Glucose breakdown in certain mammalian and bacterial cells can occur by mechanisms other than classic glycolysis.  In most of these, glucose 6-phosphate is oxidized to 6-phosphogluconate, which is then further metabolized by:

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. an aldolase-type split to form glyceric acid and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

  2. an aldolase-type split to form glycolic acid and erythrose 4-phosphate.

  3. conversion to 1,6-bisphosphogluconate.

  4. decarboxylation to produce keto- and aldopentoses.

Following statements are regarding to protein kinase A which phosphorylates multiple intracellular target proteins expressed in different cell types.

A. Inactive PKA is a tetramer consisting of two regulatory (R) subunits and two catalytic (C) subunits.

B. Each R subunit contains a pseudo-substrate domain whose sequence resembles that of a peptide substrate and binds to the active site in the catalytic domain but is not phosphorylated; thus the pseudo-substrate domain inhibits the activity of the catalytic subunits.

C. active PKA is turned off by binding of cAMP Each R subunit has two distinct cAMP-binding sites, called CNB-A and CNB-B.

D. Binding of cAMP by an R subunit of PKA occurs in a cooperative fashion; that is, binding of the first cAMP molecule to CNB-B increases the Kd for binding of the second cAMP to CNB-A. Thus small changes in the level of cytosolic cAMP can cause proportionately large changes in the number of dissociated C subunits and, hence, in cellular kinase activity.
