Cholesterol, a ConstituentoftheCell Membrane Without cholesterol, cell membranes would be too fluid, not firm enough, and too permeable to some molecules. In other words, it keeps the membrane from turning to mush. Cholesterol is an amphipathic molecule, meaning, like phospholipids, it contains a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic portion. Cholesterol's hydroxyl (OH) group aligns with the phosphate heads of the phospholipids. The remaining portion of it tucks into the fatty acid portion of the membrane.
Membrane Proteins • Integral membrane proteins (penetrating the lipid bilayer; permanently attached) • [Insulin receptor, rhodopsin, …] • Integral polytopic membrane proteins (transmembrane proteins) • Integral monotopic membrane proteins • Peripheral membrane proteins (external bound with non-covalent bonds; temporarily attached) • [Enzymes: phospholipase …] • Lipid-anchored proteins (external bound with covalent bonds) • [G proteins …]
Integral Polytopic Membrane (Transmembrane) Proteins • Schematicrepresentationoftransmembraneproteins: • a singletransmembraneα-helix (bitopicmembraneprotein) • a polytopictransmembraneα-helicalprotein • a polytopictransmembraneβ-sheetprotein
Integral Monotopic Membrane Proteins • Schematicrepresentationofthe different typesofinteractionbetweenmonotopicmembraneproteinsandthecellmembrane: • interactionby an amphipathicα-helix parallel tothemembrane plane (in-plane membranehelix) • interactionby a hydrophobicloop • interactionby a covalentlyboundmembranelipid (lipidation) • electrostaticorionicinteractionswithmembranelipids (e.g.through a calciumion)
