Explain why the symptoms of fumarase deficiency are similar to the symptoms of a deficiency in aconitase.

Question 16 In people with Grave’s disease, the immune system produces a large amount of a protein that is so much like TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) that it binds to cells of the thyroid gland and acts like TSH. Unlike TSH, the secretion of this protein does not respond to negative feedback.

a) What effect will this abnormal protein have on the function of the thyroid gland?

b) What effect will this abnormal protein have on the release on hormones from the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland?

c) If TSH binds to membrane-bound receptors on cells of the thyroid gland will a second messenger system be needed for hormonal action? Explain.

Imagine a scenario is which 52 protons are pumped across the membrane of the inner mitochondrial membrane. If you assume that the glycerol-phosphate shuttle is used, and the overall yield of substrate-level phosphorylations is 3, a. What specific starting molecule in the metabolic pathways we studied would you start with to give such a yield of pumped protons and substrate level phosphorylations? b. At what specific reactions (give the reaction, not just a “number”) in the metabolic pathways would you yield electron carriers (and what “type”), and how many of each of the electron carriers would you make to give the total of 52 protons? c. Describe what role the electrons play and describe the general movement of the electrons through the electron transport chain to the final electron acceptor. d. What would the effect of adding dinitrophenol (DNP) be on the electron transport chain? Be specific. e. How many total ATP would be made under aerobic conditions starting at the molecule you determined? f. Finally, how many protons would be pumped from your starting molecule under anaerobic conditions and why?

An experimental mouse model of Leishmania infection was used by
Nathan and Miller to investigate the relative contribution of reactive
oxygen intermediates (ROIs) and reactive nitrogen intermediates
(RNIs) in the control of leishmaniasis.
i) How did the authors establish that RNIs but not ROIs are essential and
sufficient to limit an infection?
ii) How are these toxic intermediates generated by redox reactions
and what mechanisms protect the parasite against their toxicity?
