Question
Chapter 24, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The lipid synthetic pathways that would be affected by abnormally low levels of CTP should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Cytidine triphosphate abbreviated as CTP is a pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate which is much like ATP. Only difference is the base, which the base used in CTP is cytosine. CTP acts as a coenzyme reactions like synthesis of glycerophospholipids and glycosylation of proteins.

Students have asked these similar questions
whether a protein can to work in the same way in two different types of cells
and if it possible that the same protein might function in different biochemical pathways
in eye cells and muscle cells even if the protein's basic mechanism always remains the same.

MULTIPLE CHOICE
In patients with Lesch Nyhan Syndrome, purine nucleotides are overproduced and over excreted. The hypoxanthine analogue Allopurinol, which effectively treats gout , has no effect on the severe neurological symptoms of Lesch- Nyhan patients because it does not
A. decrease de novo pyrimidine synthesis
B. decrease de novo purine synthesis
C. decrease urate synthesis
D. increase PRPP levels (Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate)
The interconverison of DHAP and GAP greatly favors the formation of DHAP at equilibirum. Yet the conversion of DHAP by triose phosphate isomerase proceeds readily. Why?

Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forwardPlease answer asap and in short and content should not be palgarisedarrow_forward
- a. b. C. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP) has recently been discovered to be important for cell survival. The synthesis of SPP form sphingosine and ATP is catalyzed by the enzyme sphingosine kinase. An understanding of the kinetics of the sphingosine kinase reaction may be important in the development of drugs to treat cancer. The velocity of the sphingosine kinase reaction was measured in the presence (5 µM) and absence of threo-sphingosine, a stereoisomer of sphingosine. The results are shown below. The sphingosine kinase used in all the reactions was 10 mg.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is considered to be an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in E. coli, yet PS is not found in appreciable amounts among E. coli membrane phos- pholipids. 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?

- At body temperature, L-aspartate in proteins race-mizes to D-aspartate at an appreciable rate. Most pro-teins in the body have a very low level of D-aspartate, if itcan be detected at all. Elastin, however, has a fairly highlevel of D-aspartate. Moreover, the amount of D-aspartateincreases in direct proportion to the age of the person fromwhom the sample was taken. Why do you suppose thatmost proteins have little if any D-aspartate, while elastinhas levels of D-aspartate that increase steadily with age?arrow_forwardDrug X has the following properties: Multiple H bond donors and acceptors, a low log P, a low solubility in octan-1-ol, low molecular weight and contains both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.

The drug will probably display increased oral bioavailability when taken after a high fat meal C. The drug resembles an amino acid and could be absorbed by the folate transporter D. The low logP suggests extensive partitioning into the phospholipid bilayer of the small intestinal mucosa E.
