10. As described by the fluid mosaic model, biological membranes contain not only phospholipids but also a variety of other molecules, particularly proteins. The overarching question I want you to consider is how proteins are structured to fulfill their interactions with and functions in cell membranes. A. First, let's just consider a single-pass transmembrane protein, which has just a single region (also called domain) crossing through the phospholipid bilayer, as diagrammed to the right. Describe which regions of this transmembrane protein are likely to be hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic. B. Briefly explain the reasoning for your responses.

3. Consider a transmembrane protein that spans the inner nuclear membrane. Suggest a pathway by which such a protein could reach its destination. In your scheme, describe how the proposed mechanism would ensure that specific proteins are stably localized to the inner nuclear membrane whereas others are not.
4) Two membrane preparations have been made from the plasma membrane of erythrocytes (i.e red blood cells) and are being maintained in an isotonic buffer solution: (1) right-side-out membrane vesicles, in which the exoplasmic leaflet of the vesicle faces the buffer (equivalent in orientation to that of the exoplasmic leaflet of the intact plasma membrane); and (2) inside-out membrane vesicles in which the exoplasmic leaflet faces the interior of the vesicles and the cytoplasmic leaflet faces the buffer. 80 a. Right-side-out vesicles (ROVS) Very Low Fluorescence Inside-out vesicles (IOVS) Very High Fluorescence A newly discovered phosphoglyceride, called phosphotidylalanine is currently being studied. Annexin V is a protein that binds to phosphatidylalanine, which is one of the phospholipids present in the cell membrane preparations described above. Fluorescently labeled Annexin V is mixed with each vesicle preparation. The vesicles are washed to remove unbound Annexin V and then…
the structure of the plasma membrane is best described as: two layers of phospholipids stacked on top of each other, with proteins embedded in the phospholipids Oa single layer of proteins and polysachharides mixed together two layers of proteins stacked on top of each other O many sheets of peptidoglycan stacked on top of each other O one layer of triglycerides on top of a layer of proteins
Integral membrane proteins... Choose all that could apply are bound to the membrane by only interacting with the phospholipid's polar head O contain many amino acids with hydrophobic residues O contain alpha-helical membrane spanning domains O would not be digested by trypsin in a permeabilized cell O interact with the phospholipid core of the phospholipid bilayer
Which of these structures would you expect to find as part of the transmembrane portion of an integral membrane protein? Structure B would be part of the transmembrane domain of an integral membrane protein. Structure C would be part of the transmembrane domain of an integral membrane protein. Structure A would be part of the transmembrane domain of an integral membrane protein.
