Ion Channels are membrane-bound proteins Involved in communication 3 types, voltage, ligand and mechanically-sensitive Nerves: They rely on “batteries”—constant source of voltage Voltage generated through K + /Na + exchange. (Next time:) On/Off is digital, not analog–have transistors in you. Analogs in Fruit flies have relevance for humans. Today: Ion Channels

Nerve Mutation in Potassium Ion Gene Analog to mutation in fruit fly

how many different ion channels? Ans: 25,000 genes: 5000 genes. One or more polypeptide/ion channel– could get less, or more, ion channels. Photons C.N.S Ion channels are used to communicate to a cell. Are turned on/off by 3 types of signals. Every cell in every organism has ion channels.

(Focus on Chemical Synapse) Ion Channels 0 mV (Outside) -60 to -100 mV (Inside) closed (polarized) 0 mV (Inside) open (depolarized) In general, every cell is like battery. Chemical nm synapses Unidirectional (gain). Electrical 3.5 nm synapses Fastest. Bidirectional, no gain (post< pre).

Valium binds to serotonin (ligand) receptor called GABA receptor– relaxes nerves. Major source of drug targets.

Nerves How (electrical) signal is transported along a nerve Axon Dendrites Cell Body Terminal Branch of Axon Inside ~-0.1V Resting potential (~-0.1V)

Na + channels open quickly; K + opens later Na + channels spontaneously close after being open for a while

Action Potential– Nerves Firing

To close ion channels, to stop wave: 4. Na + spontaneously close 5. K + open  brings membrane potential back down negative.

Gradient set-up by Na/K Transporters [will go over]

V>0 or <0? What causes charge to stop flowing? Membrane permeant to Na + Membrane permeant to K + Membrane permeant to only one ion What is voltage (electrical potential) in each case Given that V ~ -60mV and Na/K are two major ions, which is your membranes permeant to? K+K+ Just a tiny amount of charge causes potential: much less than 15 mM or 150 mM. A sufficiently large force (electrical potential) preventing more ions from going.
