Cards

Term
Proteins compose ____ of a bio membrane
Definition
- 25-75% upper end for mito mem
Term
A membrane that is ___ prot by mass contains ___ lipid(s) per ___ protein molecule (s)
Definition
50, 50, 1
Term
Integral Membrane protein
Definition
- tightly associated with lip bilayer
- removal disrupts bilayer
- Transmembrane (cross the mem) versus non trans (just embeded in a leaflet, doesnt cross)
Term
Periph mem protein
Definition
- Loosely associated, removal doesnt disrupt bilayer
- Change environment to remove pro without effecting bilayer
Term
Lipid Linked Membrane proteins
Definition
- Post translational attchment of lipid molecle to soluble proteins
- Can be fatty acylated or Prenylated
- ex; ras due t prenylation and acylation
Term
Fatty acylation
Definition
- Myristic acid to N-terminus of prot; myristoyl anchor
- Palmitoylatin of internal cys residue; palmitoyl anchor
Term
Prenylation
Definition
- Cystein residue near c-terminus; ex. farnesyl anchor
Term

GPI-linked membrane proteins

- What is it?

- Where does it happen?

- Where on the protein?

- Where is it placed?

- Extra?

Definition
- Attachment of glycosylphosphatidylinositol toprotein - Mod occurs within lumen of ER;C-terminal membrane domain proteolytically removed, ligation of C-terminus of prot to GPI, incorp into lipid raft - Sleeping sickness; variable antigen is GPI linked easily evades immune resp (Tyrpanosome brucei)
Term
Single Pass Proteins
Definition

- Tmembrane proteins span the layer 1 time

- 3 distinct domains; E extraceullar non cytosol, TM domain and CT domain

- C terminal faces cytosol is type 1

- N term is cytosolic type 2; cyto-two!

Term
TM Domains
Definition
- AA's tend to have nonpolar side chains, fav interaction with hydrophic core
- Often A-helical; shields polar regions
- Hydrophobicity plot to predict TM regions
Term
Multi-pass TMP
Definition
- Span multiple times
- Orientation of TM regions relative to each other is dynamic
- TM can generate cluster to create core sep from hydrophobic lip bilayer; may form a philic pocket/channel in bilayer
ex; CFTR, MDR1, TAP
- Some arrangements of TMD's can be static like B-barrel; each strand penetrates membrane
- Outerface is hydrophobic, inner is phillic
Term
Modifications of Membrane proteins
Definition
1) N and O linked glycosilation of extraceullar domains
2) Cystesein residues; extra cel = disulf bond because of oxidizing ennvironment. Intracel = reducing enviro so reduced SH
3) Proteolytic processing of EC domain
4) Phosphorylation of tyrosine, serine or threonine residues of C domain
Term
Glycocalyx
Definition
- Carb rich coat of the cell
- Made of glycolipids/gprots, and proteoglycans
- Protects the cell
- Allows interactions with environment; ex. selectins bind cell adhesion molecules exp by vasc endothelium
Term
Mobility of proteins
Definition
- Do not flip flop easily
- Rotational and lateral diffusion
- Movement of non-rest proteins suggest olive oil viscosity
Term
Restrict Mobility of proteins
Definition
- large aggregates of memproteins decrease mobility - tethering to intra or extracel elements - Mem protein interacting with proteins in second bilayer - Microdomains like lipid rafts
Term
Asymmetrical Distribution
Definition
- Maintained by tight junctions, divides bilayer to domains
- prevent direct movement of proteins and lipids
- Helps polarized cells maintain asym distrib; apical versus baso-lateral
Term
RBC as model
Definition
- Single Bilayer
-Glycophorin (Type 1 single pass TM prot)
- Band 3 (multipass TM, 12 Tm regions)
- Spectrin cytoskeleton
Term
Glycophorin
Definition
- Type 1 single pass TMP
- N-linked oligosach in ECD
- Carries antigens
- 1 mill molec/RBC
Term
Band 3
Definition
- Multi Pass TM protein; 12 TM regions
- Anion transporter
- Aprox 1 mil/RBC
- Interacts with spectrin cytoskeleton
Term
Spectrin
Definition
- Basis of cytoskeleton
- Periph mem protein; attached to glyco and band 3
- Structural integrity of RBC
