transport-2 Flashcards
what kind of channel is the chloride channel in S. typhimurium
anion
where are the channels in the chloride channel in S. typhimurium
through the center of each subunit, not at interfrace
what kind of “mer: structure in the chloride channel in S. typhimurium
homodimer
how many helices in the chloride channel in S. typhimurium + how are they oriented
18 transmembrane alpha helices, tilted relative to membrane
what creates the selectivity filter in the chloride channel in S. typhimurium
alpha helices (N terminal dipole) and OH containing amino acids(Ser tyr)
are there positive in the chloride channel in S. typhimurium and why
no because then the anion will just stick to it
what do aquaporins do
allow for cross-membrane movement of water, excluding other solutes and H+ (H3O+)
what kind of “mer” are aquaporins
homotetramer
what kind of helices in aquaporins
multiple transmembrane alpha helices
where are water channels formed in aqua porins
at the center of each subunit
what is the symmetry in aqua porins
C4
what kind of “mer” are Cl- channels
dimer
what kind of “mer” are K+ channels
tetra
where are channels formed in K+
between subunits
where are channels formed in Cl-
within subunits
are K+ channels polytopic helical bundles
yes
are Cl- channels polytopic helical bundles
yes
what is the movement in aquaporis like
proton movement via proton jumping is prevented by Hbonding interactions in the channel
what prevents proton jumping in aquaporins
H bonding interactions in the channel
what does GLUT1 do/what is it
passive carrier for D-glucose
how many helices in GLUT1
12 transmembrane
what do lots of the transmembrane helices contain in GLUT1
polar amino acids
is GLUT1 polytopic
yes
how many domains in GLUT1 and what are they like
2 domains with 6helices each
how many aa per turn in helix
3.6
what phobicity are transmembrane alpha helices generally
hydrophobic
where is the binding site of the solute usually
midway through membrane
what are the arrangement of amino acids in amphipathic helices
polar and non polar on opposite faces
- non polar towards lipid core
- polar towards inside of passage through the center
where will non polar regions be in amphipathic helices
oriented towards the lipid core
where will polar regions be in amphipathic helices
in the center to create a polar passage
does GLUT1 have continuous passage from one side of the membrane to the other and why
no because its a carrier
what does binding of glucose to GLUT1 cause
conformational shift leading to binding site being opened to the interior
what is GLUT1 transport dependent on
rate of steps in the process (kinetics of binding and conformational rearrangement)
what is rate of transport in carries analogous to
michaelis menten enzyme kinetics (similar equation)
what is Kt
concentration of colute where Vo=0.5Vmax
what is K1 for GLUT1 compared to blood glucose levels
K1 is smaller
what does Kt reflect with specificity and GLUT1
specific interactions between the carrier and the OH groups in D-glucose
is Kt bigger or smaller with L or D glucose
bigger with L glucose by a lot
