Frand Flashcards
(34 cards)
form mitotic spindle
microtubules
segregation of DNA
microtubules
ATP-dependent motor proteins that bind microtubules
kinesin and dynein
ATP-dependent motor proteins that bind actin
myosin
Tau protein binds and stabilizes
microtubules
structural variant of Tau aggregates in amyloid plaques leading to – and compromised vesicular transport in diseased neurons
disintegration of microtubules
– localize to nuclear envelope
Lamins IF
Kertain IF are characteristic of epithelial cells wherein some localize to –
cell-to-cell junctions
mutations in gene encoding lamin affect – and cause HGPS (premature aging)
IF
mutations that affect keratin IF cause –
blisters
kerating IF localize to cell-to-cell junctions and also accumulate in the – during cornification
cytoplasm
kertain IFs anchored to plaques on the membrane of two adjacent cells; these attachments are called –
desomosomes
major force generator of cells
actin
smallest cytoskeleton filament
actin
forms dynamic specialized structures virtually in all cells
actin
microvilli, adhesion belt, cell cortex, filopodia, lamellapodium. stress fibers, contractile ring
actin
The process by which actin filaments appear to move within cells treadmilling occurs slowly in the absence of –
accessory proteins
profilin facilitates addition at the positive end of actin by –
increasing the rate of exchange of ADP for ATP
makes it more likely that actin breaks under tension
cofilin (ADF)
barbed end of actin
profilin
pointed end of actin
cofilin
accessory protein that affect the stability and geometry of F actin
fascin
fascin – actin filaments
bundles
– play a role in the formation of protrusions from the cell surface (filapodia)
actin bundles
