Cards

Term
FA degredation
Definition
is mitochondrial
Degradation intermediates carried by CoA
Term
acyl carrier protein
Definition
FA synthesis is cytosolic
Synthetic intermediates carried by
Term
isocitrate dehydrogenase
Definition
When ATP is plentiful (fed state) in the mitochondria, it inhibits _____ ______ (TCA) and citrate accumulates.
This promotes the translocation of citrate
Term
acetyl coA carboxylase;biotin
Definition
Step 2 Synthesis of Malonyl CoA
What is the enzyme and coenzyme
Rate limiting step in FA synthesis
Exists as inactive dimers.
Citrate binds allosterically causing ACC to polymerize, activating it.
Term
long LCFA CoA
Definition
deactivates ACC, causing it to depolymerize.
Term
AMP dependent protein kinase (AMPK)
Definition
deactivates ACC by phosphorylation
Term
glucagon and epinephrine
Definition
activate phosphoylating kinases which can also phosphorylate ACC, deactivating it in the fasting state.
Term
insulin
Definition
activates protein phosphatases which can dephosphorylate ACC and activate it in the fed state.
Term
fatty acid synthase
Definition
may be an oncogene. It is up regulated in some breast and prostate cancers with poor prognosis.
Consists of a dimeric protein with seven different catalytic domains.
A cysteine residue which acts as a "parking" site for intermediates
Acyl Carrier Protein (ACP) site very similar to CoA
Term
ACP subunit
Definition
functions as a "swinging arm" to deliver the intermediates to the correct domain on the FA synthase
Term
malic enzyme
Definition
Malate is oxidized and decarboxylated to pyruvate by ____ ____ which is NADP+ dependent. Makes NADPH
Term
low insulin
Definition
when can you not synthesize tags
Term
liver
Definition
can synthesize, but not store TAG's
Term
Hormone sensitive lipase
Definition
removes FA from C1 and C3 of TAG
Term
cAMP pathway
Definition
pathway activates protein kinase which phosphorylates HSL, activating it.
Term
HSL
Definition
Insulin and high glucose levels inhibit
Term
plasma albumin
Definition
The free fatty acids leave the adipocyte and bind to ____ ____ for transport
Term
fatty acyl CoA synthetase
Definition
LCFA is converted to its CoA derivative by ? which is located in the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Term
Carnitine palmitoyl transferase I (CPT-I, CAT-I)
Definition
in the outer mitochondrial membrane attaches the LCFA to carnitine, releasing CoA
Term
Malonyl CoA
Definition
inhibits CAT-I so that when FA synthesis is in progress, the product cannot be transported for oxidation.
Term
Cat 1 deficiency
Definition
this deficiency affects primarily liver – fasting hypoglycemia
Term
CAT-II
Definition
this deficiency affects skeletal and cardiac muscle – muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy
Term
acyl CoA dehydrogenase
Definition
β-carbon of the acyl group is oxidized by ___ ___ ____FADH2 is produced which yields 2 ATP in electron transport
Term
3-L-Hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase
Definition
converts OH to a keto group producing NADH which gives 3 ATP in ETC
Term
thiolase
Definition
cleaves the terminal acetyl CoA. The acetyl CoA can enter the TCA and produce a further 12 ATP
Term
B12
Definition
deficiency leads to urinary excretion of propionate and methylmalonate
Term
mutase enzyme
Definition
Methylmalonic acidemia and aciduria can also be caused by deficiency of the
Term
NADPH-dependent 2,4 dienoyl CoA reductase
Definition
Oxidation of unsaturated FA's
requires 3,2-enoyl CoA isomerase which moves a 3-cis double bond to a 2-trans one.
Additionally, if there is a 4-cis double bond (as in polyunsaturates), it prevents the hydration reaction at the β carbon so this is needed
Term
Zellweger Syndrome
Definition
Failure to target VLCFA's to the peroxisome or peroxisome insufficiency results in this condition. Hepatomrgaly, high iron and copper in blood, viual distrbance, lack of muscle tone, glaucoma
No cure, poor prognosis, death by ~ 6 months
Term
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy
Definition
Failure to transport VLCFA into the peroxisome results in this condition
Symptoms: Seizures, ataxia by age 4-10
Cerebral or spinal neuro degeneration
Poor prognosis, death 1-10 yrs from presentation
Bone marrow transplantation
Lorenzo’s oil, thalidomide
Term
Refsum's disease
Definition
this disease is a deficiency of α-hydroxylase leads to accumulation of phytanic acid and neurological symptoms
Term
ketone bodies in DM
Definition
High FA degradation increases Acetyl CoA
Depletes NAD+
Raises NADH
Forces Acetyl CoA into ketone production
Acetone on breath
Excretion of ketone bodies in urine depletes serum volume – polyuria
Ketoacidosis
