Cell Motility-MT Flashcards
Cell motility
Movement of cell
Movement environment
Movement component of cell
Motility occur at —,—,— level
Tissue
Cellular
Subcellular
MT and MF provide scaffold for
Motor protein
Mechanoemzymes
To produce motion at molecular level
MT intracellular movement
Mitotic spindle in separation of chromosomes
Cell contractility
Shortening of muscle cells, specialized form of motility
Two eukaryotic motility system
1-MT and Motor protein kinesins and dyenins
2-Interactions between actin MF and myosin motor proteins
Motor proteins convert
Chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical energy (force)
Molecular proteins
Move unidirectionally along cytoskeletal components
No motor protein associated with
IF
Motors undergo
Cycle ATP hydrolysis, release ADP, acquisition of new ATP
Motor protein transduce changes in shape to
Movement of filaments
Motor protein are subjected to
Tremendous friction
Stop when energy runs out
Motor are processive
Move for significant distances
Until energy runs out
Kinesin
Anterograde MT motor
Dynenin
Retrograde MT motor
Dyenin has —— than kinesin don’t have
Extra dota lule tor
MT provide
Rigid set of tracks for transport
Traffic toward - end
Inbound
Traffic toward + end
Outbound
Movement vesicles and organelle along MT
Fast axonal transport
Motors are responsible for
Organelle transport and correct localization
Two proteins responsible for fast axonal transport
Kinesin I: ATP-dependent transport toward plus end called anterograde
Cytoplasmic dyenin: move cargo toward minus end called retrograde
