- 2. (a) ( In contrast to the pyruvate dehydrogen- ase complex, the a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (aKGDH) complex is not up- or downregulated by phosphorylation or dephosphorylation. However, the complex exhibits cooperativity modulated by the presence of ADP, ATP, inorganic phosphate (Pi), and Ca2+, as illustrated by the diagram on the right for the bovine kidney enzyme complex. Note in the diagram how the addition of 10 μM Ca2+ shifts the affinity of the enzyme complex for aKG from 20 mM Pi/-Ca2+ to 20 mM Pi/+Ca2+. Calcium especially en- hances the cooperative influence of ADP and ATP. Using the expanded copy of the diagram at the end of the problem set, estimate the change in S0.5 (re- member that for allosteric enzymes S0.5 corresponds to KM of a nonallosteric enzyme) for the enzyme complex in the presence of 20 mM Pi/-Ca2+ and in the presence of 20 mM Pi/+Ca2+. Compare similarly the change in S0.5 for the enzyme in the presence of 20 mM Pi/-Ca2+ plus 1.6 mM ADP to the enzyme in the…1.

(c) If it were possible to isolate phosphofructokinase monomers in an active form, how would you expect the kinetics in (a) to be affected? How would the rate of the reaction be affected by ATP, AMP, and 2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol-1,6-diphosphate? Briefly explain your answers.Arsenate (HAsO42-) can replace inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, causing Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to be directly converted to 3-phosphoglycerate (NADH is still formed).
