Mechanisms of Membrane Domain Formation

멤브레인 도메인은 특정 단백질-단백질, 단백질-지질 및 지질-지질 상호 작용이 멤브레인 내에 뚜렷한 영역을 생성할 때 형성됩니다.
일부 막 단백질은 상호 작용하여 막에서 큰 단백질 복합체를 형성하여 측면 이동을 억제합니다.
막 도메인은 단백질이 세포골격에 묶여 있거나 세포골격 울타리로 인해 특정 막 구획에 제한될 때도 형성될 수 있습니다.
단백질과 특정 지질은 우선적으로 상호 작용하고 작은 도메인으로 조직될 수 있습니다.
막의 덜 용해되는 인지질, 스핑고지질, 스테롤이 응집되어 다양한 크기의 막 도메인을 형성할 수 있습니다.
일부 단백질은 특정 지질에 대한 친화도가 높아 더 큰 지질 유도 도메인을 생성합니다. 이러한 도메인은 단백질을 농축하고 기능성 단백질 복합체의 형성을 가능하게 합니다.

막 도메인 형성의 메커니즘

지질과 단백질의 다양한 물리적 특성으로 인해 막에 위치하여 별개의 섬이나 도메인을 형성할 수 있습니다. 일부 막 도메인은 단백질-단백질 상호작용으로 인해 형성되는 반면, 다른 일부는 스핑고지질 및 스테롤과 같은 특정 지질의 존재로 인해 형성됩니다. 예를 들어 박테리오로돕신과 같은 큰 단백질은 응집되어 별개의 도메인을 생성합니다.

막 도메인 형성의 또 다른 메커니즘은 세포골격 또는 세포질 단백질과 상호작용하는 막 단백질을 포함합니다. 예를 들어, 적혈구에서 발견되는 세포골격 단백질인 스펙트린은 내재막 단백질과 직접 상호작용하여 이를 고정시킵니다. 단백질 세포골격 네트워크와 밀접하게 연관된 원형질막의 내부 층은 별개의 구획 또는 목장을 형성합니다. 목장 내에 존재하는 단백질의 이동은 종종 목장의 울타리에 의해 제한됩니다. 이러한 제한은 단백질의 측면 확산을 방지하고 단백질 도메인의 형성을 초래합니다.

세포 간 상호작용에 관여하는 단백질은 이웃 세포의 단백질과 결합합니다. 두 세포 표면 사이의 이러한 상호 작용은 막 단백질을 제자리에 고정시키고 단백질 도메인을 형성합니다. 예를 들어, 밀착연접은 인접한 두 동물 세포 사이에 방수 밀봉을 형성하는 막 마이크로도메인입니다. 주로 클라우딘과 오클루딘이라는 두 가지 단백질이 세포를 서로 단단히 고정시킵니다. 그 외에도 동물 세포에서 데스모좀은 인접한 상피 세포 사이의 점 용접처럼 작용하는 또 다른 고도로 정렬된 막 영역입니다. 원형질막의 짧은 단백질인 카드헤린은 데스모플라킨, 플라코글로빈, 플라코필린과 같은 연결 단백질을 통해 중간 필라멘트에 연결되어 데스모솜을 생성합니다. 카드헤린은 두 개의 인접한 세포를 연결하고 피부, 심장, 근육과 같이 늘어나는 기관과 조직에서 세포를 시트 같은 형태로 유지합니다.

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 cytoskeletal or exoplasmic proteins. In red blood cells, spectrin, a cytoskeletal protein, directly interacts with integral membrane proteins and immobilizes them. The membrane region linked to the protein cytoskeleton can form compartments, or corrals, where protein movement is restricted by a fence-like boundary. This limited lateral diffusion helps produce protein domains.

Cell-cell interactions can also lock membrane proteins into place. Tight junctions are membrane microdomains that form a watertight seal between adjacent animal cells. Claudins and occludins are the main proteins that hold these cells tightly together.

Desmosomes are another highly ordered type of membrane domain in animal cells. They act like spot welds between adjacent epithelial cells. Cadherins in the plasma membrane connect to intermediate filaments through linker proteins such as desmoplakin, plakoglobin, and plakophilin. These connections help keep cells in a sheet-like arrangement in tissues that stretch, including the skin, heart, and muscles.

How Cell Membranes Form Domains

what are membranes?

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,...

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-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...
