24
Q

What type of rxns is B6 involved in

A

Transamination reactions

25
Q

Person has ringed sideroblasts: what is the defective enzyme, what vitamin is a cofactor, what is the disease?

A

B6, delta-ALA synthase

X-linked sideroblastic anemia–>defective heme synthesis

26
Q

defect in methionine catabolism: what’s the disease, enzyme, and cofactor

A

Homocysteinuria - enzyme affected, cystathionine synthase, vitamin B6

27
Q

What are the 2 substrates of ALA-synthase

A

glycine and succinyl-CoA.

28
Q

What are the 2 enzymes in humans that use B12 as a cofactor

A

Methionine synthase

Methylmalony-CoA-Mutase

29
Q

Methionine synthase: adds what group to what molecule to create another moilecule

A

CH3-B12 donates a methyl group to homocysteine to synthesize methionine (by the enzyme methionine synthase)

30
Q

Methylmalony-CoA-Mutase: breaks down what 2 things into what molecule

A

it breaks down odd-chain FAs and BCAAs –> succinyl CoA

31
Q

4 diseases that affect B12 absorption and

Tropical Sprue
Celiac Disease
Atropic gastritis (loss of parietal cells)

32
Q

Nitrous oxide effect on B12–

A

Nitrous oxide inactivates B12 and can lead to symptoms of B12 deficiency.

33
Q

What diabetes drug decreases uptak eof B12

A

metformin

34
Q

WHat ABX decreases uptak eof B12

A

tetracycline

35

37
Q

what 3 hyrdroxylation rxns is vitmain c used in

A

Hydroxylation of proline and lysine in collagen
Hydroxylation of dopamine to norepinephrine
Hydroxylation of hypoxia inducible factor used as an oxygen sensor in angiogenesis

38
Q

vitamin A deficiency is considered a nutritionally acquired… what type of disease?

A

immunodeficiency disease

39
Q

Which retinoid transformation plays a role in the visual cycle?

a. reduction of retinal to retinol
b. the cis/trans isomerization of a double bond
c. oxidation of retinal to retinoic acid
d. the transformation of a carotinoid to a retino

A

b. the cis/trans isomerization of a double bond

40
Q

Chromium/ Biologically active chromomodulin has what effect in body?

A

enhances the effects of insulin on target tissues.

41
Q

chromium deficiencies have what sx?

A

symptoms resemble those of diabetes mellitus

42
Q

Menkes disease is caused by a deficiency of what?

A

a copper-transporting ATPase

43
Q

Menkes disease presents as (4)

A
  1. intractable seizures
  2. connective tissue disorders,
  3. subdural hemorrhage and
  4. hair abnormalities (“kinky hair”)
44
Q

a defect in copper excretion from the body in the bile –> copper toxicity is what disease?

A

Wilson’s disease

45
Q

What the most common cause of preventable brain damage worldwide?

A

Iodine deficiency

46
Q

Fluorine fucntion

A

hardening tooth enamel and stabilizing mineralized bone.

47
Q

The molecular basis for the anemia observed in patients with copper deficiency resides in copper being an essential cofactor for

a. cytochrome C oxidase.
b. lysyl oxidase.
c. superoxide dismutase.
d. ceruloplasmin.
e. tyrosinase.

A

d. ceruloplasmin.

Copper is an essential cofactor for ceruloplasmin and other ferrioxidases. These ferrioxidases play an important role in iron mobilization and transport within the body. Ceruloplasmin is particularly important in loading iron onto transferrin, and so copper deficiency interferes with iron delivery to red blood cell progenitors in the bone marrow resulting in anemia.

48
Q

A newborn presents with exaggerated startle reflexes and stiffness of neonatal onset. An incidental finding of hypouricemia suggested that the infant was unable to synthesize a cofactor derived from which trace mineral?

a. molybdenum
b. zince
c. iodine
d. selenium
e. manganese

A

e. manganese

Xanthine oxidase is involved in the catabolism of purines to uric acid. Xanthine oxidase requires the molybdenum-based cofactor Moco for activity. The neurological symptoms in this newborn are likely caused by a deficiency of sulfite oxidase, another Moco-containing enzyme.

49
Q

Kashin-Beck disease is caused by the unusual susceptability of individuals with selenium deficiency to oxidative damage caused by a mycotoxin. Which enzyme requiring selenium as a cofactor provides protection against this mycotoxin in populations with sufficient selenium in the diet?

a. superoxide dismutase
b. glutathione peroxidase
c. catalase
d. phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
e. tyrosinase

A

b. glutathione peroxidase
