Membrane Transport
&
Cell Communication
Membrane Transport
i. diffusion
ii. facilitated diffusion
iii. active transport
Diffusion
O2
EXTRACELLULAR
INTRACELLULAR
CO2
-molecules pass through membrane
-movement is spontaneous
-molecules travel down the concentration gradient
-goal: equlibrium
-speed is limited by rate of diffusion
Osmosis
• movement of water down a concentration
gradient
• difference in concentration of solute
across a membrane
• intracellular [solute] vs. extracellular
[solute]
• osmotic, hyperosmotic, hyposmotic
Facilitated Diffusion
molecule is transported down
its concentration gradient
faster and more efficient than
diffusion
uses transport proteins
2 kinds:
carrier proteins
channel proteins
GLUT – glucose transporter proteins
GLUT1 – red blood cells, adipose cells,
muscle cells
GLUT4 – liver cells, adipose cells,
muscle cells
glucose
EXTRACELLULAR
insulin
INTRACELLULAR
after glucose
uptake
Active Transport
• pumping a molecule against its
concentration gradient
• requires energy (ATP)

Other forms of transport
• Exocytosis
• Endocytosis
• phagocytosis
• pinocytosis
• receptor-mediated endocytosis
Cell Signalling
• Signals:
• local regulators – e.g. growth factors
• long-distance regulators – e.g. hormones
• 3 stages:
• Reception
• Transduction
• Response
Non-hormonal cell-to-cell communication
Reception – Plasma Membrane
Receptors
• 3 major types:
• G-protein linked receptors
• receptor tyrosine kinases
• ion channel receptors
G-protein linked receptors
ligands: e.g. some hormones (epinephrine)
neurotransmitters
Epinephrine – adrenergic receptor
• epinephrine – produced by the adrenal
gland
• enters the bloodstream during short-term
stress response
• liver - a1 receptors
• blood vessels - b2 receptors
Liver
a1 receptor
blood vessels - heart, lung, cerebral cortex
adenylate
cyclase
b2 receptor
GTP

cAMP

cAMP
ATP
PKA
glycogen breakdown – release glucose
PKA
inhibits MLCK – vasodilation
blood vessels – skin and gut
a2 receptor
adenylate
cyclase
GDP
a2 receptor
GDP
adenylate
cyclase
X
ATP
vasoconstriction
cAMP
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
• kinase: an enzyme that phosphorylates
another protein – catalyzes the transfer of
phosphate groups
• RTKs – catalyze the transfer of phosphate
to side chain of tyrosine amino acid in a
protein
• ligands – e.g. growth factors – EGF, FGF,
PDGF, etc.
Transduction
• protein phosphorylation – kinases
• second messengers:
• cAMP
• Ca2+
Transduction
• phosphorylation - kinases – growth factors
» stimulate cell division
• cAMP – adenylate cyclase
» activates PKA
» various effects – e.g. glycogen breakdown or
vasodilation
• Ca2+ - PLC produces IP3 and DAG
» activates PKC
» various effects – e.g. muscle contraction
Response
• Cytoplasmic responses:
–
–
–
–
opening or closing of a gated ion-channel
alteration in metabolism
regulation of enzyme activity
change in cytoskeletal organization
• Nuclear responses
– activation or repression of gene expression
» activation or inhibition of cell cycle
» induction of differentiation
» cell committment
