2Eukaryotic cell reminders
• Eukaryotic cells have a variety of compartments– Membrane-bound organelles, carry out functions– DNA in nucleus. NO NUCLEUS in Prokaryotes!
• Mitochondrion is an enslaved bacterium– Inner and outer membrane like a Gram – bacterium– Mitochondrion has its own DNA and ribosomes– It is the same size as a bacterium.
• Lysozome is an organelle– Contains various digestive enzymes– Important part of WBC’s defenses against bacteria
3How things get in (and out) of cells
• Eukaryotic cells– Have transport proteins in membrane– Have a cytoskeleton made of microtubules
• Allows for receptor mediated endocytosis, phagotcytosis, etc.
• Cell membrane pinches in, creates vesicle
• Prokaryotic cells– Have a stiff cell wall– Can NOT carry out endocytosis– Entry of materials into cell by diffusion or transport
processes ONLY.
4• Ann. Review of Biophysics and Biomolecular StructureVol. 33: 177-198 January 7, 2004
• MOLECULES OF THE BACTERIAL CYTOSKELETON
• Jan Löwe, Fusinita van den Ent, and Linda A. Amos
• The structural elucidation of clear but distant homologs of actin and tubulin in bacteria and GFP labeling of these proteins promises to reinvigorate the field of prokaryotic cell biology.

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Only eukaryotes.
6Type of molecule affects transport
• Small molecules can pass through a lipid bilayer– Water; otherwise, no osmosis
– Gases such as O2 and CO2
• Lipid molecules can– Dissolve in lipid bilayer, pass through membrane– Many antibiotics, drugs are lipid soluble
• Larger, hydrophilic molecules cannot– Ions, sugars, amino acids cannot pass through lipids– Transport proteins required
7Transport through membranes
• Simple diffusion– Molecules travel down concentration gradient– Membrane is not a barrier to their passage
• Facilitated diffusion– Molecules travel down concentration gradient– Cannot pass through lipid bilayer; their passage is
facilitated by protein transporters
• Active transport– Molecules travel against concentration gradient– Requires input of metabolic energy (ATP), transporter
8How molecules get through the membrane

9ABC transport systems
• Include a periplasmic binding protein, a transmembrane channel, and an ATP-hydrolyzing enzyme.
• High affinity binding system.• Family of related proteins.• Example of Active Transport
– Requires transport protein
– Requires metabolic energy

10Group translocation•As molecule passes through the membrane, it is chemically changed.
•Requires energy in the form of PEP.
•Requires series of proteins
•Prevents substrate from “backing out of cell”
•Use energy that would have been spent anyway; prepares substrate for use.
11Permeases
• Transport proteins are often called permeases (-ase = enzyme) because they have the same properties– Instead of changing a chemical, they change its location– Permeases have an “active site”– Permeases are specific– Permeases are saturable

12ATP is not always used directly in active transport
• An electrochemical gradient exists across the cell membrane– Positive just outside the membrane, negative within– Gradient in the form of H+ ions– Maintained by the hydrolysis of ATP or by the same
metabolic reactions that make ATP– Powers uniports, symports and antiports
13Uniport
• Transport of a single substance
• Example: transport of K+ into the cell– Against its chemical gradient, but down its electrical
gradient.– (red ball = K+)– Doesn’t require energy
DIRECTLY, but making theelectrical gradient DOESrequire energy.
14Antiport and Symport
Molecules (red balls) transported against a gradient. Coupling to flow of H+ into the cell powers this.
