Plants have proteins called ____ that bind to specific carbohydrate patterns
lectins
Humans have proteins called ___ that bind to specific carbohydrate patterns
Selectins
Monosaccharides and carbohydrates bind selectins and lectins by..
hydrogen bonding (most)
hydrophobic interactions
van der wahls forces
p-selectin in endothelial cells bind with low affinity to the surface of leukocytes causing them to
roll along the endothelial wall
LPS of invading bacteria, or cytokines produced by infection, stimulate the transfer of p-selectin to____
the surface of endothelial cells (minutes)
p-selectin is now dispersed all along the cell membrane, causes traffic jam of leukocytes (inflammation)
cytokines act as a transcription factor and activate_____
E-selectin/integrins (high affinity, hours)
E-selectin binding on the surface of leukocytes causes _____ of leukocytes or neutrophils to the endothelial cell (immune response)
adhesion
_____ ______ on the surface of a protein target it for insertion into the cell membrane, for the cytosol, or for destruction in the lysosome
glycosylation patterns
(protein trafficking)
this marks proteins to be endocytosed and destroyed
Ubiquitin

8
Knobby membrane proteins protruding from the lipid envelope are called ___
