Petri Guide Flashcards
What kind of bond hols the fatty acid onto sphingolipids?
Amide only (note the initial acyl group is reduced, so no acyl groups in this molecule)
What 3 lipids are typically found on the outer leaflet?
- Sphingomyelin
- Phophatidylcholine
- Glycolipids (A,B,O bloodtype)
What 3 phospholipids can be make by headgroup activation and what is special about this group of phospholipids?
- PC
- PS
- PE
*They can be interconverted
PE –> PC, via 3 SAM
PE –> PS, via simple exchange
PS –> PE, via decarboxylation
What do you get when you use phospholipase A1 on a phospholipid?
- Saturated fatty acid
- glycerol + C2 UNsaturated FA + C3 phosphate and headgroup
What do you get when you use phospholipase A2 on a phospholipid?
- UNaturated fatty acid
- glycerol + C1 Saturated FA + C3 phosphate and headgroup
What do you get when you use Phospholipase C on a phospholipid?
- DAG
- phosphate-Headgroup
What do you get when you used phospholipase D on a phospholipid?
- Phosphatidic Acid
- Headgroup
What phospholipase turns phosphatidylcholine into arachnidonic acid?
Phospholipase A2
** This reaction is used in Eicosonoid Synthesis for prostagladins, leukotrienes etc.
What two precursors can be reacted to get cardiolipin?
- CDP-DAG
- Phosphatidylglycerol
Where are p450 proteins located?
- Cytosolic Side of ER
2. Inner Mitochondrial Membrane
What protein works with the p450s on the cytosolic side of the ER?
- NAPH Cytochrome p450 Reductase (FAD and FMN)
What proteins work with p450s on the inner mitochondrial membrane?
- Ferrodoxin Reductase (FAD)
2. Ferrodoxin (Fe/S)
What is cytochrom b5?
small membrane bound heme-containing protein that gets electrons from NADH and gives them to p450s
What phase of drug metabolism are p450s involved in?
Phase I
What does ACTH do to p450s?
-Induces Steriod Biosynthetic p450s by cAMP cascade
