The plasma membrane • The boundary that separates the living cell from its
surroundings
• The plasma membrane exhibits selective permeability, allowing some substances to cross it more easily than others

However…
• The membrane isn’t just a phospholipid bilayer
• It is composed of a huge array of phospholipids, regular lipids, proteins, and other molecules
• This is called the fluid mosaic model

Fluid Mosaic Model
• The fluid mosaic model states that a membrane is a fluid structure with a “mosaic” of various proteins embedded in it
• Phospholipids and some proteins can drift laterally – Very rarely does someone “flip”
• How do proteins stay embedded?

What factors influence fluidity?
• Membranes start solidifying at cool temps
• The temperature at which a membrane solidifies depends on the degree of saturation in the fatty acid tails
– Membranes rich in unsaturated fatty acids are more fluid than those rich in saturated fatty acids
• Membranes must be fluid to work properly; they are usually about as fluid as salad oil

Cholesterol • Cholesterol is a “fluidity buffer”
– Restrains phospholipid movement at body temps
– Also hinder close packing, so lowers the temp required for membranes to solidify

Membrane Proteins
• A membrane’s function is defined by the proteins embedded in it
• Two types of membrane proteins: – Integral protein
• Penetrate the hydrophobic interior; can stick out of the surface
• Integral proteins that span the membrane are called transmembrane proteins
– Peripheral protein • Stick to the surface of the membrane
![Page 19: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Membrane carbohydrates in cell-cell recognition
• Cells recognize each other by binding to surface molecules, often containing carbohydrates, on the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane
• Membrane carbohydrates may be covalently
bonded to lipids (forming glycolipids) or more commonly to proteins (forming glycoproteins)
• Carbohydrates on the external side of the plasma
membrane vary among species, individuals, and even cell types in an individual
![Page 23: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Membrane proteins in cell-cell recognition
• Membrane proteins help HIV invade immune system cells
• HIV’s gp120 protein binds to human’s CD4 glycoprotein + CCR5 coreceptor
![Page 24: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
CCR5-Δ32 Mutation • The CCR5-Δ32 mutation deletes the CCR5
coreceptor, preventing HIV from infecting cells
• Present in 10% of people from Northern Europe
• Marrow transplantation from an immune donor confers immunity
– Immune system cells come from bone marrow
– Clinical trials underway to treat HIV+ people with their own genetically engineered marrow
• Those without CCR5 are more susceptible to West Nile Virus

The ABO blood group
• Your genes determine what kind of carbohydrate you get on the surface of your red blood cells
• Three types of glycoproteins: A, B, O
• Your body recognizes a “not you” group, gets mad, and destroys the cell bearing it

Selective permeability
• Nonpolar molecules can dissolve in the lipid bilayer and pass through indiscriminately – Carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrocarbons
• Hydrophobic membrane interior prevents polar molecules from easily crossing
• Transport proteins help the helpless – Allow hydrophilic substances to pass through
• So…selective permeability depends both on the lipid bilayer and on the transport proteins

Passive vs. active transport across the membrane
• In some cases molecules will spontaneously diffuse across the membrane
– Passive transport
• Other molecules require a protein or other force to bring them across the membrane
– Active transport
![Page 33: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Diffusion
• Passive transport
• Molecules tend to diffuse out evenly into available space due to random movements
• A substance will diffuse where it is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated – Diffuse down its diffusion gradient
– “The region along which the density of a chemical substance increases or decreases”
– Spontaneous, no energy input required

Diffusion of water - Osmosis
• Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
• Water diffuses across a membrane from the region of lower solute concentration to the region of higher solute concentration until the solute concentration is equal on both sides
![Page 37: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

What happens in cells without walls? Hypertonic or hypotonic environments create osmotic problems for organisms
![Page 39: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
…and cells with walls?
• Cell walls help maintain water balance
• A plant cell in a hypotonic solution swells until it hits the wall; the cell is now turgid (firm)
• If a plant cell and its surroundings are isotonic, there is no net movement of water into the cell; the cell becomes flaccid (limp), and the plant may wilt
• In a hypertonic environment, plant cells lose water; the membrane pulls away from the wall, a usually lethal effect called plasmolysis
• (Lysed means the plasma membrane has broken)
![Page 40: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
If you don’t water your plant…(or yourself)
• Water osmoses out of the plant cells and evaporates, turning the entire plant limp
![Page 41: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Reverse osmosis: turning seawater drinkable
• Drawing salt out of seawater is called desalination
• Pressure applied to seawater forces it through a semipermeable membrane
• The membrane allows water through, but not solutes
![Page 42: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Osmosis Vocabulary
• Tonicity is the ability of a surrounding solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water
• Isotonic solution: Solute concentration is the same as that inside the cell; no net water movement across the plasma membrane
• Hypertonic solution: Solute concentration is greater than that inside the cell; cell loses water
• Hypotonic solution: Solute concentration is less than that inside the cell; cell gains water

Facilitated Diffusion • Transport proteins speed the passive movement of
molecules across the plasma membrane
• Channel proteins provide corridors that allow a specific molecule or ion to cross the membrane.
• Channel proteins include
– Aquaporins, for facilitated diffusion of water • 3 billion water molecules/second
– Ion channels that open or close in response to a stimulus (AKA ion-gated channels)
• Carrier proteins undergo a conformational change that brings the molecule from one side to the other

Active transport
• Uses energy to move molecules against their gradients
• All carrier proteins
• Includes ion pumps and endocytosis/exocytosis
![Page 47: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The electrochemical gradient and ion pumps
• All cells have voltages across their membranes – Voltage is electrical potential energy – a separation of
two opposite charges
– Called a membrane potential
– Inside of the cell is -50 to -200millivolts because of a higher proportion of anions:cations
– “The cytoplasmic side is negative relative to the outside because of unequal distribution of cations and anions”
• The membrane potential favors cations passively diffusing across – Anions must use active transport
![Page 48: Lecture 6 - Membranes - North Seattle Collegefacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 6.pdf · In this lecture … •The fluid ... Passive vs. active transport across the membrane](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5add33827f8b9ae1408ca2a1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• So two forces actually drive the diffusion of ions across a membrane: the concentration gradient and electrical force – Does not apply to solutes like glucose, only charged
ions
• Combination of the two forces is called the electrochemical gradient
• Cells create an electrochemical gradient by pumping ions inside or outside the cell

Cotransport: changing between different types of potential energy
• A substance that has been pumped across the membrane can do work as it moves back across by diffusion – Water pumped uphill that spins a turbine as it
flows back down
• A cotransport protein can couple the “downhill” passive diffusion to a second “uphill” active transport of a different substance

Cotransporters in diarrhea • Bodily fluid high in salt is pumped into the
intestine to help digestion
• Normally sodium in waste is reabsorbed in the colon
• With diarrhea, waste is expelled so rapidly sodium cannot be reabsorbed fast enough and levels fall to dangerous levels
• A salt-glucose solution is administered, which is taken up by sodium-glucose cotransporters
• Mortality rate of cholera (causes massive diarrhea) dropped from 70% to 30% after we figured out to administer this hypertonic solution

Receptor-mediated endocytosis and HIV
• Viruses infect our cells by attaching to cell-surface receptors meant for receptor-mediated endocytosis
– They ‘fool’ the receptor by mimicking the natural protein that would usually bind
– HIV’s gp120 protein binds to a white blood cell’s CD4 and CCR5 protein
• Triggers endocytosis of the HIV virus
Gp120 is a glycoprotein
