The Movement of Substances
Across Cell Membranes (6)
• The Diffusion of Ions through Membranes
– Ions cross membranes through ion channels.
– Ion channels are selective and bidirectional,
allowing diffusion in the direction of the
electrochemical gradient.
– Superfamilies of ion channels have been
discovered by cloning analysis of protein
sequences, site directed mutagenesis, and
patch-clamping experiments.

• The voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv)
contains six membrane-spanning helices.
– Both N and C termini are cytoplasmic.
– A single channel has 4 subunits arranged to create an
ion-conducting pore.
– Channel can be opened, closed, or inactivated.

The Movement of Substances
Across Cell Membranes (9)
• Eukaryotic Kv channels
– Once opened, more than 10 million K+ ions
can pass through per second.
– After the channel is open for a few
milliseconds, the movement of K+ ions is
“automatically” stopped by a process known
as inactivation.
– Can exist in three different states: open,
inactivated, and closed.
The Movement of Substances
Across Cell Membranes (8)
• Eukaryotic Kv channels
– Contain six membrane-associated helices
(S1-S6).
– Six helices can be grouped into two domains:
• Pore domain – permits the selective passage of
K+ ions.
• Voltage-sensing domain – consists of helices S1S4 that senses the voltage across the plasma
membrane.
4.8 Membrane Potentials and
Nerve Impulses (1)
– Membrane potentials have been measured in all
types of cells.
– Neurons are specialized cells for information
transmission using changes in membrane potentials.
• Dendrites receive incoming information.
• Cell body contains the nucleus and metabolic
center of the cell.
• The axon is a long extension for conducting
outgoing impulses.
• Most neurons are wrapped by myelin-sheath

Impulses (2)
• The Resting Potential
– It is the membrane potential of a nerve or muscle cell,
subject to changes when activated.
– K+ gradients maintained by the Na+/K+-ATPase are
responsible for resting potential.
– Nernst equation used to calculate the voltage
equivalent of the concentration gradients for specific
ions.
– Negative resting membrane potential is near the
negative Nernst potential for K+ and far from the
positive Nernst potential for Na+.
Measuring a membrane’s resting potential
Membrane Potentials and Nerve
Impulses (3)
• The Action Potential (AP)
– When cells are stimulated, Na+ channels open,
causing membrane depolarization.
– When cells are stimulated, voltage-gated Na+
channels open, triggering the AP.
– Na+ channels are inactivated immediately following
an AP, producing a short refractory period when the
membrane cannot be stimulated.
– Excitable membranes exhibit all-or-none behavior.

Impulses (4)
• Propagation of Action Potentials as an
Impulse
– APs produce local membrane currents depolarizing
adjacent membrane regions of the membrane that
propagate as a nerve impulse.
– Speed Is of the Essence: Speed of neural impulse
depends on axon diameter and whether axon is
myelinated.
• Resistance to current flow decreases as diameter increases.
• Myelin sheaths cause saltatory conduction.

• Neurotransmission: Jumping the Synaptic

postsynaptic neurons at a specialized
junction, called the synapse, across a gap
(synaptic cleft).
– Chemicals (neurotransmitters) released
from the presynaptic cleft diffuse to receptors
on the postsynaptic cell.

However, it has a wide range of pharmacologic effects other than its anticonvulsant activity. There have been more than 8,000

Impulses (8)
• Synaptic Plasticity
– Synapses connecting neurons to their neighbors can
become strengthened over time by long term
potentiation (LTP).
– The NMDA (N-methyl d-aspartate) receptor binds to
the neurotransmitter glutamate and opens an internal
cation channel.
– Subsequent influx of Ca2+ ions triggers a cascade of
biochemical changes that lead to synaptic
strengthening.
– LTP inhibitors reduce the learning ability of laboratory
animals.
Synaptic plasticity
• Dynamic quality of synapses
• Important in learning
• Repeated stimulation of neurons over short
period of time – “strengthening (mental
power) of synapses”
• Long-term potentiation (level of neurotransmitter)
– Hours, days, weeks, years
– Na+ / K+ / Ca2+ / Mg2+ / neurotransmitter
Synaptic plasticity
• Studies in hippocampus – memory formation
• Important in learning
• Repeated stimulation of neurons over short period
of time – “strengthening of synapses”
• Long-term Potentiation (LTP)
• Long-term Depression (LTD)
• NMDA (N-methyl d-aspartate) receptor – binds
glutamate
– Ca++ influx into post-synaptic neuron
– Biochemical events leading to synaptic strengthening

Ion channels and ion pumps: Transporters
--Border guards
----They control the incessant traffic of ions across cell
membranes
--Essential for all life
They mediate several processes as signalling, pH balance,
volume regulation, and the cell cycle, and in higher
organisms they underlie fertilization, immune responses,
secretion, muscle contraction, and all electrical signals in
nerves, muscles, and synapses.
--Ion channels (When open) let selected ions diffuse
rapidly down electrical and concentration gradients
--Ion pumps labour tirelessly to maintain the gradients, by
consuming energy to slowly move ions against them.
Completely different behaviours of ion channels and
ion pumps
----passive, thermodynamically downhill, and high
speed ion movement through channels,
----active, thermodynamically uphill transport, frequent
incorporation of enzyme-like reaction mechanisms,
and low speed of ion movement through pumps
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2742554/
The principal difference, in principle, between channels
and pumps is that a channel needs no more than a single
gate whereas a pump needs at least two gates that should
never be open at once.
A gate can be considered to be the part of the protein that
precludes ion movement along the translocation pathway
in the prohibitive conformation but not in the permissive
conformation.
