PM: nrg dependent transport Flashcards
How do cells accumulate small hydrohpillic molecules like ions, aa, sugars
must be take into cell up their [gradient]
What is required to take ions, aa, sugars through PM
nrg and protein transporter
Describe protein transporters
highly specific, become saturated at high [] of solute, some can transport solutes out of cytoplasm
nrg dependent systems are divided into 3 categories called
primary transport system, secondary and group translocation
What does primary transport system use for nrg
ATP as source of nrg
What does secondary transport system use for nrg
ion gradient
What does group translocation use as nrg
differs from other 2 b/c solute is chemically modified during transport
What is ATP binding cassette system
primary transport uses ATP
Fn if SBP
SBP binds specifically to a few related solutes
What are the transporters of ABC in gram -ive bacteria
they have 2 domains, the peripheral domain is located on the cytoplasmic side of PM, called the nucleotide binding domain. the integral PM domain forms a pore or permease
What is a domain
portion of polypeptide with its own tertiary structure and fn
What is the fn of ABC transporters
small solutes can pass freely through OM proteins called porins
What happens to the solute once it’s in the periplasm (ABC)
solute binds to specific solute binding protein, binding causes SBP to chage confromation, SBP solute complex can now bind to ABC transporter
What happens after SBP solute complex binds to ABC transporter?
SBP stimulates ATP hydrolysis by the NBD, providing nrg for uptake of solute, but not the SBP through the transport
What is the ABC like in gram +ive ?
SBP is a peripheral protein located on outer surface of PM
