Exam Review Flashcards
phospholipids spin and diffuse ______ within the plane of the membrane
laterally
how do we measure lateral diffusion?
FRAP
FRAP stands for?
fluorescence recovery after photo bleaching
FRET stands for?
Forster resonance energy transfe
describe FRAP
Start with fluorochrome such as GFP tagged transmembrane, uses a high intensity light to bleach the GFP in certain patch of membrane until it no longer fluoresces,
if proteins are moving the bleached and unbleached proteins will exchange positions over time
describe FRET
measure distance between fluorochromes, requires a pair of fluorescent proteins where emission wavelength of first is near the excitation wavelength of the second, efficiency of this energy transfer is proportional to the distance between fluorochromes, fret reveals protein interactions
the cytosolic face always faces the ______
cytoplasm
the exoplasmic face always faces the ______ ______ or _____ ______
cellular exterior, interior lumen
what is the orientation of phospholipids?
hydrophilic water loving head toward a membrane surface and its hydrophobic water hating tail toward the membrane interior
what are the 3 sterols?
cholesterol, ergosterol and stigmasterol
where are phospholipids synthesized?
cytosolic face of endoplasmic reticulum
a phospholipid is found in the exoplasmic face of plasma membrane during _____ _______ and requires _______?
lipid trafficking and requires flippases
sphingomylein is synthesized on the exoplasmic face of __________
golgi complex
positivel charged ___ and ____ residues near the cytosolic side of the helix binds negatively charged phospholipid head groups as the anchor
Arg and Lys
cytosolic and exoplasmic domains are ______
hydrophilic
detergents are ________
ampipathic
the rate of diffusion across a pure phospholipid barrier is proportional to _____, _______ and _______
[ ] , hydrophobicity and size
synthesis od secreted proteins, integral plasma membrane proteins and proteins destined for the ER begin on ________ faces
cytosolic
