Poly- A tail

A

Tail is added after it recognizes the polyadenylation sequence (AAUAAA). Tail ranges from 40-200 nucleotides.

Helps in stabilizing, in translation, and transporting out of the cell

Longer poly-A tail, more stable it is since exonucleases will have to eat more to get to the actual mRNA

Splicing mechanism

A

  • Eukaryotes: EF-Tu, EF-Ts, and EFG
144
Q

Putting elongation aa-tRNA on A site

A
  • EF-Tu is a GTP protein and takes the elongator aa-tRNA and places it at A site. When it is put at the A site, GTP is hydrolyzed and becomes GDP. The protein is now inactive
  • EF-Tu-GDP then binds to EF-Ts and displaces GDP
  • EF-Tu-Ts binds to GTP and displaces Ts
145

A

Lipid-soluble molecules that will dissipate the electrochemical gradient of H+. H ions will still move but instead of energy being in ATP, it’ll be in heat

Thermogenein (UCP1) is an example

UCP2 and UCP3 lead to weight loss by breaking down fat

293
Q

Mitochondrial diseases

A

From mother. Random selection of mitochondria region leads to some areas having more infectious agents than others

294
Q

Glycogen

A

Stores glucose. Is a branches polysaccharide that is sparsely soluble

Has glycosidic type a 1,4 and 1,6 bonds

Found in liver and muscle. Higher composition in liver but higher mass in muscles.

Muscle glycogen can not give glucose to other tissues since it doesn’t have glucose 6 phosphorylase

295
Q

Phosphoglucomuatse

A

Isomerizes glucose 6 phosphate to glucose 1 phosphate

296
Q

Glycogen synthase

A

Adds glucose to 4’ end on glycogen branch. However, this is thermodynamically unfavorable so first has reaction with UTP and glycogen synthase uses this phosphate to add glucose

Glycogen synthase can only add glucose to an already existing glycogen chain

297
Q

If no glycogen chain…

A

Glucose attaches to tyrosine residue on glycogenin. Glycogenin catalyzes it’s own reaction

After about 7 chains, glycogen synthase can begin acting on it

298
Q

Branching enzyme

A

Takes a residue of about 6-7 branches and attaches it to a terminal carbon 6 group to form an a 1,6 bond

299
Q

Glycogen phosphorylase

A

Breaks down glycogen to form glucose. Cannot break down a glycogen chain that is 4 residues or less

300
Q

Debranching enzyme

A

Breaks down the 4 chain glycogen molecule. Takes three out of the four glucose molecules and adds them to a longer chain. Takes the remaining one and cuts off the bond to form a free glucose molecule

301
Q

Lysosomal degradation of glucose

A

Lysosome has enzymes to break down glycogen. However, breaks down a very negligible amount.

When this enzyme is defected, glycogen accumulates in the lysosome vesicle and leads to glycogen storage disease type II (pompe’s disease)

302
Q

Regulation of glycogen phosphorylase

A

When blood glucose becomes low, glucagon levels become high. So glucagon binds to the receptor and form cAMP. cAMP will activate protein kinase A. PKA will activate the active “a” form of phosphorylase kinase. “A” form of phosphorylase kinase will activate glycogen phosphorylase and break down glycogen

In muscle, epinephrine is used

303
Q

A adrenergic receptors

A

Couple to adenyl cyclase and form cAMP

304
Q

B adrenergic receptors

A

Coupled to G protein. G protein activates phospholipase C. Phospholipase C hydrolyzes PIP2 to form IP3 and DAG

DAG binds to & activates protein kinase C that phosphorylates a lot of molecules including glycogen synthase

IP3 binds to ER receptors to release Ca. Ca will bind with calmodulin and activate phosphorylase kinase

305
Q

In liver, epinephrine…

A

Leads to same Ca cascade

306
Q

In muscle, acetylcholine

A

Will release Ca and go through same cascade. In this way, don’t need pka to activate phosphorylase kinase

AMP also activated phosphorylase kinase

307
Q

Glycogen synthase

A

Exits in active “a” non-phosphorylated form and inactive “b” phosphorylated form

Insulin will activate glycogen synthase and glucagon will inhibit it

308
Q

Also makes NADPH and makes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and glucose-6 phosphate

Has 2 steps:

  • Oxidative
  • Non oxidative
309
Q
