  • TCA主线外的分支
    • The TCA Cycle Provides Intermediates for Biosynthetic Pathways
      • four-, five-, and six-carbon species produced in the TCA cycle also fuel a variety of biosynthetic processes
      • α-Ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, and oxaloacetate are all precursors of important cellular species
      • In order to participate in eukaryotic biosynthetic processes, they must first be transported out of the mitochondria
        • ATP–citrate lyase
          • Citrate broken down to generate oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, a precursor of fatty acids
          • Oxaloacetate is recycled to malate or pyruvate, which re-enters the mitochondria
          • This cycle permits citrate to provide acetyl-CoA for biosynthetic processes
    • The Anaplerotic补给
      • cell also feeds many intermediates back into the TCA cycle from other reactions
      • The catabolism of amino acids provides pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, oxaloacetate, Fumarate, α-ketoglutarate, and succinate

          • Thus, when acetyl-CoA levels exceed the oxaloacetate supply, allosteric activation of pyruvate carboxylase by acetyl-CoA raises oxaloacetate levels, so that the excess acetyl-CoA can enter the TCA cycle
          • 这个酶需要acetyl-CoA的别构激活, 所以acetyl-CoA超量供应时候就会激活这个酶, 把 pyruvate 变成 oxaloacetate 平衡TCA第一步两个反应物的量
