Pentose phosphate pathway

\( \newcommand_2\). The remaining steps of the pathway are known as the non-oxidative phase and involve interconversion of sugar phosphates. For example, ribulose-5-phosphate is converted to ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) by the enzyme ribulose-5-phosphate isomerase. Alternatively, ribulose-5-phosphate can be converted to xylulose-5-phosphate (Xu5P). R5P and Xu5P (10 carbons total) can be combined and rearranged by transketolase to produce intermediates with 3 and 7 carbons (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and sedoheptulose-7-phosphate, respectively). These last two molecules can, in turn be rearranged by transaldolase into 6 and 4 carbon sugars (fructose-6-phosphate and erythrose-4-phosphate, respectively). Further, the erythrose-4-phosphate can swap parts with Xu5P to create glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. It is important to recognize that the PPP pathway is not a “top-down" pathway, with all the intermediates derived from a starting G6P. All of the reactions are reversible, so that, for example, fructose-6-phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate from glycolysis can reverse the last reaction of the previous paragraph to provide a means of synthesizing ribose-5-phosphate non-oxidatively. The pathway also provides a mechanism to cells for metabolizing sugars, such as Xu5P and ribulose-5-phosphate. In the bottom line of the pathway, the direction the pathway goes and the intermediates it produces are determined by the needs of, and intermediates available to, the...

• Describe the role of NADPH produced by the pentose phosphate pathway in metabolism and regulation of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. • Determine the utility of the oxidative and nonoxidative portions of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)and how these pathways interface with glycolysis. • Describe the amino acid composition of glutathione (GSH) and understand the role of GSH in attenuating oxidative damage. • Describe how the pentose phosphate pathway and the process of DNA replication interface with the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. • Evaluate the central role of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) in nucleotide metabolism. • Describe the purine salvage pathway, specifically the reaction catalyzed by hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT). • Identify the key regulatory steps in both purine and pyrimidine synthesis, and evaluate flux through each pathway depending on levels of allosteric activators and inhibitors. • Describe conditions that lead to elevated orotic acid, and interpret urine orotic acid concentration for the diagnosis of defects of the urea cycle or pyrimidine biosynthesis. As we have seen previously, glucose can be diverted to several different pathways depending on metabolic needs. One of these pathways is the pentose phosphate pathway, which plays an integral role in producing both NADPH and the five-carbon sugar ribose. NADPH provides the cell with an energy source for reductive biosynthesis and detoxificatio...

Owing to the absence of the pentose phosphate pathway, the degradation pathway for the ribose moieties of nucleosides is unknown in Archaea. Here, in the archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, we identified a metabolic network that links the pentose moieties of nucleosides or nucleotides to central carbon metabolism. The network consists of three nucleoside phosphorylases, an ADP-dependent ribose-1-phosphate kinase and two enzymes of a previously identified NMP degradation pathway, ribose-1,5-bisphosphate isomerase and type III ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Ribose 1,5-bisphosphate and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate are intermediates of this pathway, which is thus designated the pentose bisphosphate pathway.

The pentose phosphate pathway is a process of glucose turnover that produces NADPH as reducing equivalents and pentoses as essential parts of nucleotides. There are two different phases in the pathway. One is irreversible oxidative phase in which glucose-6P is converted to ribulose-5P by oxidative decarboxylation, and NADPH is generated [MD:

Pentose Phosphate Pathway The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is a first-line defense response to oxidative stress, and is critical to cell survival (Kuehne et al., 2015).

Pradipta Banerjee, in Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome (Second Edition), 2018 Impact of Dysregulated Pentose Phosphate Pathway Flux on Cancer Cell Growth and Survival Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) plays a critical role in regulating cancer cell growth by supplying cells with not only ribose-5-phosphate but also NADPH for detoxification of intracellular ROS, reductive biosynthesis, and ribose biogenesis. Thus alteration of the PPP contributes directly to cell proliferation, survival, and senescence. PPP is regulated oncogenically and/or metabolically by numerous factors, including tumor suppressors, oncoproteins, and intracellular metabolites. Therefore a better understanding of how the PPP is reprogrammed and the mechanism underlying the balance between glycolysis and PPP flux in cancer will be valuable in developing therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway. 24 In recent years it has been noticed that the influence of lifestyle, in particular the high-fat Western diet, is associated with the multisite developmen...
