  • Front
  • Back
microfilaments made of
actin
tight junctions made of
actin
gelsolin
microfilament protein. severes actin. caps + end of actin filament and binds to - end (allows disassembly at - end).
thymosin
microfilament protein. binds to actin subunit to prevent it from going into ATP form.
profilin
binds to actin subunits in ATP form and helps preassemble the subunits so they can rapidly add to the + end
formin
microfilament associated; help recruit ATP subunits to the plus end to get rapid actin growth
progeria
premature aging disease, associated with nuclear lamins (intermediate filament)
simple squamous epithelium
lung, endothelium, mesothelium
vincristin
Vincristine binds to tubulin dimers, inhibiting assembly of microtubule structures. Disruption of the microtubules arrests mitosis in metaphase.
taxol
Specifically, paclitaxel binds to the β subunit of tubulin. Tubulin is the "building block" of microtubules, and the binding of paclitaxel locks these building blocks in place. The resulting microtubule/paclitaxel complex does not have the ability to disassemble. This adversely affects cell function because the shortening and lengthening of microtubules (termed dynamic instability) is necessary for their function as a mechanism to transport other cellular components.
zonula occludens
tight junctions, aka junctional adhesion molecules, claudins and occludins
zonula adherens
adhesion molecule - cadherins; linker - catenins; cytoskeleton - actin
macula adherens

colchicine, vinblastine, taxol
affect MT assebly
coiled-coils
intermediate filaments
filamin
binds microfilaments together to give cell interior a gel like structure
gelsolin
binds to + end of microfilament
thymosin
binds to actin subunit prevent ATP form and so can't join into microfilament
profilin
binds to actin subunit, preassembles so microfilament can assemble faster
arp2/3 complex
made of proteins closely related to actin. form side chains off microfilaments during quick movement. associated with lamellipodia
formin
tails on molecule bind to profilin bound subunits. inreases effective concentration of ATP active subunits to plus end of microfilament
stress fibers
microfilaments
myosin I
in microvilli which don't move. bring vesicles
sterocilia
special microvilli; in male repoductive system (absorption) and in auditory system (mechanical sensors)
gamma tubulin
in centrosome, why mictotubules don't depolymerize
primary cilia
9+0 doublets (no doublet in middle like cilia)

no dynein arms

not involved in movement; involved in signal transudction and sensing the nevironment; every cell has one
vincristin, vinblastin (vinca alkaloids)
in MT, bind to alpha- beta subunits so that heterodimers can not add
taxol
bind to beta subunit so that GTP can not be hydrolyzed
disease associated with neurofilaments
ALS
zonula occludens composed of
occludins, claudins, JAMS
zonula adherens composed of
cadherins, catenins, actin filaments
macula adherens composed of
