Lecture 2
Membrane Structure & Ligand-gated channels
• In Memory of my good friend and colleague
• Massimo Sassaroli
Membrane StructureLearning Objectives
Know the major classes of natural lipids, their structural characteristics and the properties of head groups and hydrocarbon chains
Understand the thermodynamic basis of lipid and detergent assembly: the hydrophobic effect
Understand the physical connection between the shape of lipid molecules and that of the aggregates they form: critical packing parameter
Understand the connection between the configuration of acyl chains, their packing and the properties of the bilayer
Know the connection between bilayer structure and dynamics and translational diffusion of lipids and proteins. Experimental approach to the measurement of diffusion of membrane components: Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching
Understand the characteristics of the fluid phase bilayer as shown by diffraction experiments and computer simulations of lipid dynamics
Cell membranes are dynamic fluid structures. Most of their molecules are able to move about in the plane of the membrane
~30% of the proteins encoded in an animal cell’s genome are membrane proteins
Phosphatidyl Choline
Acyl Chains
Head Groups
Major classes of lipids
Glycolipids
A2: cleave at C2e.g. AA to PG and LT
A1: cleave at C1
C: cleave at C3 e.g. PIP2 to DAG and IP3
D: cleave at C3 e.g. phosphatidic acid
Phosphatidyl inositol phosphates

Hydrophobicity and thermodynamics of lipid assembly
•van der Waals force•
•electrostatic force
•hydrophobic force
Electrostatic interactions are lost when H2O binds to the
hydrocarbon chain. This translates to both an enthalpic and entropic (immobilization of
H2O) energy cost. Tight packing of hydrocarbon chains and
release of H2O back to the balk reduces G => Hydrophobic
effect

Membrane Proteins and Lipid-Protein Interactions
Learning Objectives
Modes of protein-membrane interaction.
Prediction of membrane protein structure and topology: Hydropathy analysis and the
‘positive‑inside’ rule.
Lipid‑modifications of proteins: hydrophobicity and membrane-binding affinity
Modulation of reversible protein-membrane binding: the myristoyl switch.

Channel PIP2-sensitive sites are congregated near helix bundle crossing and
H-I loop gates
PIP2 tethers the N- and C-termini to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane gating the channel to the
open state
WORKING HYPOTHESIS
Kir3 modulation sites congregate around PIP2 sites
Cyan: PIP2 sites
Red: G sites
Pink: Na+ sites
Orange: Phosphorylation sites
1. Know the mechanism by which the metabolic state of the cell is coupled to membrane electrical events, such as those leading to secretion of insulin.
2. Know the mechanism of activation of G protein-gated K channels, as an example of a membrane-delimited pathway of regulating the activity of intracellular ligand-gated ion channels.
3. Modulation of Ion channels by soluble second messengers 4. Sensory transduction: Know the role of CNG channels in
phototransduction. Understand how the balance of CNG and K channels gives rise to the "dark current", which is inhibited during a light flash.
5. Know the subunit composition of nicotinic ACh channels and general topology of the subunits.
6. Know the general activation mechanism for NMDA and non-NMDA channels and role in LTP.
