|
Term
|
Definition
- ingested energy more than energy needs of body

Term
Mechanism of insulin production |
|
Definition
- preproinsulin form at first
- pre signal carries peptide to ER membrane
- translation continues, and signal sequence (pre) is clipped off
- proinsulin stored in granules
- proinsulin granules activated via proteolysis
- Ser proteases break broteins in two separate locations
- produces C peptide and insulin WITHIN vesicles
- when three molecules of insulin come together and form a hexemer with zinc, you have functional insulin
|
|
|
Term
Mechanism of beta cell sensing hyperglycemia |
|
Definition
- GLUT2 picks up increased glucose concentration from the blood
- glucokinase phosphorylates glucose (make G6P)
- runs through glycolysis and other metabolic processes
- this leads to metabolite that stimulates the release of calcium into the cytosol
- promotes movement of vesicles to membrane and to be exocytosed
- insulin released into blood
|
|
|
Term
Mechanism of peripheral cells responding to insulin |
|
Definition
- sensed by receptors in plasma membrane
- insulin bind to alpha receptors, leading to confirmation change in beta subunits of the receptor
- these receptors have Tyr kinase activity, and insulin leads to autophosphorylation of Tyr residues
- leads to series of metabolic events that dephosphorylates proteins
|
|
|
Term
Mechanism of action of glucagon |
|
Definition
- pancreas sense low blood sugar
- bind to plasma receptors in liver and adipose
- works via trimeric G protein
- dissociation of protein into alpha-GTP and beta-gamma
- activates adenyle cyclase
- increases cAMP
- activates PKA (cleave off catalytic subunit)
- phosphorylate various enzymes
|
|
|
Term
Mechanism of action of excess glucose storage |
|
Definition
- glucose go down conc. gradient into liver
- glucose phosphorylated by glucokinase (high concetration of glucose activate GK) form G6P (glucose is trapped)
- ATP will allosterically regulate PFK and PK
- from G6P, undergo glycogenesis to create glycogen
- in conditions of increased size of glycogen, could also be converted to fatty acids
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- glucose polymer
- alpha 1,4 and alpha 1,6 glycosidic bonds
- synthesized bound to glycogenin
- has enzymatic activity (phosphorylate Tyr) and put glucoses onto it (about 8 glucose monomers)
|
|
|
Term
How glucose added to glycogen |
|
Definition
- glycogenin has enzymatic activity (phosphorylate Tyr) and put glucoses onto it (about 8 glucose monomers)
- add glucose to non-reducing ends
|
|
|
Term
Why is glycogen so large? |
|
Definition
it carries water with it due to OH groups |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- G6P converted to G1P via mutase
- G1P uses UTP to converted to UDP-glucose and pyrophosphate via pyrophosphorylase
- UDP-glucose combine with primer (piece of glycogen) to form UDP and glycogen with a glucose on non reducing end via glycogen synthetase
- if the linear chain becomes to long, branching enzyme will move the glucose and make alpha 1,6 links
|
|
|
Term
Mechanism of controlling glycogen synthase |
|
Definition
- via glycogen synthase (phosphorylated via PKA)
- inactive in phosphorylated form
- active in dephosphorylated form
- allosteric modulation- can be activated via binding of G6P in spite of if the enzyme is phosphorylated
|
|
|
Term
Location in body where glycogenesis performed |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Hormones that promote phosphor. of glycogen synthase |
|
Definition
epinepherine
norepinepherine |
|
|
Term
Overview of FA synthesis to create palmitate |
|
Definition
8 acetyl-CoA + 7 ATP + 14 NADPH → palmitate + 8 CoA + 7 ADP/P + 14 NADP |
|
|
Term
Cellular location of fatty acid synthesis |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Process of fatty acid synthesis |
|
Definition
- 7 acetyl CoA, CO2 and ATP form malonyl CoA and ADP via acetyl-CoA carboxylase (coenzyme: biotin)
- rate limiting step
- 7 malonyl CoA, acetyl CoA, and 14 NADPH form palmitate, 14 NADP and 8 CoA via fatty acid synthase
|
|
|
Term
Regulation of acetyl CoA carboxylase |
|
Definition
- inactive in phosphorylated form
- positive allosteric modulator: citrate
|
|
|
Term
Structure of fatty acid synthase |
|
Definition
- dimer made of two identical subunits
- each subunit contains many domains (each domain is an enzyme)
- each chain running in opposite directions head to tail
|
|
|
Term
Mechanism of action of fatty acid synthase |
|
Definition
- acetyl CoA added to KS domain via ACP
- swing to MAT bound acetate added to malonyl group bound to ACP via carboxylation to produce beta keto fatty acyl ACP (C4)
- beta keto fatty acyl ACP swings to KS domain (reductase) where reduced by NADPH
- beta hydroxy fattay acyl CP swing to DH where we remove water producing enoyl ACP
- enoyl-ACP swing to ER domain (reductase) where it is reduced by NADPH the product is C4 fatty acyl CoA
- repeat seven times
- when it reaches C16, complex hydrolyzed by thioesterase domain
