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.

Oxoprolinase deficiency and oxoprolinemia-oxoprolinuria

Rare


Anemia mental ret


Oxoprolinemia and oxoprolinuria metabolic acidosis


So 5oxoproline is not used to make glutamate and increases in conc.

Glud1 is high capacity and irreversible? While other is reversible. Glud1 is main gate removing N and opens in low energy so deg muscle proteins. 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 okay but too many protein leucine overrides gtp affect and fat stored

Transdeamination general scheme

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

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
