Cell Membrane Structure and

Function

Cystic Fibrosis

•most common autosomal recessive disease affecting Caucasian populations – •incidence of 1 in 2000 births

•Clinical features – •pulmonary obstruction and infection – •recurrent and persistent infections – •exocrine pancreatic dysfunction – •infertility, especially in males

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Diagnosis

• failure to thrive -child fails to gain weight despite a good appetite

• sweat test -chloride concentration greater than 60 meq/liter

• life expectancy now often >30 years

• this was the disease most people thought would be a good candidate for gene therapy

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Metabolic Basis of Disease

• defect in a single gene on chromosome 7 that encodes a cAMP-regulated chloride channel

• called Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR)

• resides on the apical surface of epithelial cells lining the airways, intestines, vas deferens, sweat ducts, and pancreatic ducts

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Genetics and Epidemiology

• autosomal recessive

• 4-5% of Americans have at least one CF allele

• >900 different mutations (.F508, ~70% of CF alleles)

• ~50% of the patients are homozygous for the .F508 mutation

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Consequences of Disease

• Loss of CFTR function

– fluid secretion is insufficient

– protein portions of the secretions become viscous

– results in obstruction in the ducts and eventual organ dysfunction

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lung Disease• accounts for much of the morbidity and nearly all the

mortality from the disease

• bacterial infections become soon after birth, and remain difficult to stop

• Pseudomonas aeruginosais the main agent in patients 18 or older

• bacterial resistance to antibiotics results in mucoid coating of lungs, and subsequent decline in lung

Membrane Functions

• Isolate the cell’s contents from the external environment

• Regulate traffic in and out of the cell

• Communicate with other cells

II. Plasma membrane structure and functions

The phospholipid bilayer and isolation

1. Impermeable to water-soluble and polar molecules, ions

2. Permeable to small and nonpolar molecules

3. Lipids oriented with polar heads facing out

Membrane Structure and Function

• Membranes are “fluid mosaics” with proteins embedded in or attached to the membrane

• Proteins can move within the fluid lipid bilayer

Types of Membrane Proteins

1. Transport proteins

– regulate the movement of water-soluble molecules across the membrane

• Channel proteins

• Carrier proteins

2. Receptor Proteins

• trigger cellular response when specific molecules bind to them

Types of Membrane Proteins

3. Recognition proteins

• act as ID tags and cell surface attachment sites

– the immune system

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• Key Classes of Membrane Proteins •• A.Transport channels-Intergral

– 1. Membrane selects what substances will enter – 2. Take up molecules present in high concentration– 3 Part of protein extends through bilayer – 4. May be non polar helix beta-pleated sheets of non polar

amino acids – 5. Non polar portion held within interior of bilayer – 6. Polar ends protrude from both sides of membrane

• B. Enzymes – 1. Chemical reactions carried out on interior surface of

membrane • 2. Enzymes attached directly to membrane-carry out actions within the cell

• 3. Cell surface receptors-glycoproteins, glycolipids, oligosaccharides

– a. Membranes sensitive to chemical messages – b. Receptor proteins on surface act as antennae-

interpresurroundings– c. Receptors for extra cellular signals are

also single-pass anchors – d. Portion of receptor that sticks outward

binds with molecules – e. Binding induces changes in part of protein

on the inside

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• C. Glycoproteins-MH-ID tags -recognition

– a.self recognition-cells to other cells – b. Creates proteins/carb chains shaped for specific person

– c. self recognition– 2. Glycolipid-

» a. Tissue recognition» b. Lipid/carb chain» c. Specific for each tissue» d. Blood types

• D. Cell adhesion proteins – a. Cells use certain proteins to glue

themselves to one another – b. Some are detachable, others are permanent

• 4. Attachments to the cytoplasm-peripheral – a. Surface proteins may interact with other

cells – b. Often linked to cytoskeleton by proteins

The Extracellular Matrix

• Structure: – Glycoproteins– Collagen– Glycolipids

• Functions:– Support, adhesion, movement– In Embryonic development - guides

movement of cells

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Intracellular Junctions

Tight junctions– Epithelial cells (surface): Seal cells together

– Prevent molecules from ‘leaking’ through between cells --> Keep integral proteins in place

• Adherins junctions:– Transmembrane proteins that span 2 cells

– Hold cardiac cells together

– May be responsible for contact inhibition

• _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

More junctions

• Gap Junctions: permit flow of substances b/w cells flow of ions – allow all cells of heart to contract @ same time– allow muscles in uterus to contract simultaneously during

childbirth

• Desmosomes: patches that hold cells together– Breakdown of desmosomes may contribute to metastasis of

cancer

• Plasmodesmata:– Allow for continuous stream of cytoplasm b/w plant cells

Transport across membranes

• Passive transport is a function of molecular size, lipid solubility, and size of the concentration gradient

1. Simple diffusion
