Intro to cell II Flashcards
Lipid Bilayer PM hydrophobicity
Amphilic=Amphipathic
Hydrohobic lipids in inner
Hydrophilic groups face external
Integral membrane proteins
Traverse entire width of cell membrane
Peripheral membrane proteins
Attached to extracellular regions of PM noncovalently
What happens to proteins when separate lipid bilayer
Integral proteins associate with one leaflet or the other
Faces of PM
E and P faces
P face has many more interactions with proteins-actin
RBC membrane proteins
Stabilized by spectrin and other cytoskeletal proteins (actin)-why so many proteins are on P face
Hereditary spherocytosis
Spherical/less deformable/more susceptible to destruction by phagocytic cells-RBCs-spectrin mutations
-essentially use SPECTRINS to keep membrane shape and ensure no problems with extracellular osmolarity
Four types of membrane proteins
Linker/anchor
Transporter
Receptors-signalling
Enzymes
Brush border
Microvilli boarder
-example of one of mods PMs can have
Cell adherence is possible w/
Junctional complexes
Glycocalyx
Fuzzy coat on tips of microvilli
Enteric surface coat
Created from several glycosylated molecules at surface of cell
Glycosylation occurs in RER
Consists of glycolipids, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans
What stabilizes microvilli?
Actin-cytoplasm surrounds finger like projection of actin bundle
Terminal web
Filamentous complex at top of cells where actin of villi terminate
Myosin in microvilli
Move material down microvili
Terminal bars
identify locations of junctional complex
