Q

What are the types of mutations and what occurs with each type?

L12 S20

A

Silent:

-no change in amino acid

Missense:

  • change in amino acid
  • can have no function effect on protein or significant functional effect

Nonsense:

-creates stop codon

Frameshift:

-addition or removal of an nucleotide causing shift of codons resulting in completely different amino acid sequence

Q

What is Sickle cell anemia and what sort of mutation leads to it?

L12 S21

A

Caused by a missense mutation of β-globin gene. Sixth codon goes from GAG (Glu, acidic) to GTG (Val, hydrophobic).

Leads to aggregation of hemoglobin creating sickle shaped RBCs with diminished oxygen carrying capacity.

Q

What is Duchenne muscular dystrophy and what sort of mutation leads to it?

L12 S22

A

Caused by an out-of-frame deletion that results in massive loss of function of dystrophin gene.

Results in muscle wasting beginning at age of 3-5 leading to being wheelchair bound by the age of 12 with death in 10 years due to respiratory failure.

Q

What are the major pathways of protein sorting? What organelles are the proteins going to?

Where are the ribosomes located?

L12 S25

A

Cytoplasmic:

  • proteins for cytosol, mitochondria, nucleus, or peroxisome
  • ribosomes are free in the cytosol

Secretory:

  • proteins for ER, lysosomes, plasma membrane, or secretion
  • ribosomes attached to ER

L12 S27-28

A

Cytoplasm: no code

Mitochondria: hydrophobic α-helix

Nucleus: Lys-Arg rich

Peroxisome: SKL

ER: KDEL

Lysosome: mannose 6-P

Secretion: Try rich

Q

What are the proteins associated with protein transport for the mitochondria (3)?

L12 S30

A

HSP70: keeps protein unfolded during transportation through cytoplasm until it reaches TOM

TOM (transporter of outer membrane)

TIM (transporter of inner membrane)

17
Q

What signal and process is common of all protiens in the secretory pathway?

L12 S33-36

A

ER-trageting signal:

  • 1-2 basic AAs followed by hydrophobic (10-15)
  • recognized by signal recognition particle (SRP)
  • SRP binds ribosome to ER and facilitates insertion of protein into ER membrane

ER-target signal cleaved in ER

18
Q

What is I-cell disease and what causes it?

L12 S37

A

Results from defective tagging of lysosomal enzymes with lysosomal transport signal (mannose 6-P) and proteins are instead released outside of cell.

Leads to developmental delays, coarse facial features, restricted joint movement, failure to thrive, hepatosplenomegaly, and heart valve defects.

Death typically by the age of 7 from CHF or respiratory tract infections.

19
Q

What mechanisms of protein folding are there and what occurs to improperly folded proteins? L12 S39

A

Spontaneous:

-smaller proteins

Chaperones (passive assistance):

-larger proteins

Chaperonins (active assistance):

-large proteins

Aggregation:

-improperly folded large proteins

20
Q

How is proteolytic cleavage used as a post-translational process?

L12 S41

A

Unmasking:

-cleavage of masking sequence revealing sequence need for proper functioning

Activation of precursor:

-eg. pro[enzyme] to [enzyme]

21
Q

What are the 4 main covalent modifications of proteins? What amino acids are modified

L12 S42-43

A

Acetylation:

  • addition to amine
  • Lys

Glycosylation:

-addition to hydroxyl (O-glycosylation)

—Ser, Thr

-addition to acid-amine (N-glycosylation

—Asn, Gln

Phosphorylation:

  • addition to hydoxyl
  • Ser, Tyr, Thr, Asp, and His

Disulfide:

-connection of 2 cysteines via sulfhydryl

22
Q

How is collagen post-translationally modified?

L12 S50

A

Lysines and prolines are hydroxylated and then glycosylated.

This is achieved by lysyl and prolyl hydroxylases which are ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) dependent.

23
Q

What is the mechanism of Alzheimer’s disease?

What are the two types?

L12 S53

A

Misfolding of amyloid β peptide resulting in plaque formation

-or-

Hyperphosporylation of Tau Familial form:

-mutation of APP and Tau

Sporadic:

-age related changes

24
Q

What is the mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease?

Where does it occur? What are the two types?

L12 S55

A

Aggreation of α-synuclein protein resulting in Lewy bodies. Occurs in dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra resulting in decreased dopamine.

Familial form:

-AS mutation

Sporadic:

-age related changes

25
Q

What is the mechanism of Huntington’s disease?

Where does this occur?

L12 S56

A

Mutation of Huntington gene that results in increased number of CAG (glutamine) triplet repeats resulting in abnormal protein structure.

Causes selective cell death in basal ganglia.

26
Q

What is the mechanism of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?

What is special about how this disease occurs?

L12 S57

A

Misfolded prion proteins

Misfolded proteins causes normal proteins to misfold. Misfolded proteins can be transmitted via consumption.
