Heme Synthesis

advertisement
A 4-year-old African boy is brought in by his adoptive
parents who say that he has pain in his limbs and
does not want to walk
A 40-year-old man complains of progressive
exertional shortness of breath
How are CO2, NO, and O2 processed and transported?
How is heme synthesized?

Small Molecule Processing
and Transport
• CO2 processing and transport
carbonic anhydrase, anion exchanger, carbamate formation, Bohr effect
• NO processing and transport
glutathione
• O2 processing and transport
hemoglobin/myoglobin structure, allostery, cooperativity
• Heme synthesis
pathway, disorders

Review Questions
• How are CO2 and NO processed and transported?
• How are myoglobin and hemoglobin similar and
different?
• What portion of hemoglobin is involved in small
molecule transport?
• What allosteric effectors bind hemoglobin?
• How do allosteric effectors produce left and right
shifts of the hemoglobin-O2 binding curves?
• How is heme synthesized?
• How is heme synthesis regulated?
