Membrane Channels
The Cell Membrane is Selective
• Criteria for passage through the phospholipid
bilayer:
1. Hydrophobic
2. Net zero charge
3. Nonpolar
4. Size is also a consideration
• Chemicals that will NOT pass through the
phospholipid bilayer:
1. Hydrophillic
2. Charged, ionic
3. Polar
4. Size is also a consideration
• But, using the preceding criteria, many
substances vital to cellular function (e.g., ions)
and survival (e.g., glucose) will not gain entry
into the cell!
• So, nature has come up with channels, which
selectively allow certain substances to gain
entry into the cell, even though they do not
meet the criteria on the preceding slide.

Channels are Vital
Without channels it is energetically unfavorable to
move ions across a membrane –
1. the phospholipid bilayer is ~6-8 nm thick.
2. the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid
molecule projects toward the cytoplasm or the
extracellular fluid.
3. the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid
molecules project toward each other.

For the Cation to Move Through the
Phospholipid Bilayer…,
1) It must lose its waters of hydration so that it is not so huge
and charged; requires energy to break attractive forces
between the ion and the waters.
2) Energy is also required to move a charged highly
hydrophilic particle into the highly hydrophobic area of
the lipid bilayer that contains the “tails” of the
phospholipid molecules.
3) Based on thermodynamic calculations, so much energy
would be required for this process that it would never
occur.
Channels are thermodynamically similar to Enzymes in that the
former lower the Activation Energy required to move ions across
the Membrane
Transition State
The rate of
the reaction
is determined
by the energy
of activation,
the energy
input
required to
produce the
transition
state.
The uncatalyzed
reaction requires a higher
activation energy than the
catalyzed one does. So, the
latter runs more quickly.

There is no difference in free
energy (ΔG) between
uncatalyzed and catalyzed
reactions. The ΔG is the
thermodynamic driving force
for the reaction and determines
the direction of the reaction.
Ion Flow Across the Membrane
• A Chemical can move across the membrane
through one of two ways:
1. Movement through the phospholipid bilayer.
2. Movement through a H2O-filled protein
channel.
Channels are thermodynamically similar to Enzymes in that the
former lower the Activation Energy required to move ions across
the Membrane
The rate of
diffusion is
determined
by the
“energy of
activation”,
the energy
input
required to
produce the
“transition
state”.
(Remove
H2Os of
hydration
and/or move
into hydrophobic
environment.)
Movement through a channel
only requires shedding of
waters of hydration (energy
input would be infinite to
move through the bilayer).
So. Diffusion occurs more
quickly.
ΔG determines this!!
Transition State
Change in free energy is
the thermodynamic
driving force for diffusion
and determines the
direction of ion movement

What do we know about the structure of
gated ion channels?
A. Biochemical Information –
1.

4.
MWs range from 25-250 kDal.
They are integral membrane glycoproteins.
They usually consist of 2 or more subunits.
The genes that code for the proteins have been isolated,
cloned and sequenced. These sequences have been
grouped into 6-7 protein families.
5. The primary (amino acid) sequences of these channels
is known.
Use of the Hydrophobicity Plots
1) Propose 3-D structures of the channels
2) Propose functions for specific regions of the
channel proteins
Amino Acid Sequence Enables Ion Channel
Structure Determination
Many Techniques Can be Used to Test
the Proposed Functions of Portions of
the Channel Proteins
1) Sequence Homologies – used to determine which
portions of primary sequences of ion channels are
the same/very similar
a) Same channel from several different species – what is
conserved must be critical to channel function
e.g., Ach-gated channel – Ach receptor portion of the
channel is highly conserved
Many Techniques Can be Used to Test
the Proposed Functions of Portions of
the Channel Proteins
1) Sequence Homologies – used to determine which
portions of primary sequences of ion channels are the
same/very similar (continued)
b) Different channels with the same basic function from many tissues
in one species – what is conserved must be critical to channel
function
e.g., Voltage gated channels (K+, Na+, Ca2+) – all have a presumed
membrane-spanning region with charged AAs at each third
position (voltage sensor?), while ligand-gated channels lack this
structure
Many Techniques Can be Used to Test the
Proposed Functions of Portions of the Channel
Proteins
2) Immunocytochemistry –
a) raise antibodies to a portion of the molecule thought to be
on the intracellular or extracellular surface of the membrane
b) Incubate neurons with the labeled antibodies
c) Do antibodies bind to intact neurons? (Note: antibodies are
too large to fit into a channel)
Yes – sequence is on extracellular surface
No – sequence may be in pore or on intracellular surface
d) Next step: lyse cells and repeat exp. to see if there is
binding, i.e. is it an intracellular sequence?
Many Techniques Can be Used to Test the
Proposed Functions of Portions of the Channel
Proteins
3) Site-directed mutagenesis – use molecular biology
techniques to modify specific regions of a channel
with a predicted function – does modification alter
channel function in a predicted fashion?
4) Chimaeric Channel Construction – construct a
mutant channel from sequences from 2 or more
channel genes – which “parent” channel does the
mutant resemble?
•Most channels have
this basic structure:
multimeric
(quarternary
structure), membranespanning, and, by
definition, have a pore
running longitudinally
through the structure.
•Vary in the number of
subunits and
complexity.
Remember your amino acids?
• Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of
proteins.
• In addition, recall that multimeric proteins are
formed from the attraction of individual
subunits, forming the quarternary structure.
• Recall the structure and ionization of the each
of the amino acid side-chains (R).
-It wouldn’t hurt if you reviewed what a pI is.
The amino acid
side –chains (R)
•The primary amino
acid sequence and
higher –order
structures determine
the channel topology.
Interior of the channel
will be lined with
hydrophilic amino
acids.
Exterior of the channel
will be lined with
hydrophobic amino
acids.
Selectivity Filter
• Many channels are selective for only 1 or 2
different chemicals (ions, sugars, etc.).
• The K+ channel has such a filter, which is a
narrow region towards the extracellular surface
of the membrane.
• Two K+ ions can occupy the selectivity filter
simultaneously, with a third in a H2O-filled
cavity deeper in the pore.

of hydration.)
Proposed Mechanisms for Ion Selectivity by
Channels: Ionic size
The modified model explains K+ channel
selectivity, i.e. the hydrated K+ just fits into the
channel and the hydrated Na+ is too big to fit.
However, how do we explain the +/- sodium
channel selectivity?
A selectivity filter exists inside the channel

How might it work? Similar to
enzymes, but much faster?
Evidence for a Selectivity Filter
If channels are simple resistors, than movement
through an open channel should be a function
of the concentration gradient for the ion across
the membrane
Rate of ion movement = a x [ion]I/[ion]o
(current flow = diffusion)
Linear relationship
with slope = a

Expected data

Evidence for a Selectivity Filter
Data for voltage-gated Na+ channel do not fit the model
of a channel as a simple resistor in the membrane.
Instead, the current flow through the Na+ channel
plateaus or “saturates” at high [Na+]. This relationship
looks like what happens to an enzyme at high
[substrate]. Perhaps some channels select ions
based on the same biochemical mechanisms used
by enzymes to select their substrates?
In the end, the final determinations of channel gating
mechanisms and ion selectivities will come from Xray crystallography of the purified channels.
Crystal Structure of the K+ Channel
from above and from the side
The K+ channel is structure such that a very narrow
tube through the inverted cone shape allows for only
50 H2O molecules and only 2 K+ in succession.
Because they strongly repel each other, when one enters,
one will be forced out.

Ion Channels

•
ion channels in the PM of neurons and muscles contributes
to their excitability
when open - ions move down their concentration gradients
channels possess gates to open and close them
two types: gated and non-gated
1. Leakage (non-gated) or Resting channels: are always open, contribute to the resting potential
-nerve cells have more K+ than Na+ leakage channels
-as a result, membrane permeability to K+ is higher
-K+ leaks out of cell - inside becomes more negative
-K+ is then pumped back in
2. Gated channels: open and close in response to a stimulus
A. voltage-gated: open in response to change in voltage - participate in the AP
B. ligand-gated: open & close in response to particular chemical stimuli (hormone,
neurotransmitter, ion)
C. mechanically-gated: open with mechanical stimulation
Types of Biochemical Mechanisms that
Open and Close Channels (Cont’d)
• Nt or hormone binding to receptor causes a 2nd
messenger to activate a protein kinase that
phosphorylates a channel and thus opens it.
• Changes in membrane potential.
• Membrane deformation (e.g., mechanical
pressure).
• Selectivity by charge (i.e., positively lined
pore allows anions through; negatively lined
pore allows cations through).
Na+ Channels have
Gates
At rest, one is closed (the
activation gate) and the
other is open (the
inactivation gate).
Suprathreshold
depolarization affects both
of them.
The resting potential, recall, is generated mainly by
open “resting”, non-gated K+ channels
-the number of K+ channels
dramatically outnumbers that
of Na+
-however, there are a few Na
leak channels along the axonal
membrane

Sizing Up Ion Channels
Gating and Permeation
What are the Biochemical Changes that Lead to
Channel Gating (Opening or Closing)?
Gating involves some type of conformational
change in the protein, but other than that there
are few definitive answers to the question.
However, there are several general proposed
models for gating.
Types of Biochemical Mechanisms that
Open and Close Channels
• Conformational change occurs in a discrete
area of the channel, leading to it opening.
• The entire channel changes conformation (e.g.,
electrical synapses).
• Ball-and-chain – type mechanism.
• Nt or hormone binding causes the channel to
open.
What are the Biochemical Changes that Lead to
Channel Gating (Opening or Closing)?
A. A conformation change occurs in a discrete portion of the
channel Most popular model, but
currently no evidence for
it!

Channel Permeation: Ohm's Law
Current (flow) is equal to voltage (driving force)
times conductance (1/resistance)
I = (V-Vr) G
Current (I) is measured in amps (pA, nA, µA)
Voltage (V) is measured in volts (mV)
Conductance (G) is measured in Siemens (pS, nS)

Ion channels are enzymes that catalyze the
flow of ions across cell membranes. The
catalytic rate is on the order of 107 per
second.
