How do you make niacin and what can go wrong?

A

Niacin from tryptophan. Requires B6. With Hartnup (decreased tryptophan absorption), carcinoid (increased tryptophan metabolism because serotonin), and INH (decreased B6), can get pellagra –> diarrhea, dermatitis, and dementia (similar to B12 deficiency)

Q

DNA replication of prokaryotes

A

Helicase unwinds DNA at fork and single stranded binding proteins keep it open. Topos (gyrase= topo 2) create nicks to prevent supercoils while this is happening. Primase makes an RNA primer on which DNA poly III can replicate, then DNA poly III does 5–>

How does the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis work? Extrinsic?

Intrinsic: Growth factor withdrawn or injury –> p53 activates Bax, allowing cytochrome c to leave the mitochondria (Bcl-2 normally keeps cyt c in mito)–> activation of cytosolic caspases –> cellular breakdown. Extrinsic: Cd95(Fas-R) bound –> apoptosi

Q

Wet beriberi vs dry beriberi. What else might you see in a patient with this?

A

Thiamine deficiency: impaired glucose breakdown because all those big enzymes need it (pyruvate dehydrogenase, transketolase, alpha ketogluturate, branched-chain amino acid dehydrogenase) –> really aerobic tissues affected first (heart and brain). Wet: High output cardiac failure (dilated cardiomyopathy), edema. Dry: polyneuritis, symmetrical muscle wasting. May also see wernicke-kersakoff –> ataxia, confusion, opthalmoplegia

Unfractionated vs LMWH? Uses, how do you treat OD?

A

Unfractionated heparin is a little bigger, so you can use it for pregnant ladies AND it can bind ATIII and thrombin at the same time and bring them together, so antithrombin can hit Xa AND thrombin (only hits Xa with LMWH). OD –> bleeding, thrombocytopenis (HIT), osteoporosis. Treat with protamine sulfate for unfractionated, LMWH is not easily reversible.

Q

A boy presents with recurrent episodes of resp infection and diarrhea. He has decreased proprioception and ankle reflexes. He also has mild anemia. What should you give him?

A

Vitamin E. He has CF, so he is ADEK deficient. A causes night blindness and dry skin and you have lots of stores, D causes rickets, and K causes increased bleeding like warfarin. So that leaves E. E is an antioxidant so it protects membranes from free radical damage. Without it, you get RBC damage –> anemia, muscle weakness, and posterior column and spinocerebellar tract demyelination (looks exactly like B12 deficiency!)

A

Uses host to make one huge protein and then part of that protein is a protease and cuts up the proteins. Problem with viruses is that you have one strand of material and eukaryotes are monocistronic (only make one protein from the material), whereas viruses are polycistronic (code for everything in that strand). Can separate by segmented (like influenza), or promoters, or proteases, or alternative splicing
