  1. Cell Membrane Structure and Function

  2. 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

  3. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  4. 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

  5. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  6. 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

  7. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  8. 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

  9. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  10. 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

  11. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  12. 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

  26. Types of Membrane Proteins • Transport proteins • regulate the movement of water-soluble molecules across the membrane • Channel proteins • Carrier proteins

  27. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  28. Types of Membrane Proteins 2. Receptor Proteins • trigger cellular response when specific molecules bind to them Nervous system Endocrine system

  29. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  30. Types of Membrane Proteins 3. Recognition proteins • act as ID tags and cell surface attachment sites • the immune system

  31. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  32. 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 surfacereceptors-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

  34. 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

  38. 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

  39. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  40. 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

  42. Transport across membranes • Passive transport is a function of molecular size, lipid solubility, and size of the concentration gradient 1. Simple diffusion

  43. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  44. 2 Dye molecules diffuse into the water; water molecules diffuse into the dye. 3 Both dye molecules and water molecules are evenly dispersed. 1 A drop of dye is placed in water. drop of dye pure water

  45. (a) simple diffusion (extracellular fluid) (cytoplasm)

  46. Transport across membranes Passive transport…(cont.) • 2. Osmosis • a. Isotonic • b. Hypertonic • c. Hypotonic
