Cell membranes
• Cell membranes separate the interior of cells from the external environment and provide for internal compartmentalization
• All cell types are surrounded by a plasma membrane
• Eukaryotic cells contain nuclei and cyto-plasmic organelles bound by membranes
![Page 3: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cell Membranes
• All membranes have a similar structure: phospholipid bilayer with associated proteins– Phospholipids spontaneously form bilayers in
solution due to amphipathic properties• The bilayer forms a stable barrier between two
aqueous compartments and represents the basic structure of all biological membranes
![Page 4: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Membrane Lipids
• 50% of the mass of most cell membranes is lipids• Membranes of different structures or cell types
may have varying levels and types of lipid content
• Bacterial membranes are less complex than those of higher organisms having fewer lipid types present
• Mammalian membranes contain many lipid types within their structure
![Page 6: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
![Page 7: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Membrane Lipids
• Lipid bilayers act like two-dimensional fluids in which molecules may rotate and move laterally
• Fluidity is critical to membranes and is determined by temperature and lipid composition
• Lipids with unsaturated FAs and shorter FA chains remain fluid at lower temps
• Cholesterol plays a major role in maintaining membrane fluidity due to its structure– It helps support rigidity of membrane while maintaining
fluidity at lower temperatures
![Page 8: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Membrane Proteins• Make up 25 to 75% of the mass of cell
membranes• Membrane structure is thought of as a fluid
mosaic with proteins inserted into the lipid bilayer
• Phospholipids provide basic membrane structure and proteins carry out the specific functions of the membranes
• Proteins interact with membranes in one of three ways
![Page 11: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Integral Membrane Proteins• Embedded directly in the lipid bilayer• Most are called transmembrane proteins
– Span the entire lipid bilayer with exposed portions on both sides of the membrane
– Membrane spanning portions are usually α-helical areas of 20 to 25 nonpolar AAs
– Another bilayer spanning structure is the β-barrel, formed when β sheets fold into a barrel-like structure
• These proteins are amphipathic with hydrophilic portions exposed to the aqueous environment
• The proteins may span the membrane only once, or multiple times
• Most transmembrane proteins in eukaryote plasma membranes have added carbohydrate groups exposed on the cell surface
![Page 12: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lipid-Anchored Membrane Proteins
• Proteins anchored in membranes through covalent bonding with membrane lipids
• Particular lipid groups anchor proteins to one of the faces of the plasma membrane
• The hydrophobic portion of the lipid is embedded in the membrane and the protein is bound covalently to the lipid
• The polypeptide is not inserted into the hydrophobic portion of the membrane
![Page 14: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Peripheral Membrane Proteins
• Attached to the membrane through interactions with integral or lipid-anchored membrane proteins, or polar head groups of the lipids
• Do not interact with hydrophobic interior of lipid bilayer
• May only bind transiently with membrane, as in signaling processes
![Page 15: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Transport Across Cell Membranes
• Biological membranes are selectively permeable, allowing cells to control internal composition
• Small uncharged molecules freely diffuse across• Large polar molecules and ions cannot freely diffuse
across a lipid bilayer– These molecules may cross the membrane through
transmembrane proteins acting as transporters• Two classes of membrane transport proteins:
channel proteins and carrier proteins
![Page 17: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Channel Proteins
• Form open pores in membranes, allowing molecules of proper size and charge to cross
• Pores open and close in response to extracellular signals
• When open, pores allow molecules to freely diffuse across the membrane
• Ion channels allow passage of inorganic ions
![Page 19: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Carrier Proteins
• Selectively bind and transport specific small molecules across
• Behave like enzymes, binding molecules and undergoing conformational changes to open channels facilitating passage of molecules across the membrane to be released on the other side
![Page 21: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Transmembrane Transport
• Passive transport across a membrane occurs through channels or carrier proteins in an energetically favorable direction due to concentration gradients
• Active transport across a membrane occurs when molecules are transported in an energetically unfavorable direction in conjunction with hydrolysis of ATP as an energy source
![Page 23: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Plasma Membranes
• All cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane
• The fundamental structure of the plasma membrane is the phospholipid bilayer
• Proteins embedded in the bilayer carry out specific functions of the membrane
• RBC plasma membrane studies provided the first evidence of lipid bilayer structure
![Page 25: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

![Page 26: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Plasma Membrane Phospholipids
• More than half the lipid content in animal cell plasma membranes is made up primarily of four phospholipids in asymmetrical distribution– Phosphatidylcholine: glycerol phospholipid with a
head group formed from choline– Phosphatidylethanolamine: glycerol phospholipid
with a head group formed from ethanolamine
![Page 27: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Plasma Membrane Phospholipids
– Phosphatidylserine: glycerol phospholipid with a head group formed from serine
– Sphingomyelin: phospholipid consisting of two hydrocarbon chains bound to a polar head group containing serine
– Phosphatidylinostol is a glycerol phospholipid with a head group formed from inositol, found in minor quantities in some membranes• Plays a role in cell signaling
![Page 28: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Other Plasma Membrane Lipids
• Glycolipids are found in animal membranes with the carbohydrate portion exposed on the cell surface– Made of two hydrocarbon chains linked to polar
head groups containing carbohydrates• Cholesterol is a major constituent of animal
cell membranes, found in equivalent amounts to phospholipids
![Page 29: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Bilayer Characteristics
• Membrane is impermeable to water soluble molecules
• Bilayers composed of naturally occurring phospholipids are viscous fluids
• Most FA of phospholipids have double bonds that produce kinks in the hydrocarbon chains
• Kinks make the chains difficult to pack together and allows free movement
![Page 31: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bilayer Characteristics
• Cholesterol inserts into the bilayer and helps control membrane fluidity
• Plant cell membranes contain sterols to perform a similar function
• Cholesterol and sphingolipids form lipid rafts that move within the membrane– Their function is not well understood but they
appear to play roles in cell movement, endocytosis, and cell signaling
![Page 32: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Plasma Membrane Proteins
• Most plasma membranes are 50% protein and 50% lipid by weight
• Peripheral membrane proteins can be dissociated from the membrane by treatment with polar reagents
• Integral membrane proteins may only be removed by treatments that disrupt the bilayer
![Page 33: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

• Most peripheral proteins in RBCs are cytoskeletal components
• Major integral proteins of RBCs are glycophorin and band 3 – Function of glycopohrin is not known– Band 3 is responsible for anion transport
![Page 35: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Membrane Mobility
• Proteins and phosphlipids cannot move quickly between faces of the membrane
• Lateral movement through the membrane is allowed
• Membrane proteins associated with the cytoskeleton or other proteins are restricted from moving
• Plasma membranes of some cells are divided into functional domains
![Page 42: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Membrane Mobility
• Functional domains of membranes restrict protein movement to the area with which they are associated
• Lipid rafts inhibit free diffusion of some membrane proteins
• Interaction of lipid rafts with the cytoskeleton stabilizes them
![Page 44: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Glycocalyx
• Carbohydrate groups of glycoproteins and glycolipids that are exposed on the membrane surface make up the glycocalyx
• The glycocalyx provides protection for the cell surface
• Carbohydrate groups in the glycocalyx act as cell surface markers
![Page 47: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Small Molecule Transport
• Passive diffusion is the simplest method for molecules to cross the plasma membrane– Molecules dissolve in the bilayer to diffuse across
then dissolve in the aqueous solution on the other side
– No membrane proteins are needed– Molecule transport is down a concentration
gradient – Passive diffusion is a nonselective process
![Page 50: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Molecule Transport
• Facilitated diffusion occurs along a concentration gradient or as a result of electric potential
• It requires proteins to mediate transport of the molecules across the bilayer
• Carrier proteins and channel proteins aid in facilitated diffusion across membranes
![Page 51: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Active Transport• Active transport uses energy provided by
another reaction to drive uphill transport of molecules in energetically unfavorable directions
• Ion pumps are used to maintain ion gradients across membranes through active transport coupled to hydrolysis of ATP
• ABC transporters convey nutrients in prokaryotes and remove toxins in eukaryotes
![Page 52: Cell Membranes BIO 224 Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e385503460f94b2994c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Endocytosis
• Eukaryotes surround material for internalization in an area of plasma membrane that buds off internally in the process of endocytosis
• Phagocytosis: cell eating– Occurs in specialized cells– Produce phagosomes and phagolysosomes
• Pinocytosis: cell drinking– Receptor-mediated endocytosis is the best known
form

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
• Allows for selective uptake of specific macromolecules
• Molecules bind with receptors in clathrin-coated pits
• Pits bud to form clathrin-coated vesicles with the assistance of dynamin
• Vesicles fuse with early endosomes where contents are sorted to their destination

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
• Cholesterol uptake in mammals has provided understanding of receptor mediated endocytosis on the molecular level
• Fluid phase endocytosis also functions via receptors, allowing nonspecific uptake of extracellular fluids
• Endocytosis may also occur without the use of clathrin

Clathrin-Independent Endocytosis
• Cells may use caveolae for uptake of molecules, independent of clathrin
• Caveolin organizes creation of caveolae• Caveolae carry out receptor-mediated endocytosis
via transmembrane receptors, but cavoelin and caveolae lipids also function as receptors for molecule uptake
• Macropinocytosis may also be used to uptake fluids in a clathrin-independent manner
