18
Q

role of the permeability barrier of cytoplasmic membrane

A

prevents leakage and functions as a gateway for transport of nutrients into, and wastes out of the cell

19
Q

characteristics of facilitated diffusion + 2 examples

A

can only transport solutes down the gradient. For uncharged substrates, the concentration gradient alone will determine the direction of the flow. For charged substrates, the concentration and the charge will determine the direction of the flow

  1. channel-mediated with a channel protein
  2. carrier-mediated with a carrier protein
20
Q

characteristics of active transport

A

transport solutes against the concentration (or electrochemical) gradient

21
Q

3 characteristics of transport systems

A
  1. it can be saturated: the rate of uptake becomes maximal and addition of more substrates do not increase the rate (all proteins are used)
  2. it is specific: transport single molecules or a class of closely related molecules
  3. biosynthesis of the transport systems are highly regulated by the cells
22
Q

how nutrients are acquire in

  1. multicellular organisms
  2. unicellular (bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes)
A
  1. by diffusion or facilitated transport (from blood/plasma) since the concentration is high in the blood
  2. by active transport
23
Q

facilitated diffusion - 2 characteristics of channel-mediated

A
  1. specificity is relatively low

2. can be close by the cell (gated channel)

24
Q

facilitated diffusion- 3 characteristics of the carrier-mediated

A
  1. the binding of the substrate on one side of the membrane induces a conformational change in the carrier
  2. the substrate is released on the other side
  3. tends to be more specific than the channel-mediated diffusion
25
Q

3 types of active transport + small definition of each

A
  1. simple transport: driven by the energy in the proton motive force
  2. group translocation: chemical modification of the transported substances driven by phosphoenolpyruvate
  3. ABC transporters: periplasmicbinding proteins are involved and energy comes from ATP
26
Q

what is the periplasmic

A

space between the inner and the outer membrane of the Gram-negative bacteria

27
Q

3 types of simple transport

A
  1. uniporter (only one type of molecule in one direction)
  2. symporter (2 different molecules in the same direction)
  3. antiporter (2 different molecules in opposite direction)
28
Q

one example of antiporter and one of symporter

A

antiporter: sodium-proton which brings H+ in the cell and Na+ out
symporter: lac permease which H+ and lactose inside the cell

29
Q

what happens during group translocation

A

the substrate will be modified as it passes through the transporter accross the membrane.
For example, the glucose will become the glucose-6-phosphate when it comes out of the transporter, which is the first step of glycolytic pathway in prokaryotes

30
Q

the best characterized group translocation system is ______ and it is used by what

A

phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system
it is used by bacteria to transport common monosaccharides such as glucose, mannose, fructose

31
Q

why the glucose use the group translocation (why it is a good solution)

A

because the glucose has a tendency to diffuse out of the cell so want way to keep it inside is to give it a charge (phosphorylates) so it will not be able to pass through the membrane anymore

32
Q

in group translocation, what is the sequence of enzymes (in order) that pass the phosphate group of the phosphoenolpyruvate + where are these enzymes

A
  1. Enz 1 to HPr (non-specific cytoplasmic components)
  2. Enx 11a to Enz 11b (specific components in the cytoplasmic membrane)
  3. Enz 11c (in the membrane)
33
Q

3 components of the ABC transporters (ATP-binding cassette)

A
  1. a substrate-specific binding protein that has a very high affinity for a specific substrate (or a class of substrates)
  2. a membrane-spanning protein, the active transport carrier
  3. an ATP-hydrolyzing protein that provides the energy for the active transport
34
Q

what do the binding-protein in ABC transporters and what is the concentration that it can bind its substrate

A

it binds to its substrate and transfers it to the transporter.
it can bind its substrate at very low concentration: less than 10^-6 M

35
Q

where are the binding-protein in Gram positive and negative bacteria

A

positive: anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane
negative: free in the periplasm

36
Q

what happens when the respiration is not possible for bacteria and archaea

A

we use ATPases to create proton motive force (since there is no electron transport chain). ATPase are reversible.

37
Q

Pmf-dpendent transporters are what (which type of transporters)

A

antoporter and symporters that use the proton gradient

38
Q

pmf has a chemical and an electrical components. what are they

A

electrical: due to the difference in charge
chemical: due to the difference of in concentration (of protons or sodium) so it when we have the protn gradient

39
Q

how do we know was is the driven force of the pmf

A
  1. look at the transport mechanism (ex: peoton-anion symporter)
  2. look at the net charge (ex:0)
    * * if the net charge is 0, the electrical components does not have a role in the driven force
    * * if there is no proton (for H+ transporter) or no Na+ (for Na+ transporter), the chemical gradient does not have a role!!
40
Q

what happens for the transport in unicellular eukaryotes-pmf

A

since the pmf is created inside the mitochondria, a pmf needs to be created at the level of the cytoplasmic membrane. For that, a P-type ATPase (a proton-translocating ATPase) uses ATP to pump out protons.
The pmf creates at the cytoplasmic membrane can now be used to power-up symporters in the cytoplasmic membrane

41
Q

type of ATPase in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and number of H+ pump out per ATP

A

eukaryote: P-type ATPase = 1H+/ATP hydrolyzed

prokaryotes/mitochondria: F-type ATPase = 3 H+/ ATP hydrolyzed

42
Q

3 types of endocytosis and what is essential to make it happens

A
  • actin filaments
  • phagocytosis: for large and solid molecules, called a phagosomes when there is food vacuole that is create
  • pinocytosis: non-specific, take extracellular fluid with molecules inside and form vesicle
  • receptor-mediated endocytosis: specific, there is coat protein, form coated vesicle
43
Q

role of NADPH

A

used as a reducing power in most anabolic reactions
