Q

What actin bundling protein would you find cross linking the actin in a microvillus?

Why?

A

Fimbrin

Fimbrin holds actin fibers close together, which is more beneficial in a microvillus

Q

What does the Dystrophen Gene do?

A

Connects Cytoskeleton to the basal lamina, stabilizes the membrane, and in so doing, helps to relieve the stress of contraction by spreading the forces out.

16
Q

What is the basic organization of actin parallel arrays?

A

Actin fibers are crosslinked together with all of their plus and minus ends on the same side.

17
Q

What do contractile bundles do to help a cell move forward?

A

They pull the plunger-like integrins off of the extracellular matrix so they don’t get stuck.

18
Q

What is the function of Myosin V?

A

Organelle and Vescicle transport along the actin cytoskeleton.

19
Q

What is filamin?

What is its function?

A

Actin binding protein

Creates three dimensional meshworks by binding to an actin binding domain on two different actin fibers.

20
Q

What is the organizational name for actin networks’ three dimensional meshworks?

A

Orthogonal Arrays

21
Q

What -podia are commonly associated with phagocytosis?

A

Pseudopodia

22
Q

Erythrocytes contain spectrin:

What does it do?

A

Forms the actin network that makes up the cortical cytoskeleton

23
Q

Where would we see an actin contractile bundle?

A

In muscles to assist in contraction

In the contractile ring of mitosis

24
Q

What is the only myosin that moves towards the negative end of actin?

A

Myosin VI

25
Q

Which myosin is typically associated with skeletal muscle?

A

Myosin II

26
Q

What fiber is an essential component of pseudopodia, filopodia, and lamellopodia?

A

Actin

27
Q

What determines the nature of the association of actin filaments?

A

The size and shape of the actin binding proteins

28
Q

What is the heredity of Duchene’s Muscular Dystrophy?

A

X Linked Recessive

29
Q

What will a myosin with a longer neck have over a myosin with a shorter neck?

A

A Myosin with a longer neck will have a greater power stroke velocity (increased rate of movement)

(Keep in mind this is not referring to the length of the tail, but the light chain neck portion)

30
Q

What might be deficient in Hereditary Spherocytosis?

A

Cortical skeleton of the red blood cells

(More specifically, Spectrin, Ankryin, or Protein 4.1)

31
Q

What facilitates cross linking of actin bundles?

A

Actin Bundling Proteins

32
Q

Where might you find myosin light chain peptides?

A

In the Neck region

33
Q

What contributes to the prevention of myosin binding to actin in smooth muscle?

What enzyme causes this inhibitory state?

A

Folding of the myosin by the regulatory light chains in the neck

Myosin Light Chain Phosphatase
