PRE FI LEC 2: PROTEINS AND PROTEIN METABOLISM Flashcards

1
Q

PROTEIN CLASSIFICATION BASED ON SHAPE
- are protein molecules with peptide chains that are folded into SPHERICAL or GLOBULAR shapes
- water solubles (because the hydrophobic amino acids residues of this protein are hidden in the protein core and what is shown outside is the hydrophilic amino are residue
- function as enzyme and intra cellular signalling molecules
Ex: MYOGLOBIN & HEMOGLOBIN

Q
  • is an oxygen storage molecules in muscle
  • monomers are single peptide chain with heme unit so that is why it is capable of holding and transporting of oxygen
  • binds one oxygen molecule
  • 1 heme unit = 1 molecule of oxygen binding
  • higher affinity of oxygen compared to hemoglobin
  • serve as reserve oxygen source for working muscles

LIPOPROTEIN METABOLISM 2 PATHWAYS

A

EXOGENOUS PATHWAY
ENDOGENOUS PATHWAY

59
Q
  • triglycerides involves in this pathway is coming from the OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT
  • involves the food intake of an individual
A

EXOGENOUS PATHWAY

60
Q
  • after food intake ( especially if greasy or fatty; in small intestines, CHYLOMICRON is secreted (rich in triglycerides that is from the food intake of the person
  • the dietary lipids that is absorbed in the small intestine
    are incorporated into the chylomicron (w/APO B-48) which will now reach the systemic circulation
  • in systemic circulation, CHYLOMICRONS will encounter ADIPOSE TISSUE, the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL) will break down triglycerides into FREE FATTY ACIDS and GLYCEROL which will now be deposited into the adipose tissue and will be the stored energy of our body
  • Chylomicrons become smaller in size since triglyceride content is removed, which is now known as CHYLOMICRON REMNANTS (APO E) will be taken up by liver in which the process is called RECEPTOR MEDIATED ENDOCYTOSIS
  • CHYLOMICRON REMNANTS binds to APO E receptor by liver for it to be endocytose or be able to enter inside the liver cells or hepatocytes
  • this chylomicron remnants are used for the production of free fatty acids and cholesterol in the liver
A

EXOGENOUS PATHWAY

61
Q

62
Q

63
Q

major apolipoprotein of CHYLOMICRON REMNANTS is…

A

APO E

64
Q
  • inside the liver processes
  • starting products: free fatty acids and cholesterol ( formed in the exogenous pathway)
  • entering the endogenous pathway, it will begin in the liver where the free fatty acids and cholesterol that is produced by the liver will be carried by VLDL out of the hepatic cells into the circulation
  • in the circulation, VLDL will encounter the adipose tissue
  • LPL enzyme in the adipose tissue, which will break down the triglycerides into free fatty acids and cholesterol
  • VLDL might become IDL OR EMPTY HDL
  • IDL will go back to the liver since it just a transient lipoprotein, it is needed to be conjugated again
  • in the liver IDL will be converted into LDL via the help of Hepatic lipase (HPL)
  • LDL, on the transport of cholesterol from the liver to the extrahepatic tissues such as peripheral tissues
    ex: adrenocortex where LDL receptors are present
  • after cholesterol has been delivered to various organs, LDL will go back again to the liver to carry again molecules of cholesterol
A

ENDOGENOUS PATHWAY

65
Q

conversion of IDL to LDL is aided by the enzyme…

A

HEPATIC LIPASE (HPL)

66
Q
  • synthesized and secreted from both the liver and intestines

- HDL now holds esterified cholesterol if it encounters this enzyme

A

Q
