11 Ion pumps Uniporter (one solute one way): I - pump in thyroid Coupled transporters (two solutes) Symporter (same direction): Antiporter (opposite directions) Na + /K + ATPase in mitochondria
12
12 3. Cells can control solute distribution across their membranes by controlling: a. Synthesis of integral proteins b. Activity of integral proteins c. E supply for pumps Therefore, expect that solutes would be unequally distributed across membranes
13
13 4. Actual ion distributions Squid Axon (mM): ION[CYTOPLASM][ECF] Na + 50460 K + 40010 Cl - 40540 Ca ++ <110 A - 350<1 Organic anions with multiple - charges COO - on proteins, sulfates, phosphates, etc....
14
14 5. Reasons for unequal distribution a. Metabolic production of organic anions A - produced by biosynthetic machinery inside the cell b. Membrane permeability impermeable to A - moderate Cl - permeability 30-50X more permeable to K + than Na +
15
15 Given a and b, system passively comes to unequal ion distribution Diffusion of ions governed not only by their concentration gradients, but also their electrical gradients
16
16 Permeable uncharged solutes will come to equilibrium across membranes if no other forces acting
17
17 1 M sucrose Permeable uncharged solutes will come to equilibrium across membranes if no other forces acting
18
18 1 M sucrose Permeable uncharged solutes will come to equilibrium across membranes if no other forces acting
19
19 1 M sucrose 0.5 M sucrose Permeable uncharged solutes will come to equilibrium across membranes if no other forces acting
20
20 Permeable charged solutes will not come to concentration equilibrium across membrane if other charged impermeable solutes are present
21
21 Na + A-A- Impermeable
22
22 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - Permeable
23
23 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl -
24
24 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl -
25
25 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl -
26
26 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - At equilibrium: chemical force driving K + out
27
27 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - At equilibrium: chemical force driving K + out is exactly balanced by the electrical force (electromotive force) holding K + in
28
28 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - At equilibrium: chemical force driving K + out is exactly balanced by the electrical force (electromotive force) holding K + in Result: an unequal ion distribution which will be maintained passively
29
29 Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - Na + A-A- K+K+ Cl - At equilibrium: chemical force driving K + out is exactly balanced by the electrical force (electromotive force) holding K + in Result: an unequal ion distribution which will be maintained passively “Donnan Equilibrium”
30
30 Donnan Equilibrium resembles situation in real cell, with one exception: cell is not maintained passively Poison real cell and unequal distribution eventually goes away
31
31 c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
32
32 Na + A-A- c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
33
33 Na + A-A- c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
34
34 Na + A-A- Na + /K + ATPase c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
35
35 Na + A-A- c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
36
36 Na + A-A- K+K+ c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
37
37 Na + A-A- K+K+ c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
38
38 If Na + allowed to build up, inside becomes +, drives K + out, and lose unequal distribution Na + A-A- K+K+ c. Cells work via pumps to maintain unequal ion distribution Na + “leaks” in down chemical and electrical gradients
39
39 Therefore, cells use combination of active and passive mechanisms to maintain unequal ion distributions REASON? B. Membrane Potentials 1. Significance of unequal distributions Whenever an ion is unequally distributed across a membrane, it endows the membrane with an electrical potential “membrane potential” (E M or V M )

44 Inside is -80 mV 2. Membrane potential measurement a. Voltmeter
45
45 b. Calculate with Nernst equation E M =RT x ln[ion] outside FZln[ion] inside R = gas constant, T = abs. temperature F = Faraday constant, Z = valance Magnitude of the voltage due to 1 unequally distributed ion is directly proportional to the magnitude of its unequal distribution
46
46 BUT: can't use it for a real cell only valid for 1 ion only valid for freely permeable ions Can use it to calculate voltage due to any one freely permeable ion in a mixture e.g. K + = -91 mV Na + = +65 mV
47
47 c. Alternative: GOLDMAN EQUATION accounts for multiple ions accounts for permeability of each multiplies [ion] ratios X permeability constant for each ion, then sums up all to get total membrane E M
48
48 d. CONCLUSION: In ion mixture, each ion contributes to the overall E M in proportion to its permeability Most permeable ions contribute the most charge
49
49 Which ion is most permeable? K+K+ real cell: inside is -80 mV = resting E M cell is “negatively polarized”
50
50 E M is due almost exclusively to the unequal distribution of K + Changes in [K + ] alter E M easily Changes in [Na + ] do not alter E M
51
51 All cells have resting potential due to ion distributions Some cells can use this electrical potential to transmit information
