Cholesterol and membrane fluidity

More cholesterol= less fluidMore unsaturated fatty acid = more fluid
Lipid raftPlasma membrane microdomain
with lower lateral diffusion due to increased amount of cholesterol
Lipid raft contains combinations of glycosphingolipids (phosphatidyl-inositol) and protein receptors organized in glycolipoprotein microdomains.
These specialized membrane microdomains compartmentalize cellular processes by serving as organizing centers for the assembly of signaling molecules, influencing membrane fluidity and membrane protein trafficking, and regulating neurotransmission and receptor trafficking.
The caveolin protein in lipids rafts is involved in small invigilation formation know n as ceveolae.

Summary of transcription and RNA processing in Eukaryotic cell

Figure 7-22 Essential Cell Biology (© Garland Science 2010)
The mature mRNA is exported from nucleus into cytoplasm
Successfully processed mature mRNA is recognized by Cap-binding protein, Poly-A-binding protein and Exon Junction Complexprotein that designate mRNA for nuclear export by nuclear pore complex into cytoplasm for translation at ribosomes.
Figure 7-23b Essential Cell Biology (© Garland Science 2010)
In bacteria no RNA processing occurs and no nuclear export
Translation begins before transcription is completedBoth processes takes place in cytoplasm, there is no nucleusThere is only one RNA polymerase for synthesis of all types of RNA
From RNA to Protein
Translation = protein biosynthesis* takes place at ribosomes in cytoplasm* requires mRNA as a template, and t-RNA to transport amino acids

aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase attaches a particular amino acid to the t-RNA with appropriate anti-codon
Figure 7-29 (part 1 of 2) Essential Cell Biology (© Garland Science 2010)
Decoding genetic code 2nd step
Anti-codon recognizes the appropriate codon in mRNA bycomplementary base paring
The protein is always being synthesized from the N- treminus or end (amino-terminus) protruding from the ribosome.
Translation of mRNA begins with initiator codon AUG recruiting Metionine -tRNA
Thereby newly synthesized protein has metionine on the N-terminus.
This metionine is removed later by specific protease
Some important data about protein synthesis at ribosomes Initiation of translation
• Initiation of translation requires special initiation factors
• Only the initiator t-RNA with metionin can bind the P side of ribosome small unit
• Metionine codon AUG is a signal for start of translation
• AUG codon enables also reading of the m-RNA massage in a proper reading frame
• without START signal mRNA can be read in 3 reading frames for 3 different amino sequences

START signal is necessary to choose a proper reading frame

CytoskeletonComponents
• Microtubules- Tubulin;
• Actin filaments (thin filaments)- Actin;
• Intermediate filaments- keratin, vimentin or laminfilaments
Accessory proteins- linker, controller for assembly, and motor
In muscle cells - myosin filaments (thick filaments)

CytoskeletonFunction
• Microtubules- movement of organelles, chromosomes (mitotic spindle) and vesicles inside the cell;
• Actin filaments (thin filaments)- movement of the whole cell, muscle contraction, movement of some vesicles inside the cell
• Intermediate filamentsGive the shape to cellsProtects from mechanical stress

Organization of microtubulesMicrotubules are hollow cylinders25nm in diameterComposed of protein called tubulin
forming tublin dimmers. Dimmers of tubulin are made of and
tubulin.
Localized mainly in the center of the cell protruding from microtubule organizing center

Cilia Flagella
Tubulin and form a dimmerTubulin dimmers are polymerizedin protofilament13 parallel protofilaments are arranged in a helicoid, hollow microtubule Essential Cell Biology (© Garland Science 2010)
Microtubules are very dynamic structuresthey polymerize and depolymerize all the time
Each microtubule contains two and ends :puls end where
microtubule growths(new tubulin dimmers with GTP are added )
and minus end where microtubule gets shorter(shrink) (tubulin dimmers are released into cytoplasm)
Microtubules protrudes from centrosome into the cytoplasm
Centrosome contains two centroils
The minus end is located to the centrosome
The plus end to the cytoplasm
Microtubules are organized at centrosome

Microtubule-Organizing Centers – (MTOCs)-places where microtubule start assembling
• All MTOCs contain -tubulin• MTOCs are:
– Centrosomes containing• 2 centriols• PCM Pericentriolar material – amorphous matrix with-tubulin rings initiating tubulin polymerization at

• At Cilia & Flagella• Identical in structure to centrioles
Centrosome represent Microtubule-Organizing Centers
20
Centrosome = two centriolsCentriol = 9 triplets of microtubules and
To perform their function in intracellular movmemt of organelles microtubules cooperate with two motor proteins that moves organelles, vesicles and chromosomes among microtubule:
There are to microtubule motor proteins:Dynein and Kinesin
Dynein – moves along microtubules from the + to – endKinesin – moves along microtubules from the – to + end
Motor proteins use ATP for energy to drive movements along microtubulesDynein – movement along microtubules from the + to – end
= to centrosome
Kinesin – movement along microtubules from the – to + end

Movement of chromosomes is mediated by dynein as a motor protein moving
chromatides along microtubule
Microtibules bind to kinetochore (a protein ring surrounding centromere)
And dynein moves chromarides

Drugs acting on microtubules are used as anticancer drugs
Colchicine,colcemidVincrisine, vinblasintNocodasole-bind to the plus end and prevent tubulin polymerization
Taxol-Binds to mictotubuleand stabilizes them
By preventing depolymerization
Axonal transport of neurotransmiters in vesicles is mediated by microtubules
Anterograde transport ( form cell body to the synapse) = kinesinRetrograde transport (back to the cell body) = dynein

Flagella and cillia are specialized microtubule-based structures
structure– Core – axoneme– Composed of – 9 peripheral doublets of microtubules + one
central pair– Dynein arms- movment– Nestin conections
Dynein causes the movement of cilia and flagella
Nestin connections tranform the slying movment of Dynein arms into bending mowment of cilium or flagemmum

Actin filaments are thin and flexible
• 7 nm in diameter• Less rigid than
microtubules• Plus end - fast growing• Minus end - slow
growing• Monomers polymerize
into a helical chain
Essential Cell Biology (© Garland Science 2010)
Actin polymerization requires ATPActin and microtubules polymerize using
similar mechanisms
• Monomeric actin binds to ATP• Upon polymerization, actin ATPase activity cleaves ATP
to ADP• ATP hydrolysis acts as a molecular “clock”• Older actin filaments with ADP are unstable and
disassemble
Myosin I can carry organelles or slide actin filaments along the membrane
Miosin I does not form any filaments
Essential Cell Biology (© Garland Science 2010)
Myosin II slides actin filamentsMiosin II expressed only in muscles and forms myosin filaments moving along actin

Special structures formed by actin filamentsThe microvilli are actin-based structures
They are tiny, hairlike structures on the surface of epithelial cells
involved in absorption and secretion
Microvilli• Microvilli are cellular extensions covered by plasma membrane,
which encloses cytoplasm and microfilaments.
• Each microvillus has a dense bundle of cross-linked actin filaments , which serves as its structural core .
• 20 to 30 tightly bundled actin filaments are cross-linked by bundling proteins fimbrin and villin to form the core of the microvilli.
• Bundle of a acitn filaments from microvilli are anchored in cytoplasm in the terminal web filaments .
• Thousands of microvilli form a structure called the brush border that is found on the apical surface of some epithelial cells, such as the small intestinal enterocyte and the kidney proximal tubule.
Microvilii are composed of actin filaments bundle and accessory proteins
VillinFimbrin - linking proteins
