The Cell Membrane 2007-2008

Phospholipids Phosphate head Fatty acid tails Arranged as a bilayer “attracted to water” Phosphate head hydrophilic Fatty acid tails hydrophobic Arranged as a bilayer Fatty acid “repelled by water” Aaaah, one of those structure–function examples

Arranged as a Phospholipid bilayer Serves as a cellular barrier / border sugar H2O salt polar hydrophilic heads nonpolar hydrophobic tails impermeable to polar molecules polar hydrophilic heads waste lipids

Cell membrane defines cell Cell membrane separates living cell from aqueous environment thin barrier = 8nm thick Controls traffic in & out of the cell allows some substances to cross more easily than others hydrophobic (nonpolar) vs. hydrophilic (polar)

Permeability to polar molecules? Membrane becomes semi-permeable via protein channels specific channels allow specific material across cell membrane inside cell H2O aa sugar salt outside cell NH3

Why are proteins the perfect molecule to build structures in the cell membrane? 2007-2008

Classes of amino acids What do these amino acids have in common? nonpolar & hydrophobic

Classes of amino acids What do these amino acids have in common? I like the polar ones the best! polar & hydrophilic

Proteins domains anchor molecule Within membrane nonpolar amino acids hydrophobic anchors protein into membrane On outer surfaces of membrane in fluid polar amino acids hydrophilic extend into extracellular fluid & into cytosol Polar areas of protein Nonpolar areas of protein

H+ NH2 H+ COOH Cytoplasm Retinal chromophore Nonpolar (hydrophobic) a-helices in the cell membrane Examples aquaporin = water channel in bacteria Porin monomer b-pleated sheets Bacterial outer membrane H2O H+ proton pump channel in photosynthetic bacteria function through conformational change = protein changes shape H2O

Many Functions of Membrane Proteins “Channel” Outside Plasma membrane Inside Transporter Enzyme activity Cell surface receptor “Antigen” Signal transduction - transmitting a signal from outside the cell to the cell nucleus, like receiving a hormone which triggers a receptor on the inside of the cell that then signals to the nucleus that a protein must be made. Cell surface identity marker Cell adhesion Attachment to the cytoskeleton

Membrane Proteins Proteins determine membrane’s specific functions cell membrane & organelle membranes each have unique collections of proteins Classes of membrane proteins: peripheral proteins loosely bound to surface of membrane ex: cell surface identity marker (antigens) integral proteins penetrate lipid bilayer, usually across whole membrane transmembrane protein ex: transport proteins channels, permeases (pumps)

1972, S.J. Singer & G. Nicolson proposed Fluid Mosaic Model It’s like a fluid… It’s like a mosaic… It’s the Fluid Mosaic Model! Membrane is a collage of proteins & other molecules embedded in the fluid matrix of the lipid bilayer Glycoprotein Extracellular fluid Glycolipid Transmembrane proteins The carbohydrates are not inserted into the membrane -- they are too hydrophilic for that. They are attached to embedded proteins -- glycoproteins. Phospholipids Filaments of cytoskeleton Cholesterol Peripheral protein Cytoplasm 1972, S.J. Singer & G. Nicolson proposed Fluid Mosaic Model

Membrane carbohydrates Play a key role in cell-cell recognition ability of a cell to distinguish one cell from another antigens important in organ & tissue development basis for rejection of foreign cells by immune system The four human blood groups (A, B, AB, and O) differ in the external carbohydrates on red blood cells.
