Chapter 9: Q10CP. (page 268)

Explain the differences between integral and peripheral membrane proteins.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Integral proteins are permanently attached to the membrane, while peripheral membrane proteins are only temporarily attached.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Membrane proteins are typical proteins that are found in biological membranes or membranes interact with them. They are divided into numerous types based on their location.

02

Integral proteins

Integral membrane proteins are permanentlybound to the plasma membrane.

Integral membrane proteins are embeddedinside it.

Integral membrane proteins cannotbe easily removed from the plasma membrane.

Integral membrane proteins havebothhydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.

Integral membrane proteins act asenzymes, carrier proteins, and channel proteins.

Integral membrane proteins are also known as intrinsic membrane proteins.

Examples of membrane proteins are integral glycophorin, rhodopsin, and NADH dehydrogenase.

03

Peripheral proteins

Peripheral membrane proteins are only temporarily attached.

Peripheral membrane proteins are attached to either sides of the membrane.

Peripheral membrane proteins can be easily removedfrom the plasma membrane.

Peripheral membrane proteins have only hydrophilic part.

Peripheral membrane proteins act as receptors and surface antigens.

Membranes present on the periphery of thecell membraneare known as extrinsic membrane proteins.

Examples of peripheral membrane proteins aremitochondrial cytochrome c and erythrocyte spectrin.

When bacteria growing at 20oC are warmed to 30oC, are they more likely to synthesize membrane lipids with (a) saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, and (b) short-chain or long-chain fatty acids? Explain.

Explain why fats contain ~38kJ of energy per gram, whereas carbohydrates contain~17kJ per gram.

Name this lipid.

Macropinocytosis is a variation of endocytosis in which cells take up large amounts of extracellular fluid, which accumulates in intracellular vesicles. The drug vacquinol stimulates macropinocytosis in the cells that form a glioblastoma, a type of tumor. Propose an explanation why excessive macropinocytosis would lead to cell death.

(a) How many turns of an伪 helix are required to span a lipid bilayer (-30 脜 across)? (b) What is the minimum number of residues required? (c) Why do most transmembrane helices contain more than the minimum number of residues?
