1
Membrane structure and function
2
Phospholipids Membranes are made of fat (lipids)
3
Hydrophilic head Hydrophobic tails
4
Hydrophilic head Hydrophobic tail WATER Bilayer
6
Biological membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins
7
Hydrophilic region of protein Hydrophobic region of protein Phospholipid bilayer Fluid Mosaic Model of Singer and Nicolson (1972)
8
Freeze fracture (electron microscopy) Evidence for fluid mosaic model
9
Knife Cytoplasmic layer Extracellular layer Cytoplasmic layer Plasma membrane Extracellular layer Proteins
10
Lateral movement (~10 7 times per second) Flip-flop (~ once per month) Movement of phospholipids Membrane fluidity
11
Viscous Fluid Unsaturated hydrocarbon tails with kinks Membrane fluidity Saturated hydro- carbon tails
12
Cholesterol Cholesterol within the animal cell membrane
13
Fibers of extracellular matrix (ECM) Glycoprotein Carbohydrate Microfilaments of cytoskeleton Cholesterol Integral protein Peripheral proteins CYTOPLASMIC SIDE OF MEMBRANE EXTRACELLULAR SIDE OF MEMBRANE Glycolipid Membrane Proteins
14
Fibers of extracellular matrix (ECM) Glycoprotein Carbohydrate Microfilaments of cytoskeleton Cholesterol Integral protein Peripheral proteins CYTOPLASMIC SIDE OF MEMBRANE EXTRACELLULAR SIDE OF MEMBRANE Glycolipid Membrane Proteins
15
EXTRACELLULAR SIDE N-terminus C-terminus CYTOPLASMIC SIDE Helix Transmembrane protein
17
Enzymes Signal Receptor ATP Transport Enzymatic activity Signal transduction Membrane Proteins: functions
18
Glyco- protein Cell-cell recognition Intercellular joining Attachment to the cytoskeleton and extra- cellular matrix (ECM) Membrane Proteins: functions
19
Passive transport Active transport Bulk transport Moving stuff around
20
Diffusion
22
Molecules of dyeMembrane (cross section) WATER Net diffusion Equilibrium Diffusion of one solute Passive Transport
23
Passive transport is the diffusion of a substance across a biological membrane No energy required Passive Transport
24
Lower concentration of solute (sugar) Higher concentration of sugar Same concentration of sugar Selectively permeable mem- brane: sugar mole- cules cannot pass through pores, but water molecules can H2OH2O Osmosis Diffusion of water across a membrane
25
Animal cell Lysed H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O Normal Hypotonic solution Isotonic solutionHypertonic solution H2OH2O Shriveled
26
Getting across the membrane
27
Rather directly
28
Exocytosis
30
Some material can diffuse through membranes on their own Diffusion Passive
31
Some materials diffuse through only with help Diffusion Passive
32
Some materials must be pumped through membranes Against Diffusion Active (not passive)
33
Diffusion Facilitated diffusion Passive transport ATP Active transport
