Simplified depiction of a cell
![Page 4: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cell membrane components
• Main component: phospholipids (hydrophilic outside, hydrophobic inside, spontaneous bi-layer)• Selectively permeable• Inner membranes have similar structure• Proteins: integral vs peripheral• Modifications• Anchors
Cell adhesion molecules, pumps, channels, receptors, enzymes
![Page 5: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mitochondria (1)
Main function: energy production throughoxidative phosphorylation
![Page 6: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mitochondria (2)
• Used to be free-living bacteria• Contains the components of the electron transport chain
(energy production) in the inner membrane• Contains own genome (smaller than nucleus) and
ribosomes (protein synthesis machinery)• Zygote mitochondria come from the ovum: maternal
inheritance of mtDNA• Very ineffective DNA repair leads to mistakes: results in
a large number of rare diseases associated with defects in energy metabolism
![Page 7: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mitochondria (3)Electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation, generation of ATP/energy):
Later…

Lysosomes: rubbish bins
• Large, irregular structures in the cytoplasm• Acidic interior, digest endocytosed bacteria and
discarded cell components• Filled with acid hydrolases, cannot function at normal
cellular pH, will not destroy other cell components• Lysosomal storage diseases result from absence of
enzyme, accumulation/engorgement of lysosomes
![Page 9: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Peroxisomes: detox and more • Catalyse various anabolic and catabolic reactions, e.g.
breakdown of very long chain fatty acids, production of plasmalogen (myelin), production of bile acids
• Enzymes oxidize substrates, generating toxic H2O2, used to oxidize other substrates, neutralizing H2O2
• NB for the detox of ethanol• PXR gene product is outer pxome receptor, PEX gene
products import proteins into pxome, and enzymes are targeted into pxome by PTS signal
• Errors in pxome assembly result in Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy and infantile Refsum disease (lethal in infants)
![Page 10: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nucleus: command HQ
• Contains all of the DNA (nuclear genome) required for gene expression, in the form of chromatin• Site of gene expression (DNA → mRNA)
![Page 11: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Nucleus
• DNA (chromosomes) normally unravelled, disorganized: chromatin
• Individual chromosomes condense before cell division• Nucleolus contains RNA, proteins:
ribosome assembly• Nuclear envelope a double-layer membrane• Contains pore complexes for shuttling of
proteins, ribosomes and RNA: ribosomes and RNA produced in nucleus, must shuttle to cytoplasm for protein synthesis, some proteins (i.e. transcription factors) must shuttle back to nucleus
![Page 12: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ribosomes: protein assembly lines
![Page 13: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Endoplasmic reticulum: processing
• Complex series of tubules in the cytoplasm• Contiguous to the nuclear membrane• Smooth ER: steroid synthesis • Rough ER: covered with ribosomes,
protein synthesis, folding and
modification
![Page 14: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Golgi apparatus: add some sugar
• Stacked membrane-enclosed sacs• Proper glycosylation (sticking on carbohydrate/sugar
chains) of lipids and proteins• Directional (cis→trans)• Vesicles shuttle from the ER, through the Golgi, out for
secretion
![Page 15: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cytoskeleton: intracellular highways
• Maintains structure, helps to move and change shape• Also moves proteins and organelles around
![Page 16: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Molecular motors to move cargo
Kinesin, dynein, myosin: all use ATP (energy)
![Page 17: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Part 2: Intercellular connections
![Page 18: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Holding cells together: Tight junctions
• Surround the outer layer of epithelial cells (intestinal mucosa, renal tubules, choroid plexus in brain)• Also contribute to endothelial barrier function• Totally obliterates the gap between cells, prevents protein leakage between cells
![Page 19: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Holding cells together: zonula adherens
![Page 20: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Holding cells together: desmosomes
- Adhesion protein = cadherin, helps to withstand shear stress in epithelium, particularly in epidermis- Defining feature: dense plaques on cytoplasmic side, attached to cytoskeletal filaments- Blistering diseases (Pemphigus) are auto-immune, attack desmogleins(cadherins), cause layers of skin to pull apart
![Page 21: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Attaching cells to the basal lamina: hemidesmosomes and
focal adhesions
![Page 22: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Gap junctions: intercellular communication
• 1 subunit = connexin• Pore with 6 connexins = connexon• permit passage of ions and small metabolites between cells• highly selective (20 diff connexin genes, each for different flow-through)
![Page 23: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cell adhesion molecules
• All intercellular connections consist of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)
• 4 broad families: integrins, cadherins, selectins and IgG adhesion molecules
• Not just for adhesion, but also for signalling:• cells that lose contact with other cells undergo dissociation-induced apoptosis (anoikis)• collagen-integrin interaction essential for osteoblast differentiation
![Page 24: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Part 3: transport across cell membranes
![Page 25: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Exo- and endocytosis
Note that the cytoplasmic side of the membrane always remains the cytoplasmic side
![Page 26: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Endocytosis continued
• Phagocytosis: eating of bacteria, dead tissue by leukocytes
• Pinocytosis: drinking of solutes• Both processes involve invagination of the plasma
membrane before pinching off vesicle inside the cell• Clathrin-mediated endocytosis: three-legged clathrin
molecules cover endocytotic vesicle
(NB for receptor internalization and
synaptic function)
![Page 27: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How do molecules move across the cell membrane?
• Small non-polar and neutral polar molecules diffuse directly across (O2, N2 CO2)
• Everything else needs help!• Transport proteins form channels for transport of various
molecules• Even water! (through aquaporins)• Some are non-selective ion
channels, some are very selective
![Page 28: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How do molecules move across the cell membrane?
• Some channels are gated
(opened upon a particular
stimulus):
![Page 29: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How do molecules move across the cell membrane?
• Carrier proteins transport molecules WITH a concentration or electrical gradient: facilitated diffusion, does not require energy (example: glucose)
• Other carriers transport molecules AGAINST a gradient: active transport, requires energy
• Many carrier proteins are therefore ATPases: hydrolyses ATP for energy for transport
• Secondary active transport: transport of one molecule coupled to the transport of another (often Na+)– Symport: two molecules moving in the same direction– Antiport: exchange of molecules in opposite directions

Ion channels
Possible configurations:
![Page 31: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Part 4: Energy (ATP) production
![Page 32: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ATP hydrolysis = energy
ATP → ADP + Pi + 30-50 kJ energy
Energetically unfavourable (unstable) Energetically more stable
Interesting factoid: 60% of energy goes towards maintenance of body temp
![Page 33: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Main site of ATP production: the citric acid cycle
cytoplasm
mitochondria
But before we get to this point…..
![Page 34: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof pathway)
1x 6-carbon
2x 3-carbon
Net gain (1 mol glucose): 4 ATP – 2 ATP = 2 ATP; 2 pyruvate; 2 NADH
![Page 35: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Or….Glycogen breakdown
Net gain from 1 mol glucose-6-phosphate: 4 ATP – 1 ATP = 3 ATP; 2 pyruvate; 2 NADH
![Page 36: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Or…Beta-oxidation of fatty acids
- Takes place in mitochondria: long-chain fatty acids transported in by carnitine- 18-C fatty acid generates 8 acetyl-CoA
![Page 37: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Main site of ATP production: the citric acid cycle
cytoplasm
mitochondria
![Page 38: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
From NADH/FADH2 to ATP
![Page 39: FCP-1: Cell Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568133fb550346895d9af020/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
ATP production: adding it up
• 1 pyruvate generates 4 NADH, 1 FADH2 and 1 GTP (ATP)
• 1 NADH = 3 ATP, 1 FADH2 = 2 ATP
• 1 pyruvate = (4x3) + (1x2) + 1 = 15 ATP• 1 glucose (2 ATP; 2 pyruvate; 2 NADH) = 2 +
(2x15) + (2x3) = 38 ATP• 1 glucose-6-P (from glycogen) = 39 ATP• 1 18-C fatty acid = 8 x 15 = 120 ATP• 1 triglyceride ≥ 360 ATP
