Q

Dentin process

A

RER (collagen is here) -> golgi -> secretory vesicles -> fuse with plasma membrane -> collagen is released -> fibrous network is formed and gets mineralized -> dentin

22
Q

Scurvy can result in:

A
  • reduced collagen stability
  • skin legions
  • poor wound healing
  • breakage of blood vessels
23
Q

What are propieces and where are they found?

A
  • Extensions (on C and N termini) on collagen polypeptides that are not found in mature collagen
24
Q

What do C terminal propieces facilitate?

A

Triple helix formation

25
Q

What do propieces prevent?

A

Premature aggregation

26
Q

What is the purpose of gaps in the arrangement of triple helices?

A

Serve as a nucleation point for CaPO4 and mineralization of teeth and bone

27
Q

T4 collagen NC domain purpose

A

Leads to a mat-like structure (as opposed to bundles)

28
Q

What does HyPro do in terms of collagen denaturation?

A

It increases the temp needed to denature collagen from 24 to 39

29
Q

What does lysine amino oxidase require in order to function?

A

Copper

30
Q

What 2 things are needed in the diet for collagen metabolism?

A
  • Copper
  • Vitamin C
31
Q

How can thermal stability be increased?

A

Through covalent crosslinking of collagen triple helices

32
Q

Ehler Danlos IV

A

Premature degradation of T3 collagen (affects elasticity)

33
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta type 1

A

Decreased synthesis of T1 collagen (teeth and bone)

34
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta type 2 AND Dentineogenesis imperfecta type 1

A

Loss of function in triple helix region of T1 collagen (teeth and bone)

34
Q

Dentineogenesis imperfecta type 2 AND Dentine dysplasia

A
  • DSPP
  • Teeth only (no bone involvement)
34
Q

Definition of carbohydrates

A

Polyhydroxy aldehydes or keytones

34
Q

What is the critical role of DPP?

A
  • Binding to the cavities in the collagen fibrils and initiating the mineralization process
  • Would have weaker teeth without it
35
Q

Elastin…

A
  • Lacks any type of structure
  • Is cross-linked
  • Hydrophobic chains
  • When pressure is released, it snaps back on itself due to the hydrophobic interactions
36
Q

What is a C4 epimer of glucose?

A

Galactose

37
Q

What is a C2 epimer of glucose?

A

Mannose

38
Q

Glucose structure from C2-C5

A

down, up, down, up

39
Q

What happens to a carb when an O-Glycosidic bond is formed?

A

It becomes non-reducing because it no longer has a free aldehyde and is not in equilibrium with its straight chain form

40
Q

Humans lack an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing which type of linkages?

A

Beta 1-4 linkages

41
Q

What does cellulose pass through the GI tract as?

A

Fiber (It’s B 1-4 linked)

42
Q

What do you need to get into the secretory pathway and onto the plasma membrane during protein trafficking?

A

Into: signal peptide
Onto: stop transfer sequence

43
Q

N-linked glycosylation:

A
  • Asn-X-Ser or Asn-X-Thr
  • 14 residue core oligosaccharide is attached to Asn through an N-glycosidic bond
44
Q

What is dolichol?

A

A lipid that provides energy for forming N-glycosidic bonds

45
Q

What is a complex class?

A

Defined by sialic acid (nana)

46
Q

What is a high mannose class?

A

Defined by persistence of mannose residues

47
Q

How are core oligosaccharides added?

A

Cotranslationally

48
Q

How are core oligosaccharides anchored to the ER membrane?

A

Linkage with dolichol

49
Q

Glycosylation occurs through an ordered series of processing reactions that involves what?

A

Trimming and addition of carbs

50
Q

Function of glycosylation?

A
  • Protect proteins from degredation
  • Acts as a mechanical “stiff arm”
  • Mechanical recognition
51
Q

Failure to breakdown GAGs can lead to…

A

Muscopolysaccharidoses, buildup in the joints, and many syndromes and diseases
