The β-oxidation of odd-numbered FAs presents a small problem in that once most of the oxidation has occurred, the last component is propionyl-CoA rather than acetyl CoA. This has one more carbon and as such cannot be utilized any further. Outline the events that control the metabolism of this unit in their proper order: 1) Methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase converts S-methylmalonyl-CoA to R-methylmalonyl-CoA. 2) Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase demethylates R-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. 3) Propionyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the addition of CO2 to propionyl-CoA. 4) The odd-carbon FA is metabolized to propionyl-CoA.

Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase catalyzes the synthesis of a cis α,β-unsaturated CoA thioester.

What kinds of experiments could test your proposed explanation? Addition of radiolabeled PS to an enzyme system would not label PE, because phosphatidylserine decarboxylase would act only on PS generated by phosphatidylserine synthase. Inhibition of phosphatidylserine decarboxylase leads to an accumulation of PS generated by phosphatidylserine synthase. Inhibition of phosphatidylserine synthase and further addition of radiolabeled PS to an enzyme system leads to formation of labeled PE. Doubling the amount of phosphatidylserine synthase in this system leads to doubling of PE production.

One pathway that appears to relate elevated cholesterol levels to atherosclerosis involves the oxidation of LDL. Which of the following are consequences of this process? Oxidized LDL products induce an immune response that includes recruitment of monocytes and T lymphocytes. Though the mechanism by which this occurs is not completely understood, this oxidation includes the peroxidation of fatty acids, the hydroxylation of cholesterol, and the oxidation of amino acids. The presence of scavenger receptors on macrophages allows unlimited cholesterol uptake, leading to its conversion to foam cells. All of the listed responses are consequences of this process.

Explain why a deficiency of steroid 21-hydroxylase leads to excessive production of sex steroids (androgens and estrogens). By shutting down the pathway leading to aldosterone, this deficiency increases the supply of dehydroepiandrosterone that converted directly to sex steroids. 21-hydroxylase competes with 17α-hydroxylase, so deficiency of 21-hydroxylase leads to increasing 17α-hydroxylase activity and to excessive production of sex steroids. 21-hydroxylase competes with 17,20-lyase, so deficiency of 21-hydroxylase leads to increasing 17,20-lyase activity and to excessive production of sex steroids. By shutting down the pathway leading to aldosterone, this deficiency increases the supply of progesterone available for conversion to sex steroids.

By shutting down the pathway leading to aldosterone, this deficiency increases the supply of progesterone available for conversion to sex steroids.

Cells from FH individuals exhibited high levels of reductase activity, regardless of the presence or absence of LDL in the culture medium. Cells from FH individuals were deficient in their ability to take up cholesterol from the culture medium. Cells from FH individuals were activated by the LDL in the culture medium; after activation, the LDL served no other role by being present in the culture medium. Cholesterol did not take part in any processes of cells from FH individuals.

________ is taken up by cells using receptor-mediated endocytosis, which involves the recognition of the B-100 apolipoprotein component of LDL.

Cholesterol

When cultured in the presence of LDL, normal cells showed low activity of HMG−CoA reductase. After removal of lipopoteins, including LDL, HMG−CoA reductase activities increased some 50- to 100-fold in normal cells (panel a). This high level of enzyme activity was rapidly suppressed upon addition of LDL back to normal cells (panel b). Cholesterol blocks the pores in the membrane of the cell, so no components necessary for the action of HMG−CoA reductase can enter into the cell, thus its the activity is reduced. Cholesterol is normally transported into the cell, where it deplaces water, which in turn dries HMG−CoA reductase, and without water its activity is very low. Cholesterol is normally transported into the cell, where it regulates its own synthesis by suppressing the activity of HMG−CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme.

Glucagon secretion causes inhibition of intracellular acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity by several mechanisms. Name all you can think of. Glucagon promotes triacylglycerol breakdown, yielding increased levels of fatty acids, which could prevent polymerization and activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Glucagon stops glycolysis yielding decrease in ATP production, hence carbonyl-phosphate formation is lowered and this prevents carboxylation of the enzyme. Glucagon decreases the activity of biotin carboxylase, reducing the N-carboxybiotinyl-enzyme formation. Glucagon increases the activity of citrate synthase which consumes acetyl-CoA in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. As a result, the substrate level is reduced and the enzyme activity is decreased. Glucagon activates phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase, which inhibits the formation of acetyl-CoA, the substrate for the enzyme.

Glucagon promotes triacylglycerol breakdown, yielding increased levels of fatty acids, which could prevent polymerization and activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Glucagon promotes triacylglycerol breakdown, yielding increased levels of fatty acids, which could prevent polymerization and activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

Which of the following statements about the lipoproteins given in the introduction are true? Lipoprotein densities vary because lipoproteins have different lipid-to-protein ratios. HDL has a high lipid-to-protein ratio. Lipoprotein densities increase in the following order: chylomicrons, VLDLs, LDLs, HDLs, IDLs. Chylomicrons are the only lipoproteins that exclusively carry dietary lipids. Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins. Lipoproteins can be distinguished by their densities and composition. HDL is termed "bad" cholesterol because it can deposit excess cholesterol in the arteries.

Identify and briefly discuss each mechanism ensuring against simultaneous fatty acid synthesis and oxidation in the same cell. Malonyl-CoA, a key intermediate in fatty acid synthesis, inhibits carnitine acyltransferase I, thereby blocking the entry of fatty acyl units into the mitochondrion for oxidation. Fatty acyl-CoAs, the substrates for fatty acid oxidation, inhibit fatty acid synthesis by interfering with the polymerization of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Hormonal effects on adipocytes: insulin promotes fatty acid synthesis by several mechanisms, while glucagon promotes fat breakdown and fatty acid oxidation. AMP-activated protein kinase switches off fatty acid synthesis by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase, whereas acetyl-CoA carboxylase is essential for fatty acid degradation. Citrate is an inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis, acting as an allosteric activator of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Also it carries the acetyl units, which are important intermediates for oxidation of fatty acids, from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm. Pyruvate, the source of acetyl-CoA for fatty acid synthesis, can be converted into oxaloacetate which consumes acetyl-CoA, competing with AMP-dependent protein kinase during fatty acids oxidation.

Net yield = 20.5 ATPs

Because PS must be present in the membrane to serve as an intermediate, how might you explain its failure to accumulate to a significant extent? Under sertain conditions PS could never accumulate, because, once formed by phosphatidylserine synthase, it would immediately be converted to PE by phosphatidylserine decarboxylase. The biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine from CDP-diacylglycerol and serine occurs at the two active sites of a single enzyme. PS could never be accumulated, because this process is not sterically restricted. PS is a very unstable intermediate. It could never be accumulated, because it would spontaneously decompose back to serine and CDP-diacylglycerol. PS is a very unstable intermediate. It could never be accumulated, because it would undergo spontaneous decarboxylation to PE.

PS is a very unstable intermediate. It could never be accumulated, because it would undergo spontaneous decarboxylation to PE.

Propionyl−CoA⟶methylmalonyl−CoA⟶succinyl−CoA⟶oxaloacetate⟶PEP⟶glucose

Explain these observations. This reaction requires two acyl-ACP units that cannot be produced by one separated subunit. The acyl-ACP produced by one subunit undergoes the next round of reductive two-carbon addition on the other subunit. The produced D-3-hydroxyacyl-ACP is oxidized by oxygen from the air making the overall synthesis of palmitate impossible. To stabilize the subunits in vitro we should use the double amount of NADPH which completely supresses the reduction of β-ketoacyl-ACP.

The acyl-ACP produced by one subunit undergoes the next round of reductive two-carbon addition on the other subunit.

Which of the following statements is FALSE? The cholesterol ester content of HDL is generally less than that of chylomicrons. VLDL transports triacylglycerol synthesized in the liver to peripheral tissues. Some fatty acids become complexed with serum albumin for transport in the blood to peripheral cells. Chylomicrons are lipoproteins that transport dietary fat from intestine to peripheral tissues. LDL is the main form in which cholesterol is transported to tissues.

Discuss the metabolic rationale for phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). This could be a way for a cell to activate fatty acid synthesis in the case of acetyl-CoA deficiency. This could be a way for a cell to control fatty acid synthesis in the case of glucose high level in cytosol. This could be a way for a cell to inhibit fatty acid synthesis under conditions where substrates are needed for oxidation. This could be a way for a cell to avoid the excess of ATP production during the fatty acid oxidation.

This could be a way for a cell to inhibit fatty acid synthesis under conditions where substrates are needed for oxidation.

Explain your answer. 3,4-Dihydroxybutyl-1-phosphonic acid consumes all fatty acyl-CoA during the acylation process. The further esterification is impossible without the substrate. 3,4-Dihydroxybutyl-1-phosphonic acid binds to glycerol-3-phosphate causing the whole process to stop. 3,4-Dihydroxybutyl-1-phosphonic acid competes with glycerol-3-phosphate when it binds to glycerophosphate acyltransferase. This process completely suppresses the further acylation. This is a nonhydrolyzable analog of glycerol-3-phosphate, so it is acylated without difficulty to give the phosphonate analog of diacylglycerol.

This is a nonhydrolyzable analog of glycerol-3-phosphate, so it is acylated without difficulty to give the phosphonate analog of diacylglycerol.
