How does citrate from the citric acid cycle affect glycolysis?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Citrate from the citric acid cycle inhibits glycolysis by acting as an allosteric inhibitor of phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), a key regulatory enzyme in glycolysis. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Citrate is produced in the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle) within the mitochondria. ‖‖ b ⋮ When citrate levels are high, it indicates that the cell has sufficient energy and intermediates for biosynthetic processes. ‖‖ c ⋮ Citrate acts as an allosteric inhibitor of phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in glycolysis. ‖‖ d ⋮ By inhibiting PFK-1, citrate slows down glycolysis, thereby reducing the production of pyruvate and subsequent entry into the citric acid cycle. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Citrate as an allosteric inhibitor ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Citrate inhibits phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), a key enzyme in glycolysis, thereby regulating the flow of glucose through the glycolytic pathway based on the cell's energy needs. ⚹◊What is the role of citrate in regulating the rate of glycolysis in cells?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
