Membrane Transport II (Lecture 10) Flashcards
True or False: GLUT receptors undergo conformational changes while aquaporins do not.
True
Protein-mediated transport is faster than simple diffusion, highly specific, and the transport rate is limited by the number of transporters (____) and transporter affinity (____) for the molecule/ion
Vmax, Km
True or False: In ATP powered pumps, One or more bindings sites for ATP located on regions facing the inner lumen.
False, facing the cytosol
What are the four classes of ATP-powered pumps
P-class V-class F-class ABC superfamily
______ and ______ class pumps mostly transport H+ only, no phosphoprotein intermediate
V and F
______ pumps transport a wide array of substrates, including toxins, drugs, phospholipids, peptides, and proteins, into or out of the cell
ABC superfsmily
______ pumps are found in vacuolar membranes in plants, yeast and other fungi.
V-class
______ pumps are found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, bacterial plasma membrane and thylakoid membrane.
F-class
______ pumps transfer amino acids, sugars and peptides.
ABC superfamily
P-class pumps have ______ α subunits and ______ β subunits.
2,2
True or False: P-class pumps are often involved with generating ion gradients across membranes (ie. Na+, K+, Ca2+)
True
______ generally function to generate the low pH of plant vacuoles and of lysosomes and other acidic vesicles in animal cells by pumping protons from the cytosolic to the exoplasmic face of the membrane against a proton electrochemical gradient.
V-class pumps
______ are reverse proton pumps, also called ATP synthases
F-class
What does ABC stand for in pumps?
ATP-binding cassette
ABC pumps have two transmembrane ______ domains; form passageway
for cargo to pass through the membrane and Two cytosolic ATP-binding ______ domains; bind and hydrolyze ATP
