Glycolysis, Gluconeogenesis, and the Role of Aldolase Gene Expression: Presentation

Regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis is a critical concept in biochemistry and often difficult for students to learn. This assignment allows the student to formulate a presentation on the topic and link this to the regulation of aldolase expression in various tissues of the body.

Give a 25-minute lesson teaching with a PowerPoint presentation. Each of the following topics should be covered (review the rubric for context):

-An overview of the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways
-How aldolase is involved in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
-The different isoforms of aldolase and their different expression patterns
-An examination of how Aldolase B expression can be regulated by transcription factors HNF-1, HNF-3, C/EPB, and DBP

The lesson presentation should include a title and reference slide and have between 10-15 content slides. At least four references should be cited (only one can be the textbook).
