6 Major Functions Of Membrane 6 Major Functions Of Membrane ProteinsProteins
1. Transport. (left) A protein that spans the membrane may provide a hydrophilic channel across the membrane that is selective for a particular solute. (right) Other transport proteins shuttle a substance from one side to the other by changing shape. Some of these proteins hydrolyze ATP as an energy ssource to actively pump substances across the membrane
2. Enzymatic activity. A protein built into the membrane may be an enzyme with its active site exposed to substances in the adjacent solution. In some cases, several enzymes in a membrane are organized as a team that carries out sequential steps of a metabolic pathway.
3. Signal transduction. A membrane protein may have a binding site with a specific shape that fits the shape of a chemical messenger, such as a hormone. The external messenger (signal) may cause a conformational change in the protein (receptor) that relays the message to the inside of the cell.

Intercellular joining. Membrane proteins of adjacent cellsmay hook together in various kinds of junctions, such asgap junctions or tight junctions
Attachment to the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix(ECM). Microfilaments or other elements of thecytoskeleton may be bonded to membrane proteins, a function that helps maintain cell shape and stabilizes the location of certain membrane proteins.

Review: Passive And Active Transport ComparedReview: Passive And Active Transport Compared
Passive transport. Substances diffuse spontaneously down their concentration gradients, crossing a membrane with no expenditure of energy by the cell. The rate of diffusion can be greatly increased by transport proteins in the membrane.
Active transport. Some transport proteins act as pumps, moving substances across a membrane against their concentration gradients. Energy for this work is usually supplied by ATP.
Diffusion. Hydrophobicmolecules and (at a slow rate) very small uncharged polar molecules can diffuse through the lipid bilayer.
Facilitated diffusion. Many hydrophilic substances diffuse through membranes with the assistance of transport proteins,either channel or carrier proteins.

In pinocytosis, the cell “gulps” droplets of extracellular fluid into tinyvesicles. It is not the fluiditself that is needed by the cell, but the molecules dissolved in the droplet. Because any and all included solutes are taken into the cell, pinocytosisis nonspecific in the substances it transports.

Coatprotein
Receptor-mediated endocytosis enables the cell to acquire bulk quantities of specific substances, even though those substances may not be very concentrated in the extracellular fluid. Embedded in the membrane are proteins with specific receptor sites exposed to the extracellular fluid. The receptor proteins are usually already clustered in regions of the membrane called coated pits, which are lined on their cytoplasmic side by a fuzzy layer of coat proteins. Extracellular substances (ligands) bind to these receptors. When binding occurs, the coated pit forms a vesicle containing the ligand molecules. Notice that there are relatively more bound molecules (purple) inside the vesicle, other molecules (green) are also present. After this ingested material is liberated from the vesicle, the receptors are recycled to the plasma membrane by the same vesicle.

Gap junctions (also called communicatingjunctions) provide cytoplasmic channels fromone cell to an adjacent cell. Gap junctions consist of special membrane proteins that surround a pore through which ions, sugars,amino acids, and other small molecules maypass. Gap junctions are necessary for commu-nication between cells in many types of tissues,including heart muscle and animal embryos.

Endomembrane System• Compartmentalizes cell, channeling passage
of molecules through cell’s interior.– Endoplasmic reticulum
Rough ER - studded with ribosomes Smooth ER - few ribosomes
53
Rough ER• Rough ER is especially abundant in cells that secrete proteins.
– As a polypeptide is synthesized on a ribosome attached to rough ER, it is threaded into the cisternal space through a pore formed by a protein complex in the ER membrane.
– As it enters the cisternal space, the new protein folds into its native conformation.– Most secretory polypeptides are glycoproteins, proteins to which a carbohydrate is
attached.– Secretory proteins are packaged in transport vesicles that carry them to their next stage.
• Rough ER is also a membrane factory.– Membrane-bound proteins are synthesized directly into the membrane.– Enzymes in the rough ER also synthesize phospholipids from precursors in the cytosol.– As the ER membrane expands, membrane can be transferred as transport vesicles to other
components of the endomembrane system.
54
Smooth ER• The smooth ER is rich in enzymes and plays a role in a variety of metabolic processes.• Enzymes of smooth ER synthesize lipids, including oils, phospholipids, and steroids.• These include the sex hormones of vertebrates and adrenal steroids.• In the smooth ER of the liver, enzymes help detoxify poisons and drugs such as
alcohol and barbiturates.• Smooth ER stores calcium ions.
Muscle cells have a specialized smooth ER that pumps calcium ions from the cytosol and stores them in its cisternal space.
When a nerve impulse stimulates a muscle cell, calcium ions rush from the ER into the cytosol, triggering contraction.
55
The Golgi apparatus• The Golgi apparatus is the shipping and receiving center for cell
products.– Many transport vesicles from the ER travel to the Golgi apparatus for
modification of their contents.– The Golgi is a center of manufacturing, warehousing, sorting, and
shipping.– The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membranous sacs—
cisternae—looking like a stack of pita bread.– The Golgi sorts and packages materials into transport vesicles.

• Each cilium and flagellum has a basal body at its base.
