A

80%

87
Q

what % of all carbonyl adducts does schiff base adduction account for

A

20%

88
Q

how can a cyclized michael adduct cause protein crosslinking

A

the hydroxyl group is reactive so it can react again, like with a nitrogen on lysine and cause crosslinking

89
Q

what are the 2 pathways to crosslinking of 4-HNE modification of protein

A
  • no cyclization michael adduct + schiff base

- 4-HNE followed by michael cyclization then crosslink

90
Q

how does the non cyclized michael protein crosslink happen (3 steps)

A
  • 2 nucleophilic residues to start with
  • one gets michael adduct (not cycled)
  • schiff base crosslink
91
Q

how does the cyclized Michael protein crosslink happen (1 step, name reaction and how product forms)

A
  • cyclized michael adduct, add Lys

- then the OH groups reacts and crosslinks with new protein

92
Q

what is the net result of protein crosslinking (simple)

A

dysfunctional proteins

93
Q

what functional groups seem to be especially sensitive to reactive aldehyde modification and why

A

sulfhydryl groups (SH) because the microenvironment of some active sites appear to make them so sensitive (and they are numerous in many active sites of enzymes)

94
Q

what does 4-HNE and 4-ONE do to cell life (which is more toxic)

A

it causes cell death, with ONE seeming more toxic

95

A

in mitochondrial membrane

98
Q

what is the normal role of bcl-2

A

anti-apoptosis

99
Q

how dies bcl-2 prevent apoptosis

101
Q

what are p50 and p65

A

part of NF-KB

102
Q

what holds NF-KB in the cytoplasm

A

IBK (inhibitor of KB)

103
Q

how does 4-HNE effect NF-KB pathway

A

it inhibits IKB degradation, keeping NF-KB bound and inactive (doesnt go to nucleus and do anti-apoptotic stuff)

104
Q

how does 4-HNE also effect bcl-2 (last point on slide)

A

inactivation by increasing ability of IKK to phosphorylate BCL-2

105
Q

what does IKK do

A

phosphorylates Bcl-2 (to inactivate it)

106
