• Membrane Potential– Inside of cell is negative compared to outside

– Depends on:– High concentration K+ inside– Selective permeability of membrane

What causes the different ion distributions in cells?

1. Passive distribution – Donnan equilibrium

2. Active Transport

• Mathematically expressed:

•Another way of saying the number of positive charges must equal the number of negative charges on each side of the membrane

• The presence of impermeable negatively charged molecules requires more positively charged molecules inside the cell.

2. Active Transport

Page 14: Announcements. Today Review membrane potential What establishes the ion distributions? What confers selective permeability? Ionic basis of membrane potential.

Active Transport

• ATP-powered pumps– Proteins that are capable of pumping ions

from one side of the cell membrane to the other

– Use energy

Page 15: Announcements. Today Review membrane potential What establishes the ion distributions? What confers selective permeability? Ionic basis of membrane potential.

Active Transport

• Na+ - K+ pump

2 K+

ATP ADP + Pi

Page 16: Announcements. Today Review membrane potential What establishes the ion distributions? What confers selective permeability? Ionic basis of membrane potential.

Active Transport

• Na+ - K+ pump– 3 Na+ move out– 2 K+ move in– Hydrolyzes ATP

• Maintains the concentration gradient

Page 17: Announcements. Today Review membrane potential What establishes the ion distributions? What confers selective permeability? Ionic basis of membrane potential.

Active Transport

• Na+ - K+ pump

inside3 Na+

2 K+

Electrogenic• net loss of 1 positive charge from inside• Inside becomes more negative • contributes a few mV to resting potential

Page 18: Announcements. Today Review membrane potential What establishes the ion distributions? What confers selective permeability? Ionic basis of membrane potential.

• Na+/K+ pump is required– Due to low permeability for Na+ to leak into

the cell– Without pump,

Gradual accumulation of +’ve charge insideEventually lose the membrane potential

Active ingredient in rodent poison, ouabain, poisons the Na/K pump

What confers selective permeability?

Ion channels

– Non-gated

– Leakage channels

– Open at rest – allow K+ to flow out

along its concentration gradientK+

Page 21: Announcements. Today Review membrane potential What establishes the ion distributions? What confers selective permeability? Ionic basis of membrane potential.

Membrane Potential Summary

1. Selective permeability• Ion channel – K+ leak channel

2. Unequal distribution of ions• Passive distribution (Donnan)• Active transport – Na+/K+ pump

3. The equilibrium potential of each ion is described by the Nernst equation

4. The total membrane potential is described by the Goldman equation

Is the resting membrane potential controlled by one ion, or several?

• Do an experiment– Measure membrane potential (Vm) of a cell– Change extracellular concentration of an ion

in the bathing solution

– If Vm really depends on Eion than Vm should change as Eion changes

• Therefore, the resting membrane potential (Vm) is very close to the equilibrium potential for K+ (EK)

Summary

1. At rest PK>>PNa, PCl, PCa

2. Therefore, at rest, the membrane potential is close to EK

3. In general, the membrane potential will be dominated by the equilibrium (Nernst) potential of the most permeable ion

Page 33: Announcements. Today Review membrane potential What establishes the ion distributions? What confers selective permeability? Ionic basis of membrane potential.

Sample Question

K = 140Na = 10Cl = 30

K = 5Na = 145Cl = 110

At rest Vm of this typicalcell is -75 mV. What would Vm be if PNa >> Pk,PCl?

Answer: Calculate ENa using Nernst equation.Assume Vm ENa = +67 mV
