Fluid mosaic model of membranes

Dynamic diffusion of lipids in membranes

Active transport Transport up a concentration gradient Uses energy (ATP) May also cause charge gradient across the membrane causing the molecule to move against the membrane potential.

Properties of “Active” membrane pumps Example of a Na+/K+ pump ATPases (sometimes GTPases) Na+/K+ pump uses  30% resting ATP Active Pumps are used to transport materials against their electrochemical gradient Essential Cell Biology Alberts, Bray, et al.

a) Uniport: 1 type of solute is transported Eg: Valinomycin (K+ transport)

Valinomycin is a carrier for K+. It is a circular molecule, made up of 3 repeats of the sequence shown above.

Puckering of the ring, stabilized by H-bonds, allows valinomycin to closely surround a single unhydrated K+ ion. Six oxygen atoms of the ionophore interact with the bound K+, replacing O atoms of waters of hydration. Valinomycin is highly selective for K+ relative to Na+. The smaller Na+ ion cannot simultaneously interact with all 6 oxygen atoms within valinomycin. Thus it is energetically less favorable for Na+ to shed its waters of hydration to form a complex with valinomycin.

Whereas the interior of the valinomycin-K+ complex is polar, the surface of the complex is hydrophobic. This allows valinomycin to enter the lipid core of the bilayer, to solubilize K+ within this hydrophobic milieu. Crystal structure

Valinomycin is a passive carrier for K+ Valinomycin is a passive carrier for K+. It can bind or release K+ when it encounters the membrane surface. Valinomycin can catalyze net K+ transport because it can translocate either in the complexed or uncomplexed state. The direction of net flux depends on the electrochemical K+ gradient.

b) Symport: 2 different solutes transported together in one direction Eg: Glucose –Na+ tranporter in epithelial cells Lactose permease: H+ -lactose symport c)Antiport: 2 different solutes transport in opposite directions Eg: Adenine nucleotide translocase (ATP/ADP exchanger)
