Membrane transportMembrane potentialOrigin <strong>of</strong> membrane potential◮ Normally, K + leak channels are open randomly and let K + tomove freely◮ However, there are still much more K + inside than outsidebecause when it leaks out, electric force will stop this process atsome point◮ This point is a resting potential, ≈–20–200 mV<strong>Shipunov</strong> (MSU) <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>. <strong>Lecture</strong> <strong>31</strong> April 17, 2013 5 / 24

Membrane transportSignaling in nerve cellsNerve cells◮ Neurons◮ Axons distribute signals and ends with nerve terminals◮ Dendrites are short branches which receive signals<strong>Shipunov</strong> (MSU) <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>. <strong>Lecture</strong> <strong>31</strong> April 17, 2013 9 / 24
Membrane transportSignaling in nerve cellsGiant axons <strong>of</strong> squids◮ Atlantic squid, Loligo pealei has extremely long and thick axons(up to 10 cm in length and 1 mm diameter)◮ This was an excellent model for studying nerve cells and signals◮ Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley received 1963 Nobel Prize fortheir investigations with giant axons<strong>Shipunov</strong> (MSU) <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>. <strong>Lecture</strong> <strong>31</strong> April 17, 2013 10 / 24

Membrane transportSignaling in nerve cellsAction potential and Na + channels◮ Depolarization <strong>of</strong> neighbor region is a stimulus which opens Na +channels and initiate rapid movement <strong>of</strong> these ions into cell◮ Membrane potential changes from ≈–60 to ≈+40 mV and Na +channels inactivate◮ Then, voltage-gated K + channels are open, K + leaks out <strong>of</strong> celland potential (but not ions!) restores◮ Then, Na + channels close and Na + /K + pump restore ionconcentration to default values<strong>Shipunov</strong> (MSU) <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>. <strong>Lecture</strong> <strong>31</strong> April 17, 2013 12 / 24

Membrane transportSignaling in nerve cellsCa 2+ channels and synapses◮ Synapse converts electrochemical signal to pure chemical◮ Depolarization <strong>of</strong> presynaptic membrane will cause Ca 2+channels to open, increase calcium concentration inside cell andinitiate fusion <strong>of</strong> synaptic vesicles to the membrane◮ Fusion should be quickly stopped (one <strong>of</strong> mechanisms isretro-neurotransmitters like endocannabinoids)<strong>Shipunov</strong> (MSU) <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>. <strong>Lecture</strong> <strong>31</strong> April 17, 2013 18 / 24
Membrane transportSignaling in nerve cellsTransmitter-gated channels◮ Neurotransmitter (small molecule <strong>of</strong> given configuration) crossessynaptic cleft and binds to ligand-gated receptors◮ In synaptic junctions between nerve and muscle cells,acetylcholine neurotransmitter will bind to receprots inpostsynaptic muscle cells◮ Neurotransmitters need to be quickly destroyed (many poisonslike kurare will block this destruction)<strong>Shipunov</strong> (MSU) <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>. <strong>Lecture</strong> <strong>31</strong> April 17, 2013 19 / 24
