what are the amino acids required for the golgi apparatus? (3)
serine, threonine, and asparagine
Explain the regulation of G1-->S in the cell cycle. make sure to mention the cyclins and CDKs
cyclin D binds/activates CDK4 --> phosphorylation of Rb protein --> Rb protein is released from transcription factor E2F --> with E2F unbound, the cell is free to transcribe/synthesize components needed for progression through S phase

Cyclin E binds/activate CDK2 --> the cell is allowed to progress into the S phase
what protein is involved in transporting an endocytosed vesicle from the plasma membrane to the endosome?
clathrin
what molecule targets proteins in the ER for lysosomes?
mannose-6-phosphate
how do ciliated cells coordinate their actions?
gap junctions
what drugs act on microtubules?
griseofulvin (antifungal)
mebendazole/thiabendazole (antihelminthic)
vincristine/vinblastine (anti-cancer)
paclitaxel (anti-breast CA)
colchicine (anti-gout)
which immunodeficiency is a defect in microtubule polymerization. what does it result in?
chediak-higashi syndrome

results in decreased phagocytosis (recurrent pyogenic infxns, partial albinism, peripheral neuropathy)
what specific component of hte cell membrane phospholipid bilayer is especially important in generating products of arachidonic acid?
phosphatidylinositol
what enzyme is inhibited by zileuton?
lipoxygenase (inhibits the formation of leukotrienes)
what do leukotrienes do?
neutrophil chemotaxis (LTB4) and bronchoconstriction (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4)
what inhibits leukotrienes at the receptor level?
zafirlukast, montelukast
draw out the arachidonic acid pathway
check in workbook bioc p. 3
RAS activating protein is only activated by _____ receptors
tyrosine kinase
ehler danlos is caused by faulty _______ synthesis
collagen (type 3, to be exact)
osteogenesis imperfecta is defect of ______ collagen.
type 1 collagen; bone MATRIX FORMATION is impaired in these pts
what is the most abundant AA in collagen molecule?
glycine

collagen alpha chains (aka. preprocollagen) usually consists of Gly-X-Y polypeptide (X and Y being proline, hydroxyproline, and hydroxylysine)
what are the big picture steps in collagen synthesis? (four steps inside fibroblasts and 2 steps outside)
inside fibroblasts:
1. synthesis of collagen alpha chains (preprocollagen) in the RER
2. hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues (requires vit C)
3. glycoslyation of pro-alpha chain lysine residues --> forming procollagen (which is a triple helix of 3 collagen alpha chains)
4. exocytosis of procollagen into extracellular space

outside fibroblasts:
5. proteolytic processing by cleaving terminal regions, transforming it into insoluble tropocollagen
6. cross-linking lysine-hydroxylysine together to make collagen fibrils
when it comes to apoptosis, the intrinsic pathway is caused by changes in teh levels of anti- and pro-apoptotic factors lead to increased mitochondrial permeability and release of _______.
cytochrome c
_______ executes apoptosis
caspases
Bcl-2 and Bcl-x prevent/lead to apoptosis.
prevent
What are Bak, Bax, and Bim?
pro-apoptotic factors
what does cytochrome C do?
binds cytosolic Apaf-1 (apotosis activating factor-1) --> this complex activates caspase-9
how does the extrinsic pathway work?
occurs w/ ligand-receptor intererations (eg. Fas ligand binding to Fas (CD 95)) or Killer t cell releasing perforin and granzyme B -- both lead to activation of caspase that mediate cellular breakdown
name the necrosis type a/w:

1) coagulative necrosis
2) liquefactive
3) fat
4) fibrinoid
1) heart,liver, kidney
2) brain
3) pancreas
4) blood vessels (eg. vasculitis)
what two vitamins should you supplement to aid in wound healing?
vitamin c (for proper collagen synthesis)

zinc (for metalloproteinases that are enzymes involved in remodeling of ECM)
which arachidonic acid product causes the following effect?

increased bronchial tone
leukotriene
which arachidonic acid product causes the following effect?

decreased bronchial tone

thromboxane
which arachidonic acid product causes the following effect?

decreased platelet aggregation
PGI2
which arachidonic acid product causes the following effect?

increased uterine tone
PGE2
which arachidonic acid product causes the following effect?
