Jeuken Flashcards
How is water transported into a cell?
down 55M gradient by free diffusion or facilitated diffusion through aquaporins
for simple diffusion: -Gibbs can be what kind of movement regarding electrochemical or concentration gradient?
down concentration gradient or up concentration gradient if down electrochemical gradient
what substances can move by free diffusion?
lipophiles and gases dissolved in solvents
what is partition?
hydrophobicity
aminos-sugars-aliphatics have _ _creasing permeability and hydrophobicity
increasing
what are the 4 types of protein transporters?
Ion channels, ATP powered pumps, transporters, pores
How many strands make up a beta-barrel
8-22 strands, mostly homotrimers of 16-18 strands
beta-barrels are used for what tpe of transport
pores for simple diffusion
ompX is a beta barrel for what function?
membrane bound adhesion receptor
lipocalin retinoid receptor is what type of protein?
soluble beta-barrel
which residues are exposed at beta-barrel faces?
~40% aromatics interact with phospholipids
where are TM beta barrel pores found?
mitochondria, chloroplast, gram negative bacteria
what do Omp proteins do?
pores in E.coli with weak cation selectivity provided by acidic residues in the filter.
what are the examples of b-barrel pores?
PhoE, Omp, Lamb, FepA&FhuA
What are the 2 types of simple diffusion proteins?
Gap junctions, beta barrels
what is the structure of a gap junction?
6 subunits x 4TM alpha helices. Phosphorylation regulates opening, connexin mixtures regulate pore size
What are the 4 classes of ATP powered pumps?
P, V, F ATPases; ABC
what energy drives active transport?
Voltage gradient or ATP
what is the structure of P class ATPases?
2 independent, identical alpha subunits containing pump, Aspartate for phosphorylation and ATP binding domain.
What is the mechanism of active transport proteins?
Alternating access driven by ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation altering conformation and substrate affinity.
What is the structure of ABC transporters?
1-4 peptides with 2 cytoplasmic NDB, 2 TM domains totalling 6 helices up, 6 helices down.
What are examples of ABC transporters?
Mdr1 (multi drug),
MalK (maltose),
CFTR,
BtuC (Vitamin B12)
