Proteoglycans
Act as molecular sieves in ECM, CT, and cartilage
GAGs are the long polysacc chains attached to core protein
GAG is heavily hydrated and cushions (has "-" charge)
Degraded via lysosomal pathway (defect = MPS)
Glycolipids
A.K.A. sphingolipids
Made with ceramide lipid base
Serine + palmitoyl-CoA => sphingosine (+FFA) => ceramide
Carb part sticks out into ECM (same w/ glycoproteins)
Side chain pKa's
Asp - 3.9 Gln - 4.1 His - 6.0 Cys - 8.5 Tyr -10.5 Lys - 10.5 Arg - 12.5
Lipids
FAs are carboxylic acids classified from C opposite C=O
Prostaglandins from polyunsat FAs like arachadonic acid
Phosphocoline: 2 FFAs + P group on glycerol - a component of sphingomyelin
Proteins
Written N-terminus to C-terminus
Cationic proteins migrate towards cathode ( - charge)
A-helix: carbonyl of a.a. binds w/ N-H of a.a. 4 down chain
Supersecondary str (ex: zing fingers) seen in TFs
PEST: sequence at N-terminus that tags protein for rapid degradation after synthesis by
nonspecific proteases
Hemoglobin
,2 A + 2 B, each with a heme porphyrin ring binding to Fe, which subsequently binds to
O2
Hb curve shifts to right w/ dec pH and inc 2,3-BPG binding to Hb=> unloads O2 better to
tissues
Fetal Hb has no 2,3-BPG binding site => higher affinity for O2
Curve shifts to left when CO binds => harder to unload O2
Collagen
Gly-X-Y, where X usually pro and Y usually hydroxypro
Triple helix formed inside cell, then secreted out and forms fibril
Hydroxylation of pro/lys inside ER requires vit C + O2
Lysyl oxidase deaminates hydroxylysine and lysine to form reactive aldehyde groups,
which cross-link the fibers
OI
Type I collagen malformation
Blue sclera + weak bones
Huntington's
Glu repeats cause malformed and aggregation of protein
A1-antitrypsin deficiency
Causes cirrhosis & emphysema
Marfan's syndrome
From fibrillin defect, causing massive growth and heart defects
Ehler-Danlos
no lysyl hydroxylase in collagen formation
=> hyperextensible skin
Michaelis-Menton
V = (Vmax * [S]) / (Km + [S])
Competitive inhibitors
Vmax same, Km increases
Intersect at Y-intercept on Lineweaver-Burke plot
Noncompetitive inhibitors
, Vmax decreases, Km same
Intersect at X-intercept on Lineweaver-Burke plot
Irreversible inhibitors have same kinetics
Allosteric enzyme
2+ subunits, each with substrate-binding sites that exhibit cooperativity
Allosteric binding can facilitate or inhibit substrate binding
Hemophilia A
Factor VIII deficiency
Creatine kinase
Isozyme with MM, BB, and BM forms
BM makes up 25% of myocardium and indicator of MI
Skeletal m is 99% MM
Carb digestion
Salivary amylase breaks down a-1,4 bonds in starch => dextrin
Intestinal amylase breaks down a-1,4 bonds b/t glucose => oligosaccharides,
disaccharides, and trisaccharides
Enzymes at brush border cleave to mono (a-1,4 + a-1,6)
Pancreatitis
Elevated serum amylase and lactase
Autodigestion of lipids/proteins
Lipid digestion
Occurs in pancreas, where 95% of lipids absorbed
Requires bile and lipase, which breaks down TAG => 2-MAG + FFA => micelles
Micelles release contents into enterocytes, where TAG is reformed using acyl-CoA
synthetase
TAG contributes CM formation, which passes into lymph
Bile salts reabsorbed in terminal ileum
Protein digestion
Digestion begins in stomach via pepsin (activated w/ H+)
Trypsin in intestine activated by enteropeptidase and activates all other proteolytic
enzymes (endo- and exopeptidases)
