Q

H-H equation for bicarbonate system

A

pH = 6.1 + log [HCO3-]mM/ .03Pco2mmHg

pH = 6.1 + log 24 mM/ .03 X 40mmHg
pH = 6.1 + log 24/ 1.2
pH = 6.1 + log 20 = 7.4!

24
Q

GPI linkage location

A

Extracellular face

25
Q

Regulated Intramembrane Proteolysis

A

o Cleavage of bHLH from SREBP sometimes cuts in transmembrane domain
o Critical for Notch signaling and development
o Important for cleavage of APP protein to produce B-amyloid peptide in Alzheimer’s disease

26
Q

Proteins involved in RIP of bHLH

A

S1P and S2P

Two step protellysis

27
Q

) HIV - Gp41 protein mechanism

A

Brings transmembrane domain and fusogenic pepetide domain close together  fp imbedded into membrane

28
Q

Regulation of specificity for viral fusion comes at the ___ level

A

Activation

29
Q

Influenza viral fusion mechanism

A
  • Binds plasma membrane of any cell, and gets internalized into lysosome
  • Drop in pH of lysosome triggers activation of influenza
  • Stable metastable conformation triggered by low pH
  • Not cell specific, but timing specific
30
Q

HIV viral fusion mechanism

A
  • Fuses with plasma membrane and GP41 and GP120 recognize and binds to CD4  change conformation activating GP41
  • Regulated by binding to CD4 receptor HIV only recognizes CD4 containing cells
31
Q

Donnan rule

A

[K+]o [Cl-]o = [K+]i [Cl-]i

32
Q

Describe why, in neurons and other excitable cells, membrane potential is sensitive to small changes in [K+]o, but not [Na+]o.

A

o Cell is more sensitive to [K+] because its starting concentration outside the cell is much smaller than Na+, and thus is much more sensitive to small changes in concentration

39
Q

Consequences of demyelination in MS

A
  • Change resting potential
    • harder to depolarize due to constant leak of K+ out of cell
