| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are integral membrane proteins? | embedded proteins that often span the membrane |
| what are peripheral membrane proteins? | proteins attached to membrane surfaces |
| what determines protein function? | 3D shape and chemical properties |
| what are marker molecules? | glycoproteins or glycolipids for identification |
| function of cadherins? | attach cells to other cells |
| function of integrins? | attach cells to extracellular molecules |
| characteristics of transport proteins? | specificity, competition, saturation |
| what does saturation mean? | transport rate limited by number of carriers |
| what are channel proteins? | integral proteins forming passageways |
| what determines what passes through a channel? | size, shape, and charge |
| difference between leak and gated channels? | leak always open; gated open/close with stimulus |
| what disorder affects chloride channels? | cystic fibrosis |
| steps of carrier protein transport? | 1. bind 2. change shape 3. release 4. reset |
| uniporter? | moves one substance |
| symporter? | moves two substances same direction |
| antiporter? | moves two substances opposite directions |
| what power ATP pumps? | ATP hydrolysis |
| what happens during ATP hydrolysis? | energy released charges protein shape |
| what are receptor proteins? | proteins that bind specific chemical signals |
| what happens when ligands bind receptors? | cellular response is triggered |
| subunits of G proteins? | alpha(α), beta(β), gamma(γ) |
| what activates the α subunit? | GDP replaced with GTP |
| 3 actions of activated α subunit? | chemical signals, ion channels, enzyme activation |
| where can membrane enzymes function? | inner or outer membrane surface |
| example of membrane enzyme function? | digestion of dipeptides in small intestine |
