Term
why glycogen? (3)

Term
the primary means by which blood sugar is kept in the normal range during and just after a meal is...
Definition
skeletal muscle glycogen synthesis
Term
glucose uptake in liver vs. skeletal muscle
Definition
in both, used for glycogen synthesis; liver - net glucose uptake and TG synthesis, muscle - insulin promotes uptake
Term
during a protein load, what keeps glucose in the normal range?
Definition
glucose released from hepatic glycogen
Term
core primer protein in glycogen
Definition
glycogenin. this catalyzes a 6-10 glucose molecule
Term
2nd purpose for glycogen
Definition
structural scaffold for the enzymes that regulate glycogen metabolism
Term
biochemical structure of glycogen
Definition
helical! alpha 1,4 linkages and 1.6 linkages for branches (beta linkage = flat, tightly packed chains = cellulose)
Term
limit dextrin
Definition
the 4 residues left after you've reduced a straight chain as far as it can go
Term
add iodine to glycogen and you get...
Definition
purple
Term
glycogen metabolism is used for acute storage of glucose in the fed state. glu-6-p usually...
Definition
is used locally, but the liver exports it.
Term
skeletal and cardiac muscle...
Definition
use glycogen as a store for energy used for muscle contraction
Term
regulation of glycogen metabolism
Definition
allosteric by metabolites and calcium. hormonal by camp-mediated hormones and insulin.
Term
primary cause of hyperglycemia in adult onset diabetes is
Definition
impaired skeletal muscle glucose disposal as glycogen
Term
glycogen chains are shortened by ______ which results in release of __________. catalyzed by _____
Definition
phosphorolysis / glucose-1-phosphate / phosphorylase
Term
phosphorylase is specific for
Definition
alpha 1,4 glycosidic bonds
Term
glycogen(n)+Pi>
Definition
glycogen(n-1)+glucose-1-p. reaction is isoenergetic, but there's so much Pi around that the reversibility is irrelevant
Term
reversible phosphorylation
Definition
phosphorylase is regulated (in response to hormones) between active and inactive forms
Term
transferase
Definition
catalyzed by debranching enzyme; moves 3 glucose molecules from one branch to another after phosphorylase does its thing
Term
alpha 1,6-glucosidase
Definition
after transferase, removes 1 glucose. catalyzed by debranching enzyme (which is a bifunctional enzyme). results in a straight non-branched chain
Term
a small amount of glycogen is degraded in ________ by __________. deficiency: _________.
Definition
lysosomes, alpha 1,4-glycosidase = acid maltase, Pompe Disease
Term
Pompe Disease
Definition
Type II Glycogen Storage Disease, fatal neonatal cardiomyopathy. acid maltase deficiency
Term
rate-limiting enzyme for glycogenesis / substrate
Definition
glycogen synthase / nucleotide-activated glucose
Term
UTP+Glc>
Definition
UDP-GlC
Term
T/F: nucleotide activation releases energy
Definition
false - it requires energy
Term
non-rate-limiting enzymes involved in glycogen synthesis (2)
Definition
UTP-G1P transferase, brancher enzyme
Term
5 principles of regulation of glycogen metabolism
Definition
1. tissue specificity, 2. amplification of hormone signal, 3. organization into the functional unit of the glycogen particle, 4. multiple control points, 5. reciprocal regulation of synthase and phosphorylase
Term
liver vs. muscle - regulation of glucose trasnport
Definition
l - [glucose], m - [insulin]
Term
liver vs. muscle - fate of glucose derived from glycogen
Definition
l - export, m - local
Term
liver vs. muscle - stimulus for glycogenolysis
Definition
l - cAMP, m - calcium
Term
hormonal regulation of glycogen metabolism (5) (draw diagram too)
Definition
phosphorylase is active when phosphorylated, synthase is inactive when phosphorylated, both are substrates for phosphorylase kinase which is active when phosphorylated, all three are substrates for type 1 protein phosphatase (PP-1) which is a major mediator of insulin action, and phosphorylase is NOT a substrate for PK-A (cAMP dependent protein kinase)
Term
regulation of glycogen synthase
Definition
9 phosphorylation sites which are substrates for at least 7 kinases. critical sites are 3a-c and 4, which are substrates for gsk-3. phosphorylation influences substrate binding. also influences effector binding - sensitivity to stimulation by g1p. liver synthase DOES NOT have a camp-dependent kinase site, which is weird because camp is central to liver glycogen regulation.
Term
image of glycogen particles in a cell
Definition
glycogen = little black dots
Term
flash activation
Definition
atp+calcium=activation of phosphorylase kinase and phosphorylase in skeletal muscle. once available ATP is used up, activity returns to baseline, indicating presence of functional PP-1. ALL of the regulated enzymes are phosphorylated.
Term
allosteric effects on hepatic phosphorylase, the "glucose receptor in liver". how do these affect it- glycogen, glucose, AMP, ATP, glu6p, udp-glucose, ser14p.
Definition
activation: glycogen, AMP, ser14p (hormonally). inactivation: glucose. inhibition: ATP, g6p, udp-glucose.
Term
type I glycogen storage disease: symptoms, treatment, mechanism
Definition
hepatomegaly (fatty liver), metabolic acidosis, low blood sugar, high blood lactate, lipemic serum, fat lobules on skin. treatment: IV dextrose (acute) and raw corn starch (chronic). g6phosphatase deficiency (like normal muscle!) = HMP shunt makes a lot more fatty acids, activated by nadp.
Term
oxidative reactions in 5p pathway for... (4)
Definition
production of NADPH for FA synthesis, steroid synthesis, co-factor for antioxidants.
Term

Definition
production of ribose 5p for nucleotide synthesis, metabolism of diet-derived 5c sugars
Term
location of 5p pathway
Definition
cytosol of all cells
Term
5p pathway: what does in, what comes out
Definition
in: g6p, out: nadph, ribose 5p. (g6p refers to alternative name: hexose monophosphate shunt)
Term
regulation of 5p pathway
Definition
rate-limiting enzyme:g6p dehydrogenase (G6PD). allosteric activation by nadp and inactivation by nadph.
Term
g6pd deficiency
Definition
the most common enzyme deficiency in the world. causes hemolytic anemia because of impaired free radical detoxification in erythrocytes. hemolytic crises occur upon exposure to oxidants: infection, fava beans, oxidant drugs AAA (antibiotics, antipyretics, antimalarials)
