

Gluconeogenesis Is Energetically Expensive, but Essential
1. The sum of the biosynthetic reactions leading from pyruvate to free
blood glucose.
Regulation of Gluconeogenesis
1.Gluconeogenesis is an
expansive process.
2. It is regulated by allosteric
and substrate level control
mechanism. The site of
regulation are described in
diagram.

Introduction
1.It is the process of formation of glycogen.
2. Glycogen is a highly branched , very large polymer of glucose
molecules linked along its main line by alpha-1,4 glycosidic
linkages, branches arise by alpha-1,6 glycosidic bonds at about
every 10-12 residues.
3.Glycogen stores in the cytosol as granules.
4.Glycogen does not change the osmolarity of the cells so sugar in
animal cells is stored in the form of Glycogen only.
5.Muscles and liver are the major sites for storage of glycogen.
5. For glycogenesis , hexose sugar are transformed or polymerised which involves
sugar nucleotides (like UDP-glucose).
6. Sugar nucleotide are compounds in which anomeric carbon of a sugar is activated
by attachment to a nucleotide through a phosphate ester linkage.
7. Sugar nucleotides are the substrate for polymerisation of monosaccharide into
disaccharides , glycogen, starch, cellulose, polysaccharides.
Here sugar is
represented by D-
glycosyl group and
Nucleotide part by
Uridine di phosphate.
?The starting point for synthesis of glycogen is Glucose 6
Phosphate.
?The glucose 6-phosphate is converted to glucose 1-phosphate
by phosphoglucomutase enzyme.
Conversion of Glucose 1-phosphate to
UDP-Glucose
? Glucose 1-phosphate is converted to UDP-glucose by the action of
UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase.
1. A condensation reaction occurs between a nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) and a sugar
phosphate.
2. The negatively charged oxygen on the sugar phosphate serves as a nucleophile, attacking
?UDP-glucose is the immediate donor of glucose
residues in the reaction catalyzed by glycogen
synthase.
?Glycogen synthase is an enzyme which promotes
the transfer of the glucose residue from UDP-
glucose to a nonreducing end of a branched
glycogen molecule.
1. Glycogen chain is elongated by glycogen synthase.
2. The enzyme transfers the glucose residue of UDP-glucose to the nonreducing end of a glycogen branch
to make a new (1n4) linkage.
Branching of Glycogen chain is done by another enzyme called Glycosyl (4-6) transferase.
1. Glycogen synthase cannot make the (1-6) bonds found at the branch points of
glycogen.
2. These are formed by the glycogen-branching enzyme called glycosyl- (4-6)-transferase.
3. The glycogen-branching enzyme catalyzes transfer of a terminal fragment of 6 or 7
glucose residues from the nonreducing end of a glycogen branch having at least 11
residues to the C-6 hydroxyl group of a glucose residue of the same or another
glycogen chain, thus creating a new branch
Branch synthesis in glycogen. The glycogen-branching enzyme (glycosyl-(4-6)-transferase) forms a new
branch point during glycogen synthesis.
Glycogenesis can not start de novo but requires primer
1. The very first step in the synthesis of a new glycogen molecule is the transfer of a
glucose residue from UDP-Glucose to the hydroxyl group of Tyr 194 residue of
Glycogenin catalysed by the proteins intrinsic glucosyltransferase activity.
2. Glycogenin is a tyrosine based protein made up of two identical subunit.
3. Each subunit of glycogenin catalyzes the addition of few glucose units to its partner in
the glycogenin dimer.
4. Glycogenin attaches covalently to the single reducing end of the glycogen molecule.
