DIgestion of Proteins
Enzyme regualtion
activation by limited proteolysis of dangerous
proenzymescomplete on/off regulation
Proteins
o Continually synthesized and degraded
Degradation = turnover
o Cathepsins: lysosomal proteases
Degrade proteins that enter lysosomes
Cytoplasmic proteins:
o Targeted/ linked to ubiquitin (small protein),
o preparation for destruction
o Ubiquitin-tagged proteins
Interact with the proteasome: a large protein complex
Degrades proteins to small peptides
ATP dependent
Amino acids released during turnover can be used for synthesis of new proteins/energy.
Cystic fibrosis
o Blockage of pancreatic duct
o Need oral ingestion of digestive enzymes
Kwashiorkor
o Protein malnutrition
o Excessive protein degradation
Body maintains relatively large free amino acid pool in the blood
o Even during fasting
o -> tissues have continuous access to individual amino acids
For synthesis of proteins and essential aa derivatives
Such as neurotransmitters
o Provides the liver with amino acid substrates for gluconeogenesis
o Provides other cell types with a source of fuel
o Derived from dietary amino acids and turnover of proteins in the body
During overnight fasting and hypercatabolic states
o Major source of free amino acids:
o degeneration of labile protein, particularly in skeletal muscle
liver = major site of amino acid metabolism
o and major site of urea synthesis
o major site of amino acid degradation
hepatocytes
o partially oxidize amino acids
converting carbon skeleton -> glucose, ketone bodies, or CO2
o ammonia = toxic, liver converts nitrogen from aa degradation to urea
excreted in urine
nitrogen derived from catabolism in other tissues
Protein Structure
Sturucture determines the function
build up of the protein
20 amino acids
nonpolar-neutraldont give much to protein
chargedgive charge to protein
OH groupscan be phosphorylatedsignal molecules
Prolineknick in protein structure

Lots of nrg to make proteins
Properties determined by side chains
peptide chain = amino acids linked through amide-bonds
Protein foldinginstant
big quality control in ERcheck whether its folded correctlyif not try again and degraded
folding occurs in most energetically stable formpolar will go outsidewater environment
hydrophobic will go inside
Alpha helix
it forms a helixlong rod shaped side chains on the outside
find in anchor proteinin membrane
can form pores through which nutrients/ions can pass
hormone receptors
Beta sheet
flatline up next to each othercan be combined in one protein
lysozymealpha helix and beta sheet

Connective Tissue
Proteoglycanattached to laminine
Glycoproteins-almost 95% proteins have glycan
Glycosyltransferaseadds more proteinadded one after the other
Starts in ERblock then trim and addcontinue in Golgi
Vitamin E binds to radical itselfprotect AA from ROS damage
VItamin Ccan bind to radicalsscavengerimportant as cofactor for enzymes that
make collagen
For the collagen molecule to aggregate into its triple-helix config selected proline residues
must be hydroxylatedrequires di-oxygenase enzyme,alph KG, reduced iron, ascorbate
Scurvybleeding gumswoundslacking of vitamin C
low vitamin c =
low collagen
Selenocysteine is

enzyme
glutathione

Breathing
ATPallosteric regulator
Oxydative energy is converted to ATP
Via Acetyl CoA food is converted to CO2 and water
more ATP = faster speed of ATP = more oxygen in mitochondria
amt of oxygen going down = at rest
Need contant supply of oxygen to keep all the matabolic pathway
going
oxygen transport by red blood cell
why so complex? rustcontact btw iron and oxygen will destroy the
property of red blood cell
to keep iron in specific oxidized state prevent from forming iron
oxideto keep iron in its correct form
heme groupbinding oxygenreleasing is difficult

quaternary structureheme group can be in two conformation
T and R by allosteric
binding site is shielded from wateronce O2 is bound it will not
rebind
binding of O2 affects affinity for next O2slow to high affinity
change of conformationby heme group
reverse is true
myoglobinskeletal muscle onlyaffinity is too high to supply oxygen to tissues

capillariessufficient oxygen delivery
Type 2sprint/short distance

reasoneach stroke of muscle fiber takes one ATPin the endspeed is determined by
speed of generating ATPthe rate of ATP can be produced
