Q

ATP Synthase: Location of F0 complex? Function?

A

Inner mitochondrial membrane

Contains H+ pore

17
Q

ATP Synthase: Location of F1 complex? Function?

A

Mitochondrial matrix

Contains catalytic activity (ADP + Pi ➡️ ATP)

18
Q

3 alpha-beta domains of ATP Synthase F1 complex?

A

Open conformation: ⬇️ affinity for [S] & [P], inactive
Loose conformation: binds loosely, catalytically inactive
Tight conformation: binds tightly, catalytically active

19
Q

What is the function of uncoupling agents of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

Create channel ➡️ H+ reenter mitochondrial matrix w/out capturing energy as ATP

Energy released as heat

20
Q

What are the uncoupling agents of oxidative phosphorylation?

A 
Oligomycin
Brown adipocytes (UCP1, thermogenin)
2,4-dinitrophenol
⬆️ aspirin
Ionophores (valinomycin, nigericin, gramicidin A)
21
Q

Of the 2 shuttles moving NADH ➡️ mitochondria, which is principle?

A

Malate-aspartate shuttle

22
Q

G3P shuttle: NADH (cytosol) ➡️ FADH2 (MT)

Where does FADH2 go?

A

Coenzyme Q of ETC

23
Q

Malate Aspartate shuttle: NADH (cytosol) ➡️ NADH (MT)

Where does NADH go?

A

Complex I of ETC

24
Q

Regulation of apoptosis at MT?

A

➕: Bax, free radicals, ⬆️Ca2+

➖: Bcl2

25
Q

release of cyt c ➡️ steps to apoptosis?

A

Cyt c + Apaf-1 + Procaspase 9 ➡️ Apoptosome
Apoptosome + ATP ➡️ activate Caspase 9
Caspase 9 ➡️ activates caspases ➡️ cell death

26
Q

Mildly deleterious base substitutions ➡️ clinical examples?

A

Familial deafness
Alzheimer’s
Parkinson’s

27
Q

mtDNA mutations: Nucleotide substitutions

Moderately deleterious base substitutions ➡️ clinical examples?

A

Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)

Myoclonic epilepsy & ragged-red fiber disease (MERRF)

28
Q

mtDNA mutations: Nucleotide substitutions

Severe deleterious base substitutions ➡️ clinical examples?

A

Leigh’s syndrome dystonia

29
Q

mtDNA mutations: rearrangements

Milder rearrangements (duplications) ➡️ clinical examples?

A

Maternally inherited adult-onset diabetes & deafness

30
Q

mtDNA mutations: rearrangements

Severe rearrangements (deletions) ➡️ clinical examples?

A

chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO)
Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS)
lethal childhood disorders
Pearson marrow/pancreas syndrome

31
Q

Other O2 consuming systems:

Hypoxanthine ➡️ 2 products? (separate rxns w/water & O2 ➡️ also makes ROS)

A

Xanthine

Uric acid

32
Q

Other O2 consuming systems:

D-amino acid ➡️ ? (+ H2O2)

A

Keto acids

33
Q

Fxn of NADPH producing ROS?

A

Kills germs

34
Q

Fxn of glutathione?

A

Reacts with ROS (protects against O2 toxicity)

Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) reacts with NADPH
