BSI Lecture 13 Membrane Transport part 2 Flashcards
All carrier-mediated transport systems (excluding ion channels) exhibit _______ kinetics.
saturation
Saturation Kinetics is due to a _________ number of transporter molecules.
finite
T or F? When multiple substances are transported, the binding of one substance often enhances subsequent binding.
true
In facilitated transport, a substance is normally impermeable to the membrane and uses a form of transport that relies purely on the flow of a substance down it’s ________ _________
concentration gradient
Most glucose uptake by cells are done by __________ transport
facilitated
_________ exerts its effects by increasing the number of transporter molecules in the cell membrane.
insulin
Insulin exerts its effects by changing the kinetics or turning transporters “on.” T of F?
False. It increases the number of transporter molecules in the cell membrane.
What other molecules does facilitate diffusion transport besides glucose?
fructose and galactose
After the glucose binds to the receptor site, what happens next?
Conformational change resulting in the glucose facing the opposite side of the membrane.
Facilitated diffusion only happens in efflux. T or F?
False, transport can usually occur in either direction depending on the gradient, (if not coupled).
After release of the transported sugar, the transporter must re-orientate back to its original conformation, this is probably the _____ Limiting Step.
rate
What year was the first GLUT transporter protein cloned and found to be 492 AA monomer constitutively expressed in virtually all cells.
1985
How many different sugar transporters are there?
14
Sugar transporters are composed of how many transmembrane domain.
12
In a sugar transporter, each transmembrane domain (TMD) is compose of an alpha-helix with a central _______ pore for sugar to pass.
aqueous
Sugar transport substrate specificity appears to be determined by_________ bonding between specific sugar hydroxyl groups and the hydrophilic AA side-groups lining the binding site
