Q

What occurs in Familial Hyperproinsulinemia and why?

A
  • too much proinsulin in the blood
  • Autosomal dominant
  • due to defective proinsulin cleavage resulting in equal amounts of proinsulin and insulin

Q

Why is the C peptide in proinsulin useful?

A

It stays in the blood for a longer time than the other cleaved peptides sop its concentration is proportional to insulin production.

  • useful in distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 diabetes
  • measures endogenous levels of insulin because artificial insulin doesn’t have the C peptide

Q

What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

A
  • type 1 doesn’t make enough insulin

- type 2 is resistant to insulin

Q

How does polio virus highjack the cell machinery?

A

Polio virus protease 2A cleaves eIF4G which is required for CAP dependent scanning initiation of protein synthesis BUT since polio doesn’t fuck wit CAP it stops the cell from making any proteins and then uses the cleaved eIF4G for IRES-mediated initiation. So it clears cellular ribosomes of any cellular tasks.

Q

What does peptidyl prolyl isomerase do?

A

interconvert CIS and trans forms of proline

17
Q

What do chaperones do?

A

Discourage improper interactions lol naturally

18
Q

When is the turnover rate of proteins elevated and why?

A

During starvation and hypercatalic states due to cortisol induction of ubiquitin-mediat3ed proteolysis

19
Q

What are the two extracellular mechanisms for protein turnover?

A
  • proteases

- amino and carboxy- peptidases

20
Q

What are the intracellular mechanisms for protein turnover?

A
  • proteasome-ubiquitin (most important and require ATP)

- caspases (involved in apoptosis)

21
Q

How does the proteasome-ubiquitin system work?

A
  • chain of ubiquitin attach to lysine residues on the protein which tarts that protein to the proteasome
22
Q

Listen carefully.

I want you to describe the process of ubiquination, in detail.

A

1) enzyme E1 uses ATP to attach to ubiquitin
2) ubiquitin gets transferred to E2
3) ubiquitin gets transferred to the target protein via E3 catalyzation
4) ubiquitin goes to a proteasome who digests the protein and frees ubiquitin unharmed.

23
Q

What is the N-end rule?

A

The nature of the N end has determinant properties regarding the proteins stability

24
Q

If the N-end is serine how long is the protein stable for?

A

20 hours

25
Q

If the N-end is aspartame how long is the protein stable for?

A

3 minutes

26
Q

What is a PEST sequence?

A

(proline, glutamate, serine, threonine) sequence that causes the protein to be degraded more rapidly by ubiquitin system

27
Q

What is the cause of Cystic Fibrosis?

A
  • a 3 nucleotide deletion (phenylalanine) that causes the cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor to misfold.
28
Q

What is the actual purpose of the C peptide?

A

To hold the A and B peptide in the correct formation for them to correctly form sulfide bridges

29
Q

How is insulin formed?

A
  • signal sequence at the N end gets cleaved by signal peptidase
  • disulfide bridges are formed between peptides A and B
  • C peptide is cleaved via proteinases in the Golgi apparatus
