Lipids And Lipoproteins Flashcards
How to make isoprenoids (IPP) and its significance
3 acetyl CoAs Precursor for - steroids (cholesterol) - Lipid vitamins -ubiquinone
How does Acetyl Co A get into cytoplasm
Citrate shuttle
Made from pyruvate, aa, FAs in mitochondria
6 units of IPP forms
Tetracyclic sterane ring
Cholesterol is allicyclic meaning
OH at 3rd position
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic
Cholesterol is precursor for
VIT D
Bile
Steroid hormones (E, P, Cortisol, Aldosteron, T)
Breakdown of cholesterol
No enzymes Can only be excreted by in liver
Daily cholesterol recommended intake and how much body makes
<300mg
0.75g-1.0g / day
Synthesis of cholesterol needs what
18 ATP
18 Acetyl CoA
16 NADPH
Phase 1 of cholesterol synthesis
3 AcetylCoA ——> IPP
2 Acetyl CoA (acetoacetyl CoA)—HMG CoA synthase—> HMG CoA
RLS : HMG CoA reductase (HMG CoA—> Mevalonate)
Phase 2 of cholesterol synthesis
IPP ——> Cholesterol
How is HMG CoA reductase functioning
Made in ER
Catalytic domain is on cytosolic side (where statins or HMG CoA binds)
Inhibiting IPP synthesis by Statin can also inhibit what synthesis
Heme A
Ras protein
Ubiquinone
Dolichol
Statin is what kind of inhibitor
Affinity
+ side effect of long term use
- side effects
Competitive inhibitor
Higher affinity
Transcription of LDL receptor for cells to take up cholesterol
Myotoxic: X ubiquinone——> fatigue and muscle death
Direct and covalent modification to regulate HMG CoA Reductase
Direct : FFA, bile, oxysterol, statin
Covalent Modification : Phospholylation = inactivates, dephosphorylated = activated
* low energy = high AMP —> AMPK activated = phosphorylates it
What dephosphorylates or phosphorylates HMG CoA Reductase
Phosphorylates: AMPK + Glucagon
Dephosphorylates : Insulin
