Q

Transport of FA in mito

A

Cytosol
1. Long chain FA + ATP + coA via ACYL COA SYNTHESTASE -> Fatty acyl CoA + AMP +PPi

Intermembrane space

  1. Fatty acyl CoA move to interembrane space
  2. Fatty actyl CoA + Carnitine via CPT1 ->CoA + Fatty acylcarnitine

Matrix

  1. Fatty acylcarnitine via CARNITINE ACYLCARNITINE TRANSLOCASE move to matrix
  2. Fatty acylcarnitine + CoA via CPT2 -> Fatty acyl coA (ready for b oxida) + Carnitine (shuttled back into intermembrane space)

Short and medium chain FAs can be shuttle direction through MCT into matrix

Q

B oxidation

A
  1. oxidation: ACYL COA DEHYDROGENASE- oxidizes FA to a double bond and reduces FAD to FAD(2H) (1.5 ATP)
  2. hydration: ENOYL COA HYDRALASE- adds H2O
  3. oxidation: B-HYDROXY ACYL DEHYDROGENASE- oxidizes FA alcohol to ketone reduces NAD+ to NADH + H+ (2.5ATP)
  4. cleavage: B-KETO THIOLASE- cleaves 2 carbons and adds coA to make acetyl coA + shortened FA-coA

A

Odd chain FA b-oxi to propionyl-CoA

  1. propionyl-CoA + ATP +CO2-biotin via PRIOPIRONYL-COA CARBOXYLASE -> AMP + PPi + methyl malonyl-coA // intermediate // succinyl coA (citric acid cycle)

Essentially: can move 3C FA to citric acid cycle via rearrangement and energy

Q

Regulation of B oxidation

A

+: High levels of FA induce transcription of enzyme genes

Fatty acyl CoA –> Fatty acyl carnitine, inhibited by malonyl coA (it is intermediate of FA synth!)

ATP/ADP ratio high inhibits ETC thereby increases NADH and FAD(2H) which inhibits B-oxidation (because they are products)

Essentially: reduce Boxi when ATP high

Q

Peroxisomes

A

**oxidation of very long chain FAs, contain catalase
detox of phenols fraldehyde alchohols
Synth plasmalogens

**Long chain FA-coA + FAD via OXIDASE -> FAD(2H) + shorterFA-coA (can now be transformed to acetyl carnitine or SCFA-carnitine and shuttles to mito matrix)

FAD(2H) + O2 -> H2O2 (Toxic) via CATALASE -> H2O + .5 O2

A

in peripheral tissues

A
  1. Ethanol + NAD+ via ALCOHOL DEHYDRGENASE CYTOSOL -> NADH + H+ + Acetaldehyde
  2. Acetaldehyde + NAD+ via ACETALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE MITOCHONDRIA -> Acetate + ANDH + H+
  3. Acetate + coASH + ATP via ACETYL COA SYNTHETASE -> acetylcoA

Also happens on membrane of ER with MEOS (microsomal ethanol oxidizing system) to turn ethanol to acetaldehyde

FA synth: production of cytosolic acetylcoA

A

Cytosol
1. Glucose via glycolysis -> pyruvate

Mitochondria

  1. pyruvate via PYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE -> OAA
  2. 1 pyruvate PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE -> Acetyl coA
  3. OAA + Acetylcoa -> citrate, exits mitochondria

Cytosol

  1. citrate via CITRATE LYASE -> OAA + AcetylcoA (for FA synth)
  2. 1 OAA + NADH via CYTOSOLIC MALATE DEHYDROGENASE -> Malate + NAD+
  3. Malate + NADP+ via MALIC ENZYME -> Pyruvate (ready to cycle into mitochondria) + CO2 + NADPH

Q

Regulation of acetyl coA carboxylase

A

Cytosol:
Acetyl coA + CO2(biotin) + ATP via ACETYL COA CARBOXYLASE -> ADP + Pi + Malonyl coA

Direct:
+: Citrate
-: Palmitoyl coA

Phosphorylation inactivates
AMP-activated protein kinase adds P group (increased activity under low energy levels)
Phosphatase removes P group (increased activity under high insulin levels)

Q

Regulation of CPT1

A

Cytosol:
Malonyl CoA inhibits CPT1 to stop transport of FAcoA+Carnitine into intermembrane space, because malonyl coA substrate for FA synthase and wants to inhibit b oxidation of FAs

17
Q

Synthesis of palmitate

A

on FATTY ACID SYNTHASE on cytosolic side of ER

AcetylcoA gives the first C, all others from malonylcoA

  1. Condensation: removes CO2 and coASH
  2. Reduction: NADPH to NADP+
  3. Dehydration: removes H2O
  4. Reduction: NADPH to NADP+

Adds 2 Cs at a time

18
Q

Desaturation of FAs

A

saturated FA + O2 +2H+ via FATTY ACYL COA DESATURASE -> H2O + Monosaturate FAcylCoA

This can happen at C9, C5, C6

19
Q

Synth Ketone bodies (when, where, mech)

A

When: fasting, carb restriction
Where: mitochondria of hepatocytes

  1. 2 acetylCoA via THIOLASE -> coASH + acetoacetylCoA
  2. acetoacetylCoA + acetylcoA via HMG COA SYNTHASE -> HMGcoA
  3. HMGcoA via HMG COA LYASE -> acetylcoa + acetoacetate
  4. acetoacetate +NADH+H via B HYDROXYBUTYRATE DEHYDROGENASE-> B-hydoxybutyrate + NAD+
  5. 1 acetoacetate spontaneous loss of CO2 -> acetone
20
Q

Regulation of ketone body synthesis

A
  1. ) High levels of FA lead to
  2. ) high levels of CPT1 and thereby low levels of malonyl coA
  3. ) This produces high levels of FA-carnitine transformed to FA-CoA in mido matrix, and high levels of ATP from ETC inhibit Boxidation process but
  4. )b oxidation occurs producing high levels of acetyl coA which are transformed to acetoacetyl coA and then produce ketone bodies
    - acetyl coA could also be transformed to citrate but ISOCITRATE DEHYDROGENASE in inhibited by high NADH so cannot catalyze rxn to malate
  5. ) OAA is being converted to malate because high NADH levels (OAA + NADH -> NAD+ + malate), malate sent for gluconeogenesis
21
Q

Ketogenic AAs

A

Source of keton bodies during starvation, produce acetyl coA and or acetoacetate

22
