  9. The Dogma… … inspired by the work of Overton … more than a century ago … All gases move through all membranes simply by dissolving in the membrane lipid.

  10. #1 Access #4 Egress #2 Solubility #3 Diffusion [X]W = sWpX [X]L = sLpX Gas diffusion through a membrane Solubility theory P  sL/sW “Overton’s rule” Overton (1897) This how gases cross artificial membranes and some biological membranes … JK Mitchell (1831) D Solubility-Diffusion theory P  (sL/sW) D T Graham (1866) … but not all Access-Solubility-Diffusion-Egress theory P  (A/E)(sL/sW) D Boron (2010) Henry’s Law

  11. When would a gas channelmake physiological sense? Fick’s Law: JX = PX([X]o – [X]i) * #1 Background permeability is low #3 #1 #2 #2 Gradient is low #3 Physiological demand is high D (unstirred layers cannot overwhelm membrane ) * A gas channel could: (1) enhance flux if PX is low, [X]o [X]i (2) display selectivity for a particular gas, or (3) be under physiological regulation (4) Be amenable to pharmacological intervention *Includes access, s, D, egress *In mammals, ULs are tiny in high-flux systems *An absolute sine qua non

  12. Molecular Anatomy of a Trafficking Organelle “Note that the model … accounts for approximately 2/3 of the protein mass of [synaptic vesicles]. WFB: This model does not include the soluble proteins that bind to the vesicle … It can be envisioned that, viewed from the outside, the lipidic surface is hardly visible when all [integral membrane] proteins are present …” … further limiting access of dissolved gases such as CO2. Takamori … Jahn, Cell 127, 2006

  13. Gas Channels Workshop We will hear more about permeability barriers from Volker Endeward … … and this will be a subject of discussion tomorrow

  31. Implications The background permeability of the membrane (i.e., in the absence of gas channels) must be very low. With additional refinements to the model, we ought to be able to be able to estimate absolute permeabilities.

  32. Gas Channels Workshop We will hear more about the macroscopic modeling of CO2 influx into oocytes from Rossana Occhipinti, tomorrow morning
