Cytoskeleton part 2 Flashcards
association of organelles and other cytoplasmic components with cytoskeleton
moves in straight lines
Role of cytoskeleton
organising and controlling movement of some organelles
saltatory movement
rapid bursts then pauses
cellulose biosynthesis
protein complexes moves straight lines along filamentous pathway
cytosolic ribosomes
found associated with protein filaments
soluble enzymes
found in association with actin filaments in myofibrils and in stress fibres of fibroblasts
motor proteins
microtubules motor using ATP derived energy
2 groups of motor proteins
kinesin and dyneins
kinesin
move to positive end
dynein
moves to negative end
examples of movement along MT
for transporting vesicles
integrity and reassembly of Golgi apparatus
2 conformation that alternates motor protein
conformation stabilised by bound ATP, other by ADP and hydrolysis
dynein function
cycling of conformational changes allow ‘shuffling’ along filament
microtubule provide tracks for…
movement of vesicles along axons
anterograde transport
movement from negative to positive from cell body
retrograde transport
movement from positive to negative from axons - return
time take during rapid transport
3mm/s , 250mm/day
slow transport
1mm/day
directionality of movement
due to polarity from positive to negative end in MT and MF
movement without polarity
motor proteins move randomly
globular head region
engages filaments and actively moves along it
