Q

Q

what does the Na+/K+ ATPase membrane protein do? generally and specifically

A

creates membrane potential important for neurons by pumping 3 Na+ out of the cell and bringing 2 K+ into the cell (both against concentration gradients)

17
Q

what is SERCA responsible for?

A

uptake of Ca2+ from cytosol into sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen

18
Q

where is SERCA abundant and as what?

A

abundant in animal muscle cells as a Ca2+ transporter

19
Q

what kind of transporter is SERCA?

A

a primary active transporter

20
Q

what does SERCA promote?

A

muscle relaxation

21
Q

what is phospholamban?

A

a protein that attaches to SERCA when dephosphorylated, preventing SERCA from working

22
Q

what deactivates phospholamban and what is the result?

A

phosporylation deactivates phospholamban, causing it to dissociate from SERCA and allow muscle contraction to begin

23
Q

what 2 things phosphorylate phospholamban and where?

A
  1. adrenaline phosohorylates Ser16 by protein kinase A
  2. high Ca2+ phosphorylates Thr17 by Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II
24
Q

give the 4 steps of the SERCA mechanism

A
  1. ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation of Asp351 releases H+ and binds Ca2+ in the transmembrane helices, causing a conromfationa change
  2. ADP dissociated, casuing M2 to open toward the luminal side and release Ca2+
  3. ATP binding repositions M2 to trap H+
  4. Asp351 dephosphorylates
25
Q

draw a muscle fiber, label all 4 parts

A

parts are
1. actin filament
2. myosin filament
3. titin
4. z disk
go draw this!!

26
Q

what does titin function as?

A

a spring

27
Q

give an analogy for contraction as ,yosin heads pull actin

A

actin is like a rope; it does not change length when pulled but moves relative to myosin

28
Q

what changes length during muscle contraction?

A

titin only! is like a spring that can compress and decompress

29
Q

what are myoblasts?

A

large fused muscle cells/super cells

30
Q

what do myoblasts contain? (3)

A
  1. many nuc;ei
  2. share sarcolemma (plama membrane)
  3. share bundle of small fibers (myofibrils)
31
Q

what are myofibrils composed of and what are they organized into?

A

composed of nyosin and actin; organized into thin and thick filaments

32
Q

describe myosin (3)

A
  1. make up thick filaments
  2. arranged so fibrous tails are in the middle and
  3. gloubular heads are at the ends and grab the thin filament
33
Q

describe actin (2)

A
  1. make up thin filaments
  2. bound to troponin and tropomyosin
34
Q

what are the 2 kinds of bands in the sliding filament muscle model? describe

A
  1. A band: stretches from myosinhead to myosin head; does NOT change in length during contraction
  2. 2 I bands shorten as muscles contract as titin tightens
35
Q

what is troponin? describe the 3 binding sites

A

a complex of 3 domains
1. TnT: binds troponin
2. TnI: inhibits myosin from binding to actin
3. TnC: binds Ca2+

36
Q

describe the mechanism of muscle contraction (3)

A
  1. in relaxed muscle, myosin binding sites on actin are blocked by tropomyosin
  2. Ca2+ binding to TnC inudces a conformational change in troponin and tropomyosin that unvocers the myosin binding site on actin
  3. myosin heads bind to actin and initiate muscle contraction
37
Q

describe calcium control of muscle contraction and relaxation (5)

A
  1. Ca2+ binding to troponin (TnC) uncovers myosin binding sites on actin thin filaments
  2. Pi release induces the power stroke, which pulls the actin filament toward the center
  3. ADP release empties the nucleotide binding site in myosin
  4. ATP binding causes myosin to dissociate from actin
  5. ATP hydrolysis induces the recovery conformation
38
Q

what causes muscle contraction?

A

the relative movement of filaments

39
Q

how does the power stroke occur?

A

ADP and Pi are both negatively charged, the release of Pi releases energy = power stroke

40
Q

what is need to initiate and continue muscle contraction and why?

A
  1. Ca2+ needed to start contraction
  2. ATP needed to provide energy to continue contraction
41
Q

what does SERCA do? generally

A

pumps Ca2_ out of sarcoplasm into sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen to keep Ca2+ away from troponin to prevent contraction and allow for relaxation
