The nоnоxidаtive glycоlysis (NOG) pаthwаy can achieve stoichiometric carbon recovery for sugar-derived biosynthesis. Analyze the pathway figure below and answer the following questions: 1. In order to test whether this pathway can completely convert 1 F6P to 3 AcP, you were asked to try it in a test tube first. Please list the names of the enzymes in the labeled steps 2-4 that you need to purify to make this NOG pathway work. (10 pts) 2. Which enzymatic steps are providing the thermodynamic driving force to make this NOG work? (5 pts) 3. You purified phosphoketolases (PK) (step 1) from three different organisms and tried them individually in the NOG reactions. After adding F6P and DHAP to the enzyme mixtures to start the reactions, you found all three PKs could drive the production of AcP. However, when you tested the PK activities, you found these PKs have different specificities toward F6P and X5P. Only one of the three has activities toward both F6P and X5P (F/XpK). The other two have only activities for either F6P (FpK) or X5P (XpK). Explain how were the other two PKs able to complete the NOG reactions? If there are any additional reactions that are not present in the figure to enable the NOG, please include these reactions in your answer. (20 pts)
