Definition

mainly tracylglycerols

phospholipids

cholesterol

Term
What causes serum to be cloudy?
Definition
fat within chylomicrons
Term
What separates HDL from LDL as far as composition goes?
Definition
HDL's have substantially more proteins within them and substantially less triacylglycerol content.
Term
Why does the phospholipid content stay farily consistent regardless of HDL, LDL, VLDL?
Definition
they form the coat that surrounds the other lipids while having their phosphates exposed to outside
Term
HDL (major core lipids, apoproteins, mech of delivery)
Definition
  • core lipids- endogenous CE

Term
Describe relative size of lipoprotein classes
Definition
VLDL larger than IDL, which is larger than LDL, which is larger than HDL
Term
Function, origin of C2, C3
Definition
  • origin- liver
  • lipprotein- CM, VLDL, HDL
  • function
    • C2- activate lipoprotein lipase
    • C3- inactivate lipoprotein lipase
Term
Role of pancreatic lipases
Definition
  • cleaves off Fatty acid chains that act as soaps
  • end with mix of triacylglycerides, fatty esters, monoacylglycerides
Term
Role of intestines in chylomicron delivery
Definition
in brush border, fatty acids combine with glycerol to form new triacylglycerols with aggregate with lipoproteins to form chylomicrons
Term
Cellular location of formation of chylomicrons
Definition
smooth ER of small intestines enterocyte
Term
Why does intestines have apoB48 and not apoB100
Definition
  • intestines has cytosine deaminase that convert C to U
  • this causes CAA to go to UAA (STOP codon)
  • causes functional change so it can deliver fat to cells
    • liver uses apopB100 to make membrane building material (lipid traffficking of building material)
Term
Importance of Lys residues on apoB100
Definition
  • binds to Asp residues on VLDL/LDL receptors
  • if you eliminate Lys, it cant bind with receptors
Term
Process of chylomicron metabolism
Definition
  1. dietary fats diffuse into intestinal epithelium
  2. form chylomicron
  3. go into lymphatic system
  4. begin talking with HDL allowing them to pick up specific apoproteins
  5. bind to lipoprotein lipase in adipose and muscle cells
  6. they will begin to unload TAG, free FA's
  7. chylomicron remnants start talkin with HDL and pick up apoC
  8. apoE left on remnant causes it to dock on liver
  9. uses remnants to make AA's
    1. left over TAG's, cholesterol will synthesize bile salt from it
Term
Process of VLDL metabolism
Definition
  1. undergo FA synthesis
  2. makes nascent VLDL (make pick up some apoproteins in its normal pathway)
  3. HDL passes off apoprotein B100, A, C, E to VLDL
  4. makes mature VLDL
  5. bind to lipoprotein lipases on membranes of muscle cells and adipose and offloads fatty acids
  6. left with VLDL remenant called IDL
  7. IDL will crosstalk with HDL
    1. if HDL very effcient, apoB100 cant be pulled off, leads to stripping off all apoproteins, making LDL
    2. another option is to be reprocessed in the liver surface to form LDL

 

Term
Show how lipoprotein lipase interact with lipoproteins
Definition
  1. lipoprotein lipase bind with Lys residues to membrane bound anchor protein
  2. chylomicron and VLDL (apoC- activate lipase) bind to LPL
  3. leads to offloading of many free FA's as possible and going off of glycerol

This is all at the membrane of adipose and muscle cell.

Term
Fate of FA's in muscle cell
Definition
  1. FA's and CoA make fatty acyl CoA
  2. via transferases with carnitine, reproduce fatty acyl CoA in the matrix
  3. undergo beta oxidation
Term
Fate of FA's in adipose cell
Definition
  1. FA's are converted to fatty acyl CoA
  2. underg TAG synthesis
  3. lead to TAG storage
    1. on surface of storage vesicle is perillipin

 

Term
Effect of glucagon on TG storage
Definition
  1. acts on receptor via G protein-cAMP second messanger system
  2. PKA phosphorylate hormone sensitive lipase and opens up membrane of storage vesicle by binding to perillipin
  3. lipase goes into storage vesicle and breaks down TG to form glycerol and FA's
Term
Mechanism of bringing LDL into the cell
Definition
endocytosis in clatherin coated pit (has a lot of LDL receptors embedded in membrane)
Term
Fate of LDL in liver
Definition
  1. LDL binds to LDL receptors (IDL could bind as well due to its apoB100)
  2. forms endosome
  3. esterfy LDL and decrease pH (use pump), leading to its separation from its receptor
    1. one endosome w/receptor goes back to membrane
    2. another endosome with LDL fuses with lysosome will be broken down via degradative enzymes
      1. release phospholipids
      2. convert cholesterol esters back to cholesterol and FA;s
      3. degrade apoB100 to AA's that can be recycled in cell protein population
Term
Composition of LDL receptors
Definition
  • seven 40 AA repeats that are Asp rich (can bind with Lys rich domain on LDL)
    • if I added positive charges, LDL will dissociate
  • Cys S-S Cys links
  • 4 AA adaptin binding domain (adaptin clatherin endocytosis)

 

Term
Role of adaptin protein in clatherin dependent endocytosis of LDL
Definition
  • clatherin bind to LDL receptor
  • anchoring and concentrating the LDL receptors in one particular region
  • once LDL bound in, we remove clatherin and adaptin to reassemble complex that forms pit
Term
process of forming the chylomicrons after a meal
Definition
  1. via pancreatic lipase, we form a collection of DAG, MAG, TAG, glycerol, free FA, and cholesterol
  2. these combine with bile salts to form micelles
  3. micelles offload contents into the enterocyte
  4. free FA and glycerol combine to reform TAG
  5. as TAG concentration increases in cell, aggregate with apoprotein B48 to form the nascent chylomicron in smooth ER
  6. ApoB48 brings TAG's into nascent chylomicron
  7. nascent chylomicron goes into central lacteal aka lymphatic system
  8. HDL delivers apoproteins C and E to nascent chylomicron to form mature chylomicron
