In the lungs what is the occurring with respect to the [H+] of the microenvironment of the red blood cells to aid in oxygen transport? Select all that apply
BPG binding causes the release of protons from the central cavity of the R-state that favors quaternary shift to the T-state
Carbamates are forming, causing ionization of protons that leads to [H+] decrease and stabilization of oxygenated Hb
Large amounts of bicarbonate being produced, leads to a decrease in pH and stabilization of the T-state of Hb
Bicarbonate is picking up protons from Hb as it transtions to the R-state, combating the decrease in the [H+]
Carbonic anhydrase is catalyzing a reaction that consume protons, thus Hb is ionizing protons to help prevent change in pH

The functional relationship between PKA and autophagyis largely unclear. Because PKA controls cell metabolism particularly related to glucose status (21–23), we first examined the relationship between autophagy and PKA activity in the control of cellmetabolism with glucose limitation. We found that in addition toactivating autophagy, glucose starvation also induced the phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding (p-CREB), a wellknown PKA substrate, indicative of elevated PKA activity in bothHEK293T and HCT116 cells. In contrast, disruption of autophagyby deletion of essential autophagy gene Atg7 or Atg14 abolished theincrease of p-CREB levels in the above cells (SI Appendix, Fig.S1 A, B, D, and E), suggesting that inactivation of autophagy suppresses PKA activity in response to energy shortage. Moreover, lossof Atg7 or Atg14 accelerated cell death in response to glucosestarvation (SI Appendix, Fig.…arrow_forward
- A mutation of Lysine 82 (in the DPG-binding pocket) to Arginine in beta sub-unit will most likely result in Not enough information Higher than normal binding affinity to oxygen Lower than normal binding affinity to oxygen Normal binding to oxygenarrow_forwardThe mutation in hemoglobin at B82 Lys → Asp results in lowered O,-binding affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. B82 is one of the residues that lines the 2,3-BPG binding site (see Figure 7.29; B82 is adjacent to His143). Based on the location of this residue and the differences between Lys and Asp, sug- gest a rationale for the observed reduction in Oz-binding affinity.arrow_forwardWhy does the dissociation constant change for hemoglobin in high and low 02 concentrations? O Hemoglobin is a tetramer and subunits have decreased dissociation of 02 when a neighboring subunit has bound 02 O Hemoglobin is a monomeric protein with increased dissociation of 02 when a neighboring molecule has bound 02 O Hemoglobin is a tetramer and subunits have increased dissociation of 02 when a neighboring subunit has bound CO O Hemoglobin is a tetramer and subunits have increased dissociation of O2 when a neighboring subunit has bound O2arrow_forward
- . The mutation in hemoglobin at B82 Lys → Asp results in lowered O2-binding affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. B82 is one of the residues that lines the 2,3-BPG binding site. A rationale for the observed reduction in O2-binding affinity is: A. The positive charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other negative charged side chains stabilizing R-conformer. B. The negative charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other positive charged side chains stabilizing the T-conformer. C. The Asp side chain mimics the positive charge on BPG. D. The Asp side chain mimics the negative charge on BPG. E. The Asp side chain is a nucleophile that attacks the BPG. F. BPG attacks the Asp side chain. G. Stabilization of the R-conformer favors O, release. H. Stabilization of the T-conformer favors O, release.arrow_forwardIf there was a molecule that causes Hb to be more stable in the T state, this molecule would: a. Generally, raise the affinity of Hb for O2 b. Generally, lower the affinity of Hb for O2 c. Generally, cause Mb to favor the R state while Hb is in the T state d. Generally, cause Hb to dissociate into αβ dimersarrow_forwardWhat type of regulation does the interaction of BPG with hemoglobin represent?

- Why does enzyme x catalyze the formation of the phosphodiester bond and please explain how nucleas recognizes phospjodiester bondsarrow_forwardIt has been shown recently that the African naked GLUT5-O Fructose mole-rat can withstand up to 18 min of complete anoxia (ab- sence of O2) in the presence of high levels of CO2 without ap- parent brain damage. The basis of its capacity to tolerate such unusual conditions is that the brain, heart, and liver in the mole- rat switch to fructose-driven glycolysis. In contrast to normal mice, these tissues in the naked mole-rat have high levels of GLUT5 specific for cellular uptake of fructose. The available pathways for breakdown of fruct ose for metabolic energy production are shown on the right. KHK stands for ketohexosekinase, an enzyme that is markedly upregulated in the mole-rat compared to normal mice. Conse- quently mice must metabolize fructose largely via hexokinase (HK). In the diagram ALDOB, ALDOA, etc. represent aldolase isozymes.
