MEMBRANES-LIPIDSMajor Component of the Plasma membrane is a double layer ofPhospholipids.Hydrophilic heads of the phospholipids are located at the internal and external surfaces separating two aqueous regionsHydrophobic tails are located on the interior of the membranePhospholipids are able to move laterally – contributing to the fluidityUnsaturated hydrocarbon tails have kinks in them preventing over packing between adjacent molecules.Cholesterol reduces fluidity but prevents membrane solidification at cold temperatures.Embedded in the lipid layer are glycoproteins and glycolipids.MEMBRANE PROTEINS AND THEIR FUNCTIONSA membrane is a collage of different protein often grouped togetherProteins determine most of the membrane specific functionsAsymmetrical distribution of proteins – Membrane protein have specific inside and outside faces. Determined by if the protein is made by the ER or the GolgiPeripheral proteins are bound to the surface of the membraneIntegral proteins penetrate the hydrophobic coreTransmembrane proteins are integral proteins that span the membrane the hydrophobic regions of an integral protein consist of one or more stretches of non popular amino acids, often coiled into alpha helixesList of major proteinsTransportEnzymatic activitySignal transductionCell-cell recognitionIntercellular JoiningAttachment to the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix (ECM)You have proteins that join on to things like fats or sugarsGlycoproteins (Blood type – A, B, C etc.)GlycolipidProteins allow substances to flow in and out of the cellHOW DOES HIV RECOGNIZE AND INFECT?HIV must bind to the immune cell surface protein CD4 and a co-receptor CCR5 in order to infect theRecognition based on the 3D structureTRANSPORT PROTEINSAllow passage of hydrophilic substances across the membrane.
