The Mechanism of Pentose Phosphate Conversion to Hexose Monophosphate
نویسنده
چکیده
Evidence for the conversion of pentose phosphate to hexose monophosphate via sedoheptulose phosphate has been obtained with extracts of rat liver (1) and spinach leaves (2). It has been demonstrated that sedoheptulose phosphate is formed from pentose phosphate by the action of the enzyme transketolase (3) and that hexose monophosphate is formed from sedoheptulose phosphate by the enzyme transaldolase (4).

Purification and properties of yeast transaldolase.
Sedoheptulose-7-phosphate, originally identified as a product of photosynthesis in algae and higher plants (3), has been shown to arise by the action of transketolase on pentose phosphate (4, 5). This reaction occurs in a wide variety of animal (5, 6), plant (5, 7), and microbial cells (8-lo), and evidence has been obtained that the heptulose ester is an intermediate in the formation of hexose ...
متن کاملRole of Hexose Monophosphate Pathway in Tomato Catabolism.
The operation of the hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP) in plants has been the object of extensive studies in recent years (1, 2, 4). In previous papers (3, 9) it has been demonstrated that in intact tomato fruit, glucose is catabolized mainly by way of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway (EMP) and to a limited extent via the HMP pathway. However, the catabolic fate of the pentose phosphate, der...
متن کاملStimulation of the hexose monophosphate shunt in human neutrophils by ascorbic acid: mechanism of action.
The addition of either ascorbic acid or dehydroascorbic acid to a suspension of polymorphonuclear leukocytes caused a dramatic increase in the resting hexose monophosphate shunt activity. A sequence of reactions involving dehydroascorbate, reduced glutathione, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is described to explain this stimulation. This sequence could provide an alterna...
متن کاملA coupled reaction catalyzed by the enzymes transketolase and transaldolase.
The formation of pentose phosphate from hexose monophosphate involves either the oxidative pathway from glucose 6phosphate through 6-phosphogluconate or the series of nonoxidative transfer reactions catalyzed by transketolase and transaldolase, in which sedoheptulose 7-phosphate is an intermediate (1). In mammalian tissues the nonoxidative pathway appears to play a major role (2-5), accounting ...

The conversion of hexose monophosphate to sedoheptulose 7phosphate, first detected by Bonsignore et al. (1) in dialyzed liver extracts, and by Dische (2) in red cell hemolysates, can be attributed to the presence of transketolase and transaldolase in these extracts (3, 4). With highly purified preparations of transketolase and transaldolase, free of phosphoglucose isomerase and xylulose 5-phosp...
