What are Membranes?

세포는 주로 인지질, 단백질 및 탄수화물로 구성된 막층으로 둘러싸여 있습니다.
인지질은 자발적으로 배열되는 극성 분자로, 종종 약 7나노미터 두께의 연속적인 이중층으로 배열됩니다.
친수성 또는 물을 좋아하는 극 머리는 세포의 외부와 내부를 향합니다. 소수성 또는 물을 두려워하는 무극성 꼬리는 물에 노출되는 것을 피하기 위해 중간에 정렬되어 있습니다.
인지질이 기본 구조를 제공하는 반면, 다른 구성 요소인 단백질과 탄수화물은 인지질과 결합하여 막의 기능에 기여합니다.
세포의 필요에 따라 일부 단백질은 세포 외 신호를 감지하여 세포 내부로 전달하는 수용체 역할을 합니다.
다른 것들은 다양한 유형의 분자를 위해 막을 가로지르는 경로를 제공하는 수송체 역할을 합니다. 추가 단백질은 세포골격을 세포외 기질 또는 인접 세포에 연결하는 구조적 연결고리입니다.
탄수화물은 당지질을 형성하는 인지질이나 막의 단백질에 결합하여 당단백질을 생성할 수 있습니다. 둘 다 호르몬이나 신경 전달 물질과 결합할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 세포가 서로를 인식할 수 있도록 합니다.

막이란 무엇인가요?

세포의 원형질막은 세포의 경계를 구분하고 환경과의 상호 작용 특성을 결정합니다. 세포는 특정 물질을 배제하고, 다른 물질을 흡수하고, 통제된 양으로 다른 물질을 배설합니다. 원형질막은 적혈구와 백혈구 같은 특정 세포가 좁은 모세혈관을 통과하는 동안 모양을 바꿀 수 있도록 유연해야 합니다. 이는 보다 확실한 원형질막 기능입니다. 또한, 원형질막의 표면에는 세포가 서로를 인식할 수 있게 해주는 마커가 있습니다. 이는 초기 발달 동안 조직과 기관 형성에 필수적이며 나중에는 면역 반응의 "자기" 대 "비자기" 구별에 중요한 역할을 합니다.

원형질막은 또한 신호 전달을 통해 세포와 상호 작용하는 특정 물질의 부착 부위인 통합 단백질, 수용체를 운반합니다. 이러한 단백질은 세포외 입력 수신기 및 세포내 처리 활성제 역할을 합니다. 예를 들어, 막의 표면 수용체는 대사 경로의 효소 변화와 같은 내부 변형을 생성합니다. 이러한 대사 경로는 세포에 에너지를 공급하고, 세포를 위한 특정 물질을 생성하거나, 폐기를 위해 세포 폐기물이나 독소를 분해하는 데 필수적일 수 있습니다. 이러한 막 수용체는 또한 호르몬 및 성장 인자와 같은 효과기에 대한 세포외 부착 부위를 제공하여 효과기가 결합될 때 세포내 반응 계통을 활성화합니다. 때때로 일부 인식 사이트는 바이러스에 의해 첨부 지점으로 사용됩니다. 비록 매우 특이적이지만, 바이러스와 같은 병원체는 돌연변이를 통해 수용체가 결합하려는 특정 물질을 모방함으로써 수용체를 이용하여 세포 내로 진입하도록 진화할 수 있습니다. 이러한 특이성은 인간 면역결핍 바이러스(HIV)나 간염 바이러스가 특정 세포에만 침입하는 이유를 설명하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

membrane receptors and cell signals

The plasma membrane sets the outer boundary of a cell and helps control how the cell interacts with its environment. It lets some substances enter, keeps others out, and releases some materials in controlled amounts. The membrane also needs to stay flexible so cells such as red and white blood cells can change shape as they move through narrow capillaries.

The membrane surface also carries markers that help cells recognize one another. This recognition is important during early development, when tissues and organs form. It also helps the immune system tell the difference between &quot;self&quot; and &quot;non-self.&quot;

Embedded in the membrane are integral proteins called receptors. These are attachment sites for specific substances that communicate with the cell. When a receptor binds its target, it can trigger changes inside the cell, including changes in enzymes that drive metabolic pathways.

These pathways may help supply energy, make needed cell products, or break down wastes and toxins for disposal. Membrane receptors can also bind effectors such as hormones and growth factors and start response cascades inside the cell. In some cases, recognition sites on the membrane can also be used by viruses as entry points.

Because these receptors are highly specific, some viruses can evolve through mutations to exploit them. They may mimic the substance the receptor normally binds and gain access to the cell. This specificity helps explain why HIV and hepatitis viruses infect only certain cells.

membrane fluidity

How Cell Membranes Stay Flexible

Cell membranes stay flexible because of the fluid mosaic model. The plasma membrane is a mosaic of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates. These parts are separate but loosely attached, so the membrane keeps a fluid character. The membrane is still fairly rigid, but it can flow and self-seal after a very fine needle passes through it. Phospholipid tails also affect membrane fluidity. Saturated fatty acids in phospholipids have straight tails because they are packed with...

fluid mosaic model

Fluid Mosaic Model of the Membrane

The fluid mosaic model explains the structure and function of the plasma membrane. Scientists first identified the plasma membrane in the 1890s, and by 1915 they had identified its main chemical parts: lipids and proteins. Early electron micrographs showed a railroad track pattern, which helped lead to the first widely accepted membrane model in 1935.

membrane lipids

Membrane Lipids in Cells and Tissues

Membrane lipids give biological membranes their structure and help set their properties. In mammalian cells, lipids make up about 50% of the membrane on average. The amount can be much lower in the inner mitochondrial membrane or much higher in the myelin sheath around nerve cells. Several phospholipids are common in mammalian membranes. These include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and sphingomyelin. At physiological pH, phosphatidylserine carries a negative...

asymmetric lipid bilayer

Membrane Lipid Unevenness

Biological membranes have an uneven mix of lipids between the inner and outer layers. This membrane asymmetry gives each side a different chemical makeup and supports different cell functions. Evidence for this uneven layout came from treating an erythrocyte membrane with phospholipase. Phospholipase is an enzyme that breaks lipids into fatty acids and hydrophilic groups. It acted only on the outer layer, while the inner layer stayed intact. The treatment degraded about 80% of total membrane...

membrane asymmetry regulating transporters

membrane-asymmetry-regulating-transporters

Membrane Lipid Flipping and Transport

Membrane lipid flipping and transport help cells keep an uneven, or asymmetric, distribution of phospholipids across the membrane. This balance is controlled by flippase, floppase, and scramblase enzymes, which move lipids between the two membrane leaflets. Flippases move specific phospholipids from the outer leaflet to the inner leaflet. In eukaryotes, these enzymes are type-IV P-type ATPases, also called P4-ATPases. They are membrane pumps that use ATP and contain one transmembrane domain...

membrane carbohydrates

Membrane Sugars and Cell Identity

Membrane carbohydrates help give cells their surface identity and support plasma membrane function. The plasma membrane is a dynamic barrier made of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These sugar chains have unique structural and chemical traits that help the membrane work properly for cell growth and survival. Membrane carbohydrates do not have a hydrophobic region, so they are found only on the outer surface of the cell. Sugar addition, or glycosylation, of proteins occurs in the lumens of...

membrane proteins

Facilitated Transport Across Cell Membranes

Facilitated transport uses membrane proteins to help materials cross the plasma membrane. These integral transmembrane proteins act as channels or carriers. They move selected substances through the membrane more easily than the lipid layer alone would allow. Channel proteins provide a hydrophilic, or water-friendly, path through the membrane. Their core forms a hydrated opening that lets solutes pass between the inside and outside fluids of the cell. This helps polar compounds avoid the...

lipids as anchors

Lipid Anchors in Membrane Proteins

Lipid anchors help attach proteins to the plasma membrane. In eukaryotic cells, the main lipid anchors are prenyl groups, fatty acyl groups, and glycosylphosphatidylinositol, or GPI, groups. Prenyl and fatty acyl groups anchor proteins on the cytosolic side of the membrane. GPI anchors proteins on the extracellular side. Prenylated proteins often have a CaaX motif at the carboxy terminus. In this sequence, C means cysteine, a means any aliphatic amino acid, and X means any other amino acid...

single-pass transmembrane proteins

How Membrane Proteins Span Cell Membranes

Membrane proteins help cells communicate, send signals, stick to other cells, and move molecules across the membrane. Integral membrane proteins are tightly linked to the cell membrane and carry out these jobs. Some integral membrane proteins sit only in one membrane layer. Fatty acid amide hydrolase is one example, and it is found on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane monolayer. Other integral membrane proteins are transmembrane proteins, which span across the membrane. These proteins have...

multi-pass transmembrane proteins and &#946;-barrels

multi-pass-transmembrane-proteins-and-barrels

Membrane-Spanning Helices and β-Barrels

Membrane-spanning proteins can cross the cell membrane more than once. Their transmembrane chain usually folds into either an alpha-helix or a beta-strand. Alpha-helix multi-pass proteins are common, while beta-strand proteins are found mainly in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Some multi-pass alpha-helix proteins are G-protein-linked receptors, or GPCRs, and bacteriorhodopsin. GPCRs have seven transmembrane alpha-helices. Each receptor also has its own extracellular...

detergent purification of membrane proteins

detergent-purification-of-membrane-proteins

How Detergents Solubilize Membrane Proteins

Detergents help solubilize membrane proteins so they can be purified from the lipid bilayer. Their hydrophobic region can replace membrane phospholipids and keep integral membrane proteins in solution. A detergent works well only when its monomers reach the critical micelle concentration, or CMC. At that point, the molecules assemble into micelles, which are small clusters of detergent. Above the CMC, free detergent monomers stay in equilibrium with the micelles. The CMC varies with the...

protein diffusion in the membrane

How Membrane Proteins Move Side to Side

Membrane proteins can move across the cell surface by lateral diffusion, and they can also rotate in place. Scientists confirmed lateral movement with a cell fusion experiment. Mouse and human cells were fused to make hybrid cells. The membrane proteins on the two cells were tagged with red and green fluorescent markers. At first, each color stayed on its own side of the fused cell. After 40 minutes, the colors mixed across the whole cell surface, showing that the proteins had moved laterally. <br...

membrane domains

Lipid Rafts and Sperm Membrane Regions

Membrane domains organize specific lipids and proteins in defined parts of a cell membrane. This arrangement supports cell signaling, adhesion, and other important cellular processes. These domains can vary in size, composition, function, and how long they last. Some membrane domains are built from proteins. The membrane can contain distinct protein groups that carry out a cell’s specific functions. A clear example is the plasma membrane of a human sperm cell, which has different proteins in...

mechanisms of membrane domain formation

How Cell Membranes Form Domains

Cell membranes form domains when lipids and proteins gather into distinct regions. These regions, or membrane domains, are shaped by different physical properties that help some molecules stay together while others move apart. Some domains form through protein-protein interactions. Others depend on specific lipids, such as sphingolipids and sterols. Large proteins, including bacteriorhodopsin, can also cluster and create visible membrane domains. Membrane proteins can be held in place by...

mechanisms of membrane-bending

How Proteins Shape Cell Membranes

Cell membranes can bend into many shapes because they are flexible and made of a fluid mosaic. That bending can be temporary, as in vesicles, or long-lasting, as in microvilli. Cells control the size, place, and time of membrane curvature. Membrane bending can start inside the membrane itself or from proteins attaching to it. Changes in lipid makeup can create curvature, and proteins can help by making the membrane asymmetric or by clustering certain lipids. The shape of integral proteins also...
