Carbohydrates Lecture II Highlights
1.Linking together of more than one sugar residues creates higher order saccharides – disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
2. Most of the linkages in higher order saccharides involve glycosidic bonds.
3. Disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
4. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar, whereas lactose is a reducing sugar.
5. Oligosaccharides are components of glycoproteins.
6. The most common polysaccharides include glycogen, cellulose, starch, chitin.
7. Polysaccharides can be homopolymers or heteropolymers. Homopolymers include glycogen, cellulose, amylose, amylopectin, and chitin.
8. Glycogen is an animal energy storage polysaccharide, amylopectin and amylose combine to form starch, which is a plant energy storage polysaccharide, cellulose is a plant structural polysaccharide, and chitin is a component of insect exoskeletons.
9. The enzyme cellulase is required to digest the beta 1-4 bonds of cellulose. Ruminants and ungulates contain the bacterium that makes that enzyme.
10. Glycosaminoglycans are polysaccharides that contain either N-acetylgalactosamine or N-acetylglucosamine. They are polyanionic and have interesting chemical properties. Examples include chondroitin sulfates and keratan sulfates of connective tissue, dermatan sulfates, heparin, hyaluronic acid, and others.
11. Proteoglycans are complexes of proteins and glycosaminoglycans that form feathery structures.
12. Glycoproteins consist of a protein linked to an oligosaccharide, usually via an ‘N’ or an ‘O’ linkage. N linkages occur through asparagine of the protein. O linkages occur across serine or threonine of the protein.
13. Oligosaccharides on proteins and lipids have functions in cellular identity and can be recognized and bound by immunoglobulins.
14. Oligosaccharides on the surface of cells help give them their identity. A,B, and O blood group antigens give rise to the various blood types and these arise from carbohydrates on their cell surfaces.
15. Transplanted organs suffer rejection when the new organ has a different oligosaccharide pattern than the organ the recipient originally had. This encourages the immune system to attack it as foreign.
16. All N-linked glycoproteins have the same core of five carbohydrate residues.
17. N-linked glycoproteins have glycosylation (addition of carbohydrate residues) occurring in the endoplamic reticulum and Golgi complex of the cell. O-linked glycoproteins have glycosylation occuring only in the Golgi complex.
18. Movement of modified proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex allows for additional carbohydrate modifications to occur, followed by targeting to 1) the cell membrane, 2) release from the cell, or 3) the lysosome.
19. Two terms that you should be aware of are Haworth structures and Fischer projections. Haworth structures refer to the ring forms of sugars. The straight chain forms are referred to as Fischer projections.
20. Oligosaccharides destined to be linked to proteins to make glycoproteins are “built” on dolichol phosphate on the outer portion of the endoplasmic reticulum and then this “flips” to the inside for attachment.
21. Specific carbohydrate residues on the surface glycoproteins of blood cells are binding targets for hemagluttanin proteins on the surface of flu viruses. To exit a cell, the virus must cleave the sialic acid off with a neuraminidase enzyme. Anti-flu drugs like tamiflu act by inhibiting the action of the neuraminidase.

Signaling Highlights
1. Signaling is essential for cells in multicellular organisms to communicate with each other.
2. To do so, cells use first messengers (usually hormones), such as epinephrine (adrenalin), insulin, or epidermal growth factor.
3. Upon binding to a specific receptor on a target cell, the first messenger elicits a response that results in production of a second messenger inside of the target cell. Second messengers include cAMP, cGMP, calcium, diacylglycerol, PIP3, and others.
