Alternative Splicing of RNA of the Drosophila DSCAM gene (axon guidance receptors directing growth cone localization)
Negative and Positive Controls of Alternative Splicing (active regulation)sometimes, the splicing sequence is ambiguous, so constitutive random splicing
Antibodies (membrane-bound, secreted) in B lymphocytecleavage regulated RNA processing (CstF)
RNA Editing (inserting Uracil at different sites and change encoding sequence)
Nuclear ExportRev binds to rev response elelent (RRE), which binds to nuclear export receptor (exportin 1) to regulate nuclear export even without splicinga delay of virus infection symptom
Localization in cytoplasmalso determine the fate of RNAs3’ UTR (untranslated region)
3’ UTR in regulating LocalizationRed: intact 3’ UTR,Green: 3’ UTR deleted
Negative Translational Controlaconitase inhibits ferritin production
Phosphorylation RegulationeIF-2B serving as GEF for eIF-2 and promote translation initiationphosphorylation locked eIF-2 in inactive form
Two Mechanisms of mRNA decay1. regular 3’ tail shortening followed by ‘5 decapping and degradation2. endonucleolytic cleavage and fast decapping and degrading
The competition between mRNA translation and decayinitiation machinery and deadenylation proteins are all associated with 5’ and 3’
With Iron, aconitase release enhances the production of ferritin to bind iron while destabilizes transferrin receptor mRNA to reduce the transportation of more iron intracellularly
Stop Codon CheckingShould after all the exons (nonsense-mediated mRNA decaying)
Summary Premature termination Alternative RNA Splicing 3’ cleavage and Poly A’ addition RNA editing Necleus transportation Localization of RNA at the cytoplasm Translational initiation Degradation
Cell Membranes • Lipid Bilayers • Cell Membrane
Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Molecules interacting differently with water
Wedge-shaped lipids form micelles Cylinder-shaped lipids form bilayers
Liposomes Proved the self sealing process
Phospholipid mobility Lateral diffusion: Diffusion coefficient 10-8 cm2/sec Migrate in seconds to cover the whole surface Flip-Flop: phospholipid translocators
Cis-double bonds affect packing Saturated: packed and thick Unsaturated : loose and think Phase transition: liquid to fluid
Cholesterol and Glycolipids
Function of Cholesterol • Provide structural support, prevent small molecule to pass • Prevent tight packing and transition
Microdomains on plasma membrane Lipid rafts (~ 50nm) Choresterol Sphingolipids (long saturated chains) Other proteins
Asymmetrical distribution of phospholipids and glycolipids Protein kinase C (PKC) binds to negatively charged phosphotidylserine to be functional
Phospholipids in cell signaling PKC Calcium GEF, AKT, migrating front
Phosphotidylserine exposed on outer surface as apoptosis signal • Phospholipid translocator • Scramblase
Glycolipids Gm1 Ganglioside with charge can serve as signal for lipid rafts, binds to Cholera toxin
Summary Lipid molecules: phospholipids, cholesterol, glycolipid, all amphipathic Lipid bilayer, hydrophobic inside and hydrophilic outside Subdomains on membrane, asymmetry important for functions Phospholipids as signals
Membrane Proteins Integral membrane protein Peripheral membrane protein Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor protein
Fatty acid chain (acyl, N-terminal) or prenyl group modifications (C-terminal) Or geranylgeranyl Or palmitic acid
Hydropathy Plots Index of hydrophobicity
Membrane proteins are glycosylated Sugar are added in the lumen of the ER and Golgi apparatus, therefore, sugar are outside of cell surface Cytosol has reduced environment, preventing disulfide bonds
