4 subunits that can make intermediate filaments
keratin, laminin, neurofilaments, and vimentin
up to ____% of protein in cell is actin

Actin filaments require 3 things for polymerization
K+, Mg2+ and ATP
cut actin filaments are called
gelsolin
an actin capping protein
tropomodulin
an actin cross-linking protein
spectrin
are intermediate filaments polar?
no
Keratins have highly conserved ____ domain and highly variable _____ domain
globular (terminal)
central
most abundant IF
vimentin
IF protein mostly found in muscle
desmin
keratins will span the cytoplasm of _____ cells
epithelial
Microtubules are a circle composed of ____ alpha/beta tubulin dimers
13
formation of microtubule at MTOC is characterized by the presence of ____ tubulin
gamma
____ tubulin is at the minus end of a microtubule
___ tubulin is at the positive end
alpha
beta
do minus end of microtubules grow?
no
microtubule remodeling is linked to a pattern of ___ hydrolysis
GTP
all microtubules can be disassemble by
putting them in the cold
proteins responsible for transport along microtubule track
molecular motor proteins
molecular motor protein that moves toward minus end of microtube
dynein
molecular motor protein that moves toward plus end of microtube
kinesin
centrioles are built from what subunits
9 microtubule triplets
keratin IFs can connect with the keratins of other cells via
desmosomes
IFs form ________ filaments (only 1 type of protein)
homopolymeric
