• Also know as Krebs Cycle.
• Krebs proposed the original name TCA
(Tricarboxylic acid)
Functions of the Citric acid cycle
1. The final common oxidative pathway that
oxidizes acetyl CoA to CO2.
2. The source of reduced co-enzymes that provide
the substrate for the respiratory chain.
3. The link between catabolic and anabolic
pathways (amphibolic role).
4. Provides precursors for synthesis of amino acids
and nucleotides.
5. Components of the cycle have a direct or indirect
controlling effects on key enzymes of other
pathways.
Significance of Citric acid cycle
1. Complete oxidation of acetyl CoA
2. ATP generation
3. Final common oxidative pathway
4. Integration of major metabolic pathways
5. Fat is burned on the wick of carbohydrates
6. Excess carbohydrates are converted as neutral fat
7. No net synthesis of carbohydrates from fat
8. Carbon skeletons of amino acids finally enter the citric acid cycle
9. Amphibolic pathway
10. Anaplerotic role.
STEPS of CITRIC ACID CYCLE
• Location: Mitochondrial matrix
• Krebs cycle basically involves the combination
of a two carbon acetyl CoA with a four carbon
oxaloacetate to produce a six carbon
tricarboxylic acid, citrate.
• In the reactions that follow, the two carbons
are oxidized to CO2 and oxaloacetate is
regenerated and recycled.
• Oxaloacetate is considered to play a catalytic
role in citric acid cycle.
Reactions of the cycle preparatory
step
• Acetyl CoA enters the cycle, and is completely
oxidized.
• All the enzymes of citric acid cycle are located
inside the mitochondria.
Reactions of citric acid cycle
Formation of citrate
Citrate is isomerized to isocitrate
Formation of alpha-ketoglutarate
Conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA
Formation of Succinate
Conversion of succinate to fumarate
Formation of malate
Conversion of malate to oxaloacetate
Steps
• starts with the condensation of acetyl
CoA and oxaloacetate, catalysed by
the enzyme citrate synthase.
formation of
citrate:
• by enzyme aconitase.
2 & 3. citrate is
isomerized to
isocitrate
• Isocitrate dehydrogenase catalyses
the conversion of isocitrate to
oxalosuccinate and then to alpha-
ketoglutarate.
4 & 5.
Formation of
alpha-
ketoglutarate:
• Occurs through oxidative
decarboxylation, catalysed by
alpha-ketoglutarate
dehydrogenase complex.
• This enzyme is dependent on
five cofactors—TPP,
lipoamide, NAD+, FAD and
CoA.
6. Conversion
of alpha-
ketoglutarate
to succinyl
CoA:
• succinyl CoA is converted to
succinate by succinate thiokinase.
• this is substrate level
phosphorylation
7.
Formation
of succinate:
• succinate is oxidized by succinate
dehydrogenase to dumarate
• result in production of FADH2
8.
Conversion
of succinate
to fumarate:
• fumarase catalyses the conversion
of fumarate to malate
9. Formation
of malate:
• malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate
by malate dehydrogenase.
• third and final synthesis of NADH
occurs at this stage.
• Oxaloacetate is regenerated
10.
Conversion of
malate to
oxaloacetate:
ATP Generating steps in TCA Cycle
3 NADH generated
3 * 2.5 = 7.5 ATP
1 FADH2 generated
1 * 1.5 = 1.5 ATP
1 GTP generated
= 1 ATP
Per turn of cycle = 10 ATP are generated
Role of Vitamins in TCA cycle
• Coenzyme for alpha-ketoglutarate
dehydrogenase
Thiamine (TPP)
• Coenzyme for succinate
dehydrogenase
Riboflavin
(FAD)
• electron acceptor for isocitrate
dehydrogenase, alpha ketoglutarate
dehydrogenase, malate
dehydrogenase
Niacin (NAD+)
• Acetyl CoA and Succinyl CoA
Pantothenic
acid
Regulation of Citric Acid cycle
• Inhibited by ATP, NADH, Acetyl
CoA and Succinyl CoA
Citrate synthase
• Activated by ADP, and inhibited by
ATP and NADH
Isocitrate
dehydrogenase
• Inhibited by succinyl CoA and
NADH
Alpha-ketoglutarate
dehydrogenase
Availability of ADP
Integration of Major Metabolic
Pathway
1. carbohydrates: are metabolized through
glycolytic pathway to pyruvate, then converted
to acetyl CoA which enters TCA.
2. Fatty acids: through beta oxidation, are broken
down to acetyl CoA and then enters this cycle.
3. Glucogenic amino acids after transamination
enter at some or other points in this cycle.
• Ketogenic amino acids are converted into acetyl
CoA.
Fat is burned on the wick of
carbohydrates
• The oil in a lamp by itself cannot be lighted;
the flame needs a wick
• Oxidation of fat need the help of oxaloacetate.
• Major source of oxaloacetate is pyruvate
(Carb)
Excess Carb are converted to Neutral
fat
• Excess calories are deposited as fat in adipose tissue.
• The pathway is glucose to pyruvate to acetyl CoA to
fatty acid.
• fat cannot be converted to glucose because pyruvate
dehydrogenase reaction (pyruvate to acetyl CoA) is an
absolutely irreversible step.
• No Net synthesis of Carbohydrate from Fat
Amphibolic nature of TCA cycle
• TCA cycle is both catabolic and analbolic.
• TCA is termed as Metabolic Traffic Circle
Important anabolic reactions
• Oxaloacetate is the precursor of aspartate
• Alpha ketogutarate can be made into
glutamate
• Succinyl CoA is used for synthesis of heme
• Mitochondrial citrate is transported to
cytoplasm, where it is cleaved into acetyl
CoA, which then is the starting point of
fatty acid synthesis.
Efflux of TCA cycle intermediates
Influx of TCA cycle intermediates
Anaplerotic Role of TCA cycle
• Greek word : Fill up
• The synthetic reactions depletes the
intermediates of TCA cycle.
• Cycle will ease to operate unless the
intermediates are replenished.
• The reactions concerned to replenish or to fill
up the intermediated of citric acid cycle are
called anaplerotic reactions or anaplerosis.
Inhibitors of TCA cycle
• Inhibited by Fluoro-acetate
Aconitase
• Inhibited by Arsenite
Alpha
ketoglutarate
dehydrogenase
• Inhibited by Malonate
Succinate
dehydrogenase
Metabolic Defects Related to Krebs
Cycle
• Though rare.
• Some of the defects are found to affect the
operation of TCA cycle
• Pyruvate to acetyl CoA
• Lactic acidosis, Neurological disorders
Pyruvate
dehdrogenase
• Fatty acyl CoA to Alpha, beta unsaturated
fatty acyl CoA
• Organic aciduria, glutaric aciduria,
acidosis, hypoglycemia
Acyl CoA
dehydrogenase
• Pyruvate to oxaloacetate
• Oxaloacetate needed for sparking TCA
cycle is deficient. Lactic acidosis,
hyperammonemia and hyperalaninemia
Pyruvate
carboxylase

Citric acid cycle (TCA cycle) by Dr. Anurag Yadav

  • 1. Citric Acid cycle Dr Anurag Yadav MBBS, MD Assistant Professor Department of Biochemistry Instagram page –biochem365 Email: dranurag.y.m@gmail.com MNR MEDICAL COLLEGE & HOSPITAL
  • 2. • Also know as Krebs Cycle. • Krebs proposed the original name TCA (Tricarboxylic acid)
  • 3. Functions of the Citric acid cycle 1. The final common oxidative pathway that oxidizes acetyl CoA to CO2. 2. The source of reduced co-enzymes that provide the substrate for the respiratory chain. 3. The link between catabolic and anabolic pathways (amphibolic role). 4. Provides precursors for synthesis of amino acids and nucleotides. 5. Components of the cycle have a direct or indirect controlling effects on key enzymes of other pathways.
  • 4. Significance of Citric acid cycle 1. Complete oxidation of acetyl CoA 2. ATP generation 3. Final common oxidative pathway 4. Integration of major metabolic pathways 5. Fat is burned on the wick of carbohydrates 6. Excess carbohydrates are converted as neutral fat 7. No net synthesis of carbohydrates from fat 8. Carbon skeletons of amino acids finally enter the citric acid cycle 9. Amphibolic pathway 10. Anaplerotic role.
  • 5. STEPS of CITRIC ACID CYCLE • Location: Mitochondrial matrix • Krebs cycle basically involves the combination of a two carbon acetyl CoA with a four carbon oxaloacetate to produce a six carbon tricarboxylic acid, citrate.
  • 6. • In the reactions that follow, the two carbons are oxidized to CO2 and oxaloacetate is regenerated and recycled. • Oxaloacetate is considered to play a catalytic role in citric acid cycle.
  • 7.
  • 8. Reactions of the cycle preparatory step • Acetyl CoA enters the cycle, and is completely oxidized. • All the enzymes of citric acid cycle are located inside the mitochondria.
  • 9.
  • 10. Reactions of citric acid cycle Formation of citrate Citrate is isomerized to isocitrate Formation of alpha-ketoglutarate Conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA Formation of Succinate Conversion of succinate to fumarate Formation of malate Conversion of malate to oxaloacetate
  • 11.
  • 12. Steps • starts with the condensation of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate, catalysed by the enzyme citrate synthase. formation of citrate: • by enzyme aconitase. 2 & 3. citrate is isomerized to isocitrate • Isocitrate dehydrogenase catalyses the conversion of isocitrate to oxalosuccinate and then to alpha- ketoglutarate. 4 & 5. Formation of alpha- ketoglutarate:
  • 13. • Occurs through oxidative decarboxylation, catalysed by alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. • This enzyme is dependent on five cofactors—TPP, lipoamide, NAD+, FAD and CoA. 6. Conversion of alpha- ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA:
  • 14. • succinyl CoA is converted to succinate by succinate thiokinase. • this is substrate level phosphorylation 7. Formation of succinate: • succinate is oxidized by succinate dehydrogenase to dumarate • result in production of FADH2 8. Conversion of succinate to fumarate:
  • 15. • fumarase catalyses the conversion of fumarate to malate 9. Formation of malate: • malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by malate dehydrogenase. • third and final synthesis of NADH occurs at this stage. • Oxaloacetate is regenerated 10. Conversion of malate to oxaloacetate:
  • 16. ATP Generating steps in TCA Cycle 3 NADH generated 3 * 2.5 = 7.5 ATP 1 FADH2 generated 1 * 1.5 = 1.5 ATP 1 GTP generated = 1 ATP Per turn of cycle = 10 ATP are generated
  • 17.
  • 18. Role of Vitamins in TCA cycle • Coenzyme for alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase Thiamine (TPP) • Coenzyme for succinate dehydrogenase Riboflavin (FAD) • electron acceptor for isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase Niacin (NAD+) • Acetyl CoA and Succinyl CoA Pantothenic acid
  • 19. Regulation of Citric Acid cycle • Inhibited by ATP, NADH, Acetyl CoA and Succinyl CoA Citrate synthase • Activated by ADP, and inhibited by ATP and NADH Isocitrate dehydrogenase • Inhibited by succinyl CoA and NADH Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase Availability of ADP
  • 20. Integration of Major Metabolic Pathway 1. carbohydrates: are metabolized through glycolytic pathway to pyruvate, then converted to acetyl CoA which enters TCA. 2. Fatty acids: through beta oxidation, are broken down to acetyl CoA and then enters this cycle. 3. Glucogenic amino acids after transamination enter at some or other points in this cycle. • Ketogenic amino acids are converted into acetyl CoA.
  • 21. Fat is burned on the wick of carbohydrates • The oil in a lamp by itself cannot be lighted; the flame needs a wick • Oxidation of fat need the help of oxaloacetate. • Major source of oxaloacetate is pyruvate (Carb)
  • 22. Excess Carb are converted to Neutral fat • Excess calories are deposited as fat in adipose tissue. • The pathway is glucose to pyruvate to acetyl CoA to fatty acid. • fat cannot be converted to glucose because pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction (pyruvate to acetyl CoA) is an absolutely irreversible step. • No Net synthesis of Carbohydrate from Fat
  • 23. Amphibolic nature of TCA cycle • TCA cycle is both catabolic and analbolic. • TCA is termed as Metabolic Traffic Circle
  • 24. Important anabolic reactions • Oxaloacetate is the precursor of aspartate • Alpha ketogutarate can be made into glutamate • Succinyl CoA is used for synthesis of heme • Mitochondrial citrate is transported to cytoplasm, where it is cleaved into acetyl CoA, which then is the starting point of fatty acid synthesis.
  • 25. Efflux of TCA cycle intermediates
  • 26. Influx of TCA cycle intermediates
  • 27. Anaplerotic Role of TCA cycle • Greek word : Fill up • The synthetic reactions depletes the intermediates of TCA cycle. • Cycle will ease to operate unless the intermediates are replenished.
  • 28. • The reactions concerned to replenish or to fill up the intermediated of citric acid cycle are called anaplerotic reactions or anaplerosis.
  • 29.
  • 30.
  • 31. Inhibitors of TCA cycle • Inhibited by Fluoro-acetate Aconitase • Inhibited by Arsenite Alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase • Inhibited by Malonate Succinate dehydrogenase
  • 32. Metabolic Defects Related to Krebs Cycle • Though rare. • Some of the defects are found to affect the operation of TCA cycle
  • 33. • Pyruvate to acetyl CoA • Lactic acidosis, Neurological disorders Pyruvate dehdrogenase • Fatty acyl CoA to Alpha, beta unsaturated fatty acyl CoA • Organic aciduria, glutaric aciduria, acidosis, hypoglycemia Acyl CoA dehydrogenase • Pyruvate to oxaloacetate • Oxaloacetate needed for sparking TCA cycle is deficient. Lactic acidosis, hyperammonemia and hyperalaninemia Pyruvate carboxylase
