Ubiquitin binds to proteins through formation of an __________ bond with _______ residues
Lysine
Cellular proteins are ______ and _____ by the proteasome
degraded
- Pepsin: active enzyme
- Non-specific cleavage of protein
- Synthesized and released into stomach
- Activated by low pH
stomach
pancreas
make more trypsin
Oligo-peptides
Released as inactive zymogens
Cleave proteins at specific residues
on luminal surface
2.Remaining carbon skeletons are used:
- Energy: Glucose, Acetyl CoA, TCA intermediates
- Anabolic Reactions
2.used for synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds (i.e. other AA’s or nucleic acids)
2.•Oxidative Deamination to remove the amino group as ammonium ion.
alanine amino transferase
*these rxns go in reverse also
Alanine + a-ketoglutarate D Pyruvate + Glutamate
7 Carbon skeleton metabolites.
Can be used in these ways-to generate energy:
-Glucose (some)
-Acetyl CoA (some)
-TCA Cycle (some)
Pyruvate
Acetyl CoA
Acetoacetyl CoA
a-Ketoglutarate
Succinyl Co A
Fumarate
Oxaloacetate
Aminotransferases
Require the Prosthetic group:• acts as an electron sink - an electrophilic catalyst
Prior to amino acid binding:__makes protonated Shiff-base with PLP aldehyde thus____
- Acts as a place-holder for incoming amino acid
b)The amino group is hydrolyzed to yield a free ammonium ion and a-ketoglutarate.
Glutamate dehydrogenase is found where?
OR
NADP--> NADPH
Glutamate dehydrogenase
Glutamate dehydrogenase
or
GDP
Serine---serine dehydrogenase--->
a-Ketobutyrate + NH4+
Leu
Val
(sometimes glutamine)
Ammonium excreted (through the kidneys in most cases) as urea by most land animals.
- Exceptions=–1 N from aspartate
–C from bicarbonate
Get rid of the NH4+ safely as urea
Salvage the Carbon skeleton metabolites for use as fuel or building blocks
cytosol
a) Activation of Bicarbonate with ATP, to form Carboxyphosphate
b) Condensation of Carboxyphosphate with Ammonia
c) Activation of carbamic acid with ATP to form Carbamoyl Phosphate
*ATP is needed along with the release of PP
___________ is Transported from Cytosol To MT to Join the Urea Cycle
2.Condensation with Acetyl CoA to make Citrate > energy (TCA cycle) 3.Gluconeogenesis > energy export
4.Conversion to pyruvate then to acetyl Co A for FA synthesis
