Gamma glutamyl cycle |
Active at intensive transport sites (renal and intestinal brush) mainly cys gln It is de novo peptide synth
Aa goes to gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (memb bound) + gluthatione to give gamma glutamyl aa (to gamma coo) and cys-gly
and Former goes thru gammaglutamyl cyclotransferase to give Original AA and 5-Oxoproline(pyroglutamate) that goes thru oxoprolinase using atp to givr glutamate 5-Oxoproline(pyroglutamate) that goes thru oxoprolinase using atp to givr glutamate
Cys-gly breaks into cys and gly with former reacting with glutamate made via gamma glutamylcysteine synthase and using ATP go give gamma glutamylcysteine
That reacts with glycine made earlier via gluthathio synthase to give gluthathione Note that Glutathione forms a gamma glutamyl enz complex and that glutathione inhibits gamma glutamylcysteine synthase |
|
Gamma glutamyl cycle prob: gluthathione synthase deficiency |
Gluthathione synthase deficience: oxoprolin-, aminoaciduria, hemolytic anemia and mental retardation. Acidosis due to oxorpolinemia ...gammaglutamylcysteine, 5oxoproline and gamma glutamylcystein increase but gluthathione decreases so no inhibition of gamma glutamylcystein syntethase
Gamma glutamylcysteine is a product of gamma glutamyl cyclotransferase thats ahy oxoprol increases
|
|
Gamma glutamyl cysrein synthase def |
Aminoaciduria hemolyic anemja but no acidosis as no oxoprolinemia and mental retardation Everything is reduced including transported aa and maybe oxoprol,gly and cys. |
|

Rare Anemia mental ret Oxoprolinemia and oxoprolinuria metabolic acidosis So 5oxoproline is not used to make glutamate and increases in conc. Inherited: gluthathione synthase def and oxoprolinase def Aquired: chronic acetaminophen as its metabolite conjugates and depletes gluthathione |

Glyoxyalase, cis ttans isomer isomerization by maleylscetoacetate isomerase 4.aa trans DIAGNOSTIC: gamma GT increases in liver could mean obstructive jaundice and its levels is a marker for alcohol induced liver disease and cirrhosis |

ADP HIGHIf energy high (GTP not atp cuz more specific) protein is reservedIf energy okay but too many protein leucine overrides gtp affect and fat stored If energy high (GTP not atp cuz more specific) protein is reserved If energy okay but too many protein leucine overrides gtp affect and fat stored |

|
Gdh1 mutations |
Loss of Func mut: neurodeg disorders Gain of func mut: hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (hi/ha) synd: 1.mutant enz show reduced sensitivity towards GTP inhb but can be act by ADp so increased aKG and NH3 2.increased aKG stimulates TCA and oxphos so insulin and hypoglycemia 3.GDH overact depletes Glu, less N-Ac-Glu and prevent urea cycle initiation |
|
Structure of GDH |
Its glud1 Homohexameric GTP closes it and prevent the product from leaving Movement is via a pivot helix and this js what diseases inhibit |
|
Glud1 act and effect of (BCAAs) leu |
Leu into panc and musc via lat1 Panc: leu stims glud1 and glu to aKG(goes to tca) using NADP+ to give NADP and NH4+. Atp from tca inhibits potassium channel so no K+ in so memb depols Brings Ca thru Ca channel and insulin gran to exo insulin to insR at musc Irs stims akt stims mTORC1 (leu stims too as kinase as leu is a goos sensor for aa pool) so we need to make proteins and inhibits 4EBP1 |
|
Oxidases and nonoxid deamination |
D-amino: a: FAD. High act on glycine and damino substrates L: fmn low act and role in lys deg Nonoxid deamin: Beta elimination via dehydr(ser thr) or desulfhydr(cys) with PLP Ser to imino (loss of water) to pyruvate (gain if water but loss of ammonium) Ammonia lyase: his to urokanate(loss of ammonium). Common in lower org and we introduce a double bond (happens on skin) as urokanate is uv abs and protects uv and uv light mediated immune supression. BUT IF DEFICIENT I THINK WE DO AS DEAMINASE Lys and thr no transaminases These are peroxosomal reactions so no energy Dehyd or desulf gives us an oxid comp that has same fate as imino |
