1
Q

Structure of heme

A

4 pyroles (pent with N at top and two double bonds)

Either methyl, vinyl, or propionate
-arrangement of side chains is important for activity

Fe+2

2
Q

Heme aka

A

Protophyrin IX

3
Q

p450 class enzymes

A

Synthesized by heme

In liver-liver detox, synthesis of vit D, cholesterol syn, synthesis of bile and bile acids

Decrease in these enzymes leads to heme biosyn

Incrased sun after 4M

4
Q

Porphyrin precursors

A

ALA and PBG

Water soluble and are excreted and measured in urine

5
Q

Porphyrinogens

A

Larger-aqueous stability varies based on number of carboxylic acid (acidic) side chains

Biologiacally active

Reduced

6
Q

Porphyrins

A

Detected and measured in a labs

Oxidized-creates conjugation system that allows molecules to abosrt visible light
-Produces reactive species in tissue

7
Q

Heme biosynthesis pathway

8 steps

A
Succinyl CoA+glycine
-delta aminolevunlinic acid synthase
2 Delta aminovulnic acids
-delta aminovulinic acid dehhydratase
4 Porphobilinogen
-Porphobilinogen deaminase
Hyroxymethbilane
-UROIII Cosynthase
UROIII
-URO Decarboxlyase
COPROIII
-Copro Oxidase (all phyrinogen above)
Protophyrinogen IX
-Proto oxidase
Protophyrin 9
-Ferrochelatase and Fe2+
Heme
8
Q

what parts of heme biosyn are in mito

A

succinyal coa and glycine to ALA
and
Copro III to Heme

9
Q

ALAS=

A

Vit B6

Pyridoxal phosphate

10
Q

Committed step?

A

ALAS

11
Q

Inhibited by Fe

A

ALAS II

12
Q

Inhibited by Pb

A

ALAD, Ferro (less sensitive), Pyrimidine 5’ nucleotides

13
Q

Where is heme syn?

A
Bone marrow (85%)
Liver
14
Q

What stops heme syn

A

RBC mature

15
Q

1st step

A

Sucinyal CoA and glycine to delta Aminivulinate

b6

ALAS1 or housekeeping in liver
ALAS2 (inhabit by Fe)

16
Q

1st step inhib

difference with ALASII

A

hematin, hemin heme,(allosteric inhib)

Heme (inhibits alas to cyto)

Heme, insulin , glucose-repress trx of ALAS

Has IRE-translation blocked by Pb

17
Q

2nd step

A

2 molecules ALA to PBG by ALAD

ALAD contains Zn

1st precursor pyrole

Inhibited by Pb

18
Q

1st step activation

A

4M

Liver-metabolize p450 stuff

induce sun of p450-need heme

decrease concentration of heme in cells

19
Q

4m

A

meds, maladies, bleeding, malnutrition

increase p450 sun

20
Q

3rd step

A

4PBG+PBGD=HMB

21
Q

4th step

A

HMB+UROIIIS=UROIII+UROIIID=COPROI
or
high conc
HMB spont to UROI spont to COPROI

22
Q

URO III, COPROIII, Protophyrinogen IX

excretion

A

urine, urine and blie, blie

23
Q

Siderblastic anemia

A

ring siderblasts in bone marrow (excessive Fe accumulation)

Impaired heme biosyn

Microcytic and hypochromic

Mito metabolism problems

Nucleated RBC

24
Q

hereditary sidero anemia

A

X-linked-erythroid spec=ALAS2

mtDNA mistake

25
Q

Aquired

A

Myedisplasia-mtDNA pt muts

Drugs-Isoniazid/ethanol

Toxins-lead

Nutritional-pyrixidoxine defeciency

26
Q

Trx Pb poisoning

A

chelators

27
Q

Pb poisioning presentation

A

lethary, ab discomfort,

anemia, gingival and long bone pb line, headache

convulsions, coma, renal failure

28
Q

Diagnosis of Pb poisoning

A

ALA in urine
ZPP in blood (goes into protophyrin 9 instead of Fe)
Basophilic stippling in peripheral smear

29
Q

Acute porphyria vs nonacute

A

acute-ALA/PBG up, decrease in heme-neuropsych signs and symtoms

Nonacute-accumulation of porphyrinogens in skin and tissue, spontaneous oxidation of porhyringens to porphyrins, photosenstivity

30
Q

acute and non acute porphyria sims

A

mostly auto dom

both have genetic and non genetic factors

(some are auto rec tho)

31
