i read that PFK-1 is inhibited by acidic ph and stimulated by alkaline ph

  #2

also PFK 1 is rate limitng enzyme..IN glycolysis

PFK-1 inhibited by ATP and citrate. ,,,,, and activated by AMP


INSULIN ---ACTIVATE IT.

GLUCAGON--inhibit it

PFK-1 is the RLE in Glycolysis.

PFK-1 is regulated via 2 ways:

(1) Global (hormonal) regulation

(2) Local (energy level) regulation


(1) GLOBAL CONTROL (via indirect method involving PFK-2 and F 2,6 BisP)

Insulin => via ITK receptors/IRS/SH2 domains will activate phosphatases => DEPHOS of PFK-2 = activation. PFK-2 cataylzes the conversion of F-6P to F-2,6 BisP. F-2,6 BisP will bind? to PFK-1 thereby activating it.

Glucagon => via GS/AC/cAMP will activate PKA => PHOS of PFK-2 = inactivation.

(2) LOCAL CONTROL (via direct method)

Increase AMP levels => activate PFK-1

Increase ATP or citrate levels => inhibition of PFK-1



I got confused studying the TCA cycle because I read that ADP activates Isocitrate Dehydrogenase, why does Kaplan stress ADP there and not AMP?
