What is 1st step?
hexokinase
fructose --> F6P (direct glycolytic intermediate)
Diff between liver vs. muscle fruct metabl?
predominance of glucokinase in liver which is gluc specific so diff enz needed vs. hexokinase in muscle which can phosph. fruct.

fructokinase
1st: fru --> F1P (commited step)
F1P aldolase

2. Hydrolysed by alcohol dehydrogenase
percent of lactose in cow's milk?
4-5%
What type of bond in lactose?
β-1,4 glycosidic bond
Since lactose is a heiacetal, what reaction can it undergo? What does this make it?
Mutorotation
Reducing sugar
Which enz and product phosphorylase galactose?
Galactokinase
G1P
Type of enzyme epimerizes UDP-glalactose to UDP-glucose?
What other products after that?
isomerase
Gal1P --> G1P --> G6P --> glycolysis(tissues) or glucose in liver
Which enzymes involved in Classic galactosemia and
non-classic galactosemia?
Classic galactosemia: galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase.non-classic: galactokinase.
Whic 2 types of molecule require UDP-Galactose?
Glycoproteins
Glycolipids
Where does lactose synthesis take place? Which enzyme, made of what?
only in mammary glands
ER enz: called lactase synthetase made of glalactosyltransferease + α-lactalbumin
Which hormonal signal stimulates lactose synthesis?
Describe what happens:
Prolactin following partution
lowers Km of α-lactalbumin from 1200 to 1 mM.
What other role will galactotransferase take in the absebce of α-lactalbumin?
Function in the glycoprotein pathway
What 2 substate are needed for lactose synthesis?
UDP-glalactose
GLucose
Which enz. and type of glycosydic bond link can be hydrolysed in month?
α-amylase
INTERNAL α-1,4 glycosidic bonds randomly hydrolyzed
Where does complex CHO hydrolysis continue? what does it produce?
Small intestine: mix of disaccharide, trisaccharide, and sl oligosaccharides called limit dextrins, containing (1,6) branches
Final hydrolysis of alpha(1,6)bond are done by which type of enzyme?
glycosidases
2 ways to classify glycosidases?
1. By what part of polysacch. they cut:
endoglycosidase (middle)
exo... (end)
2. if change alpha to beta (inverting) vs. not (returning)
Where do you primarely find (1)glycolipids, (2)glycoprotein, (3)proteoglycans?
1.exoplasmic cell membrane
2. blood and cell membrane 3.ECM
Where do 1.synthesis and 2.degradation of glycoconjugates occur?
1. endoplasmic reticulum and golgi.
2.lysosome
Generalized Glycosyltransferase Reaction?
Nucleotide-Sugar + HO-Acceptor --> Sugar-O-Acceptor
enz. glycotransferase
Define proteoglycans, decriscribing main componants:
GAG-GalGalXyl-O-CH2-protein
GAG:glycoaminoglycan (repeating dissach units GalNAc or GlcNAc + uronic acid (glucuronic or iduronic))
trissacharide (gal/gla/xyl)
O-glycosidic bond to S residue of core protein
Why are proteoglycans possess lg neg charge?
Advantage?
1. residues are frequently sulfated
2. highly hydrated --> take large space in ECM (good as lubricant and molecule stucture
Proteoglycans are componant of what? Name 4
ECM
joint fluid,
humor of the eye,
arterial walls
bone and cartilage
What are glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)?
long unbranched polysacc of repeating disacc(contain either of 2 modif. sugars (N-GalNAc or N-GlcNAc, and uronic acid (glucuronate or iduronate)
