ADDITIONAL NEED TO KNOW STUFF
this is a genetic disorder where the disaccharides for making derma tan sulfate are very low. it results in dwarfed stature, rapid aging, defects in muscle, joints and skin
progeria
these polysaccharides predominate over proteins in the matrix in invertebrates and plants?
cellulose (poly glucose) and chitin (poly-n-acetylglucosamine)
what comprises Hyaluronan?
1 glucuronate and 1 N-acetylglucosamine
this GAG is important as a space filler/retainer?
what is this GAG catabolized by?
this GAG has binding proteins found in the matrix and on cell membranes
Hyaluronan
Hyaluronidase
Hyaladherins
what are chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate comprised of?
glucuronate and 1 N-acetylgalactosamine
iduronate and 1 N-acetylgalactosamine
what are heparan sulfate and heparin comprised of?
glucuronate or iduronate and N-acetylglucosamine
between heparan sulfate and heparin, which one has more sulfates?

what are some specific signals that proteoglycans bind?
FGF
TGF
this type of proteoglycan is used for mechanical support, aggregates with hyaluronan
cartilage
130 GAGs
aggrecan
this type of proteoglycan is used to bind type I collagen and TGF-B
connective tissue
1 GAG
decorin
this type of proteoglycan is used for for cell adhesion and binding FGF
fibroblast and epithelial cells
1-3 GAGs
syndecan-1
this final form of collagen is found in bone and resists mechanical stress in the x,y,z plane?
angled bundle
this syndrome results from a mutation in the fibrillin gene, which could lead to a rupture in the aorta?
marfan’s syndrome
why is a1-antitrypsin important?deficiency causes what?
lung elasticity
emphysema
what are the phases for hair development?
alpha helix keratin protofibril microfibril macrofibril hair
for elastin, what gives the elasticity? what are the ends rich in?
hydrophobic R groups
rich in alanine and lysine, form alpha helical arrays and cross link with other elastin molecules
what is the effect of integrins triggering intracellular signal cascades?
binding to matrix alters gene expression
