DLA 1-3 Flashcards
What are the three major classes of lipids in the cell membrane?
phospholipid
cholesterol
glycolipid
PM have two types of proteins?
integral- in or pass through bilayer
peripheral - one side of the bilayer
What are the 6 integral membrane proteins?
- pumps,carriers, transporters
- channels
- receptors
- linker
- enzymes
- structural
What is a glycocalyx and what is its purpose?
it is a carbohydrate rich region containing glycolipids, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans
Function:
- protection
- cell recognition
- cell to cell interaction
What are the three types of endocytosis?
- pinocytosis
- phagocytosis
- receptor-mediated
what types of endocytosis are clathrin independent?
pinocytosis and phagocytosis
Is receptor-mediated endocytosis clatherin independent or dependent?
clatherin dependent
What are the two kinds of exocytosis?
regulated (secretory cells)
constitutive (no stimulus)
What are the four different types of receptor mediated endocytosis?
1 .Receptor recycled, ligand degraded
- Receptor and ligand degraded
- Receptor and ligand recycled
- Receptor and ligand transcytosis
Example of receptor recycled, ligand degraded
LDL receptor
Insulin-glucose transporter receptor
Example of Receptor and ligand degraded
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) & receptor
Example of Receptor and ligand recycled
Iron, transferrin & transferrin receptor
• Major histocompatibility complex I & II
Example of Receptor and ligand transcytosis
Secretion of immunoglobulins (secretory IgA) into saliva
• Secretion of maternal IgG into milk
What are steps of phagocytosis?
- particle binds to PM receptor (antibody)
- Extension of pseudopods (actin polymerization)
- phagosome fuses with lysosome (digestion)
- residual body (indigestible substances)
How does receptor mediated endocytosis work?
- clathrin molecule interact with adaptin
- clathrin forms a cage (drives vesicle formation)
- dynamin mediates the pinching off of the vesicle
What are the pathways to lysosomal digestion?
- phagocytosis
- endocytosis
- autophagy (self-eating) (autophagosome is formed)
Describe the proteosome?
used for protein degradation
ATP dependent
no lysosome needed
How are proteins sent to the proteosome?
They are tagged with ubiquitin
What is the partition coefficient?
It is used to measure the lipophilicity of molecules
how a substance partitions itself between two immiscible substances
What is the partition coefficient equation?
conc of substance in oil / conc. of substance in water
the scale is 0-1 for Partition coefficient?
1 = substance will equally exist as a solute in water and oil
greater than 1 = substance is lipophilic and can pass membrane
less than 1 = only soluble in water and cannot pass membrane easily
What is the permeability coefficient?
The degree, in which, a substance can pass through a membrane
scale for the permeability coefficient?
1 = will pass membrane easily
0 = cannot pass the membrane
What is the reflection coefficient?
How easily a substance can cross a membrane based on reflection
The scale for the RC?
1 = does not pass membrane
0 = passes membrane
Epithelial transport?
Solute transport across the two membranes of cells that line hollow organs or tubes in order to reach the blood from the lumen or vice versa
pass through the apical membrane and basolateral membrane
What is absorption?
movement of solutes/fluid from lumen to blood
What is secretion?
movement of solutes/fluid from blood to lumen
