1 Cell Membranes Chapt 5 The Cell Membrane Cell Membrane: At Very High Magnification & in color 1
2 Membrane Structure Cell Membrane Every cell is encircled by a membrane and most cells contain an extensive intracellular membrane system. Membranes fence off the cell's interior from its surroundings. Membranes let in water, certain ions and substrates and they excrete waste substances. They act to protect the cell. Without a membrane the cell contents would diffuse into the surroundings, information containing molecules would be lost and many metabolic pathways would cease to work: The cell would die! Cell Membranes: Surround all cells Fluid-like composition like soap bubbles Composed of: Lipids in a bilayer Proteins embedded in lipid layer (called transmembrane proteins) And, Proteins floating within the lipid sea (called integral proteins) And Proteins associated outside the lipid bilayer (peripheral). 2
3 Membrane Lipids Composed largely of phospholipids Phospholipids composed of.glycerol and two fatty acids + PO 4 group P-Lipids are polar molecules P-Lipids are represented like this Text pg. 81 Membrane Lipids form a Bilayer Outside layer Inside Layer Quiz If Phospholipids are polar, which end seeks out water and which avoids water? 3
4 Phospholipid Molecule Model phosphate (hydrophilic) glycerol fatty acids (hydrophobic) Membrane Proteins Integral: embedded within bilayer Peripheral: reside outside hydrophobic region of lipids Text pg. 80 Membrane Proteins Text pg 80 4
5 Integral membrane proteins Peripheral membrane proteins Integral Membrane Models Fluid Mosaic Model - lipids arranged in bilayer with proteins embedded or associated with the lipids. 5
6 Fluid Mosaic Membrane Text pg 80 Evidence for the Fluid Mosaic Model (Cell Fusion) More Evidence for the Fluid Mosaic Model 6
7 Membrane Functions allows for different conditions between inside and outside of cell subdivides cell into compartments with different internal conditions allows release of substances from cell via vesicle fusion with outer membrane: Membrane Permeability Biological membranes are physical barriers..but which allow small uncharged molecules to pass And, lipid soluble molecules pass through Big molecules and charged ones do NOT pass through How to get other molecules across membranes?? There are two ways that the molecules typically move through the membrane: passive transport and active transport Active transport requires that the cell use energy that it has obtained from food to move the molecules (or larger particles) through the cell membrane. Passive transport does not require such an energy expenditure, and occurs spontaneously. 7
8 Membrane Transport Mechanisms I. Passive Transport Diffusion- simple movement from regions of high concentration to low concentration Osmosis - diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane Facilitated diffusion- protein transporters which assist in diffusion Text pg 89 Membrane Transport Mechanisms II. Active Transport Active transport- proteins which transport against concentration gradient. Requires energy input Text pg 89 Diffusion Movement generated by random motion of particles. Caused by internal thermal energy. Movement always from region of high free energy(high concentration) to regions of low free energy (low conc.) Text pg 86 8
9 Movement of water across a semi-permeable barrier. Osmosis Example: Salt in water, cell membrane is barrier. Salt will NOT move across membrane, water will. Text pg 87 Osmosis in Hypertonic medium cell Hypertonic solutions- shrink cells 9
10 Osmosis in Hypotonic medium Hypotonic solutions- swell cells Endocytosis Transports macromolecules and large particles into the cell. Part of the membrane engulfs the particle and folds inward to bud off. Fig
11 Endocytosis Putting Out the Garbage Vesicles (lysosomes, other secretory vesicles) can fuse with the membrane and open up the the outside Exocytosis (Cellular Secretion) 11
12 Movies! Membrane Permeability 1) lipid soluble solutes go through faster 1) smaller molecules go faster 1) uncharged & weakly charged go faster 2) Channels or pores may also exist in membrane to allow transport 1 2 Cellular Membranes REVIEW Importance of Membranes Membrane Structure Proteins Fluid Mosaic model Permeability Types of Transport Passive and Active 12
13 Types of Protein Transporters: Ion Channels work by facilitated diffusion No E! deal with small molecules... ions open pores are gated - Can change shape. How? How much gets in? important in cell communication Ion Channels Work fast: No conform. changes needed Not simple pores in membrane: specific to different ions (Na, K, Ca...) gates control opening Toxins, drugs may affect channels saxitoxin, tetrodotoxin cystic fibrosis Toxins how they work 13
14 Cystic Fibrosis Fatal genetic disorder Mucus build-up results in lung and liver failure Patients die between 4 and 30 yrs. Single gene defect 1 in 25 Caucasians carry 1 bad gene copy 1 in 2500 kids has it in Canada Testing CF Cont ~Proteins for diffusion of salt into the airways don't work. ~Less salt in the airways means less water in the airways. ~ Less water in the airways means mucus layer is very sticky (viscous). ~Sticky mucus cannot be easily moved to clear particles from the lungs. ~Sticky mucus traps bacteria and causes more lung infections. Transport Proteins Facilitated Diffusion & Active Transport move solutes faster across membrane highly specific to specific solutes can be inhibited by drugs 14
15 Types of Protein Transporters A. Facilitated Diffusion Assist in diffusion process. Solutes go from High conc to Low conc. Examples: Glucose transporters Text pg 88 Facilitated Diffusion The Glucose Transporters Transport of glucose into cells mediated by proteins in the GLUT (GLUcose Transport) family of transporters. There are 7 different, but related, proteins. But, only four (GLUT1-4) are known to be involved in glucose transport. All GLUT proteins share a set of similar structural features and are all about 500 amino acids in length (giving them a predicted molecular weight of about 55,000 Daltons) Glucose uptake shows saturation and glucose uptake can be inhibited by drugs A classic Membrane Transport protein Glucose Transporter Characteristics: integral protein: spans the membrane 12 alpha helices woven into membrane 55,000 mol. wt. Text pg
16 Glucose Transporter: How it works.. glucose binds to outside of transporter (exterior side with higher glucose conc.) glucose binding causes a conform. change in protein glucose drops off inside cell protein reassumes 1st configuration Types of Protein Transporters: Active Transport carrier proteins go against the concentration gradients Low to High require Energy to function (ATP, PEP, light energy, electron transport) Membrane Transport: Active transport Movement from region of low free energy(low concentration) to regions of high free energy (high conc.) Requires energy input 16
17 Active Transport: Sodium-Potassium Pump Na+ high Na+ low K+ low K+ high Balance of the two ions goes hand-in-hand ATP required for maintenance of the pump The sodium/potassium pump All nerve and muscle cells have a high internal potassium ion concentration and a low internal sodium ion concentration. [Ki=166 mm; Ko=5 mm; Nai=18 mm; Nao=135 mm]. Early on, it was thought that the nerve and muscle membranes were relatively impermeable to these ions and that the difference in ionic concentration was set up in early development of the cells. The membrane then became impermeable. The later availability and use of radioactive Na and K ions showed that this was not true and that there was a metabolic pump that pumped Na out of the cell and K in; the ratio being 3 Na pumped out of the cell for every 2 K pumped into the cell. Is a Protein Involved? Experiments showed a dependency of both Na and K ions for pump to work Pump was inhibited by ouabain (a drug) 1957: an ATPaseenzyme was found to be associated with Na/K pumping Studies showed this ATPase capable of pumping Na/K ions Text pg 90 17
18 Sodium/Potassium ATPase Protein Made of 2 large and 2 small subunits 2 large units span membrane inside region: contains ATP binding site inside: binding sites for Na outside: binding site for K How does it work?? Sodium-Potassium Pump Text pg Na-K Pump Model: Part I 3 Na+ bind to inner region of protein Na+ binding triggers phosphorylation of protein. ATP ADP + Pi Phosphorylation causes conformation change and Na+ binding site faces outside 3 Na+ released to outside 18
19 Na-K Active Pump: Part II 2 K+ ions on outside are able to bind K+ binding causes dephosphorylation and new conformation change 2K+ ions exposed to inside and released Cyclic process uses ATP energy to drive Na & K ion transport againstconc. Gradient Cell Junctions Allow specific types of cells to stay together to perform special jobs Layers of these types of cells Line body cavities Cover body surfaces 3 Types of Cell Junctions 1. Tight Junctions 2. Desmosomes 3. Gap Junctions 19
20 Seal tissues and prevent leaks Link epithelial cells together Prevent things from moving through the intercellular space Restrict migration of proteins and phospholipids Tight Junctions Like spot welds! Desmosomes Dense plaques with fibers attached- Anchor cells together from one side to the other. These cells withstand lots of abuse! Cell to cell communication. Gap Junctions Protein channels- (what type?) connexons Plasmodesmata 20
21 Put Them All Together Membrane Structure The cell is highly organized with many functional units or organelles inside. Most of these units are limited by one or more membranes. To perform the functions of an organelle, the membrane is specialized in that it contains speci fic proteins and lipid components that enable it to perform its unique roles. In essence membranes are essential for the integrity and function of the cell. Membrane functions: be protective regulate transport in and out of cell or organelle allow selective receptivity and signal transduction by providing transmembrane receptors that bind signaling molecules allow cell recognition provide anchoring sites for cytoskeletal components. This allows the cell to maintain its shape and perhaps move to distant sites. provide a stable site for the binding and catalysis of enzymes. regulate the fusion of the membrane with other membranes in the cell via specialized junctions provide a passageway across the membrane for certain molecules allow directed cell or organelle motility 21
