Differentiation Flashcards
what is the function of epi
protection
keratinocytes = differentiation integrity
what is differentiation
the process by which cells or tissues undergo change toward a more sp form or function
what kind of organisms undergo diff
multicell
differing structures and function
what is the gene expression effect in diff
changes
whiter some imp features assc with diff which mostly still done to all cells even though diff
diff cells = diff proteins process to all cels RNA polymerase DNA repair enzyme ribosomal proteins metabolic pathway proteins cytoskeletal protiens
what is the dif in mRNA in differentiated cells
diff pattern of protein production
what can cells do when assc with external cells
change the expression of genes in repose
what is the regulation of dif
transcriptional RNA process RNA transport localisation control translation control mRNA deg control protein activity control
what are some cell communication mechanisms involved in diff signalling
EGF TFG - beta FGF Wnt Hedgehog Notch Integrin pathway
what si the cystokeleton
system of protein filaments in cyto of eukaryotic cell = cells have and movement
what are the dos abundant components of the cytoskeleton
actin
microtubules
intermediate
what do cytsosletons have to do
org space
shape and robust
change shape
interact with enviro
what are the functions of the cytoskeleton
chromo apart cytokinesis intracellular traffic support cell move contraction
diameter of a actin filament
5-9nm
diameter of microtubules
25nm
what is the diameter of intermediate filament
10nm
what makes intermediate filaments
intermediate filament proteins
what do diff groups of intermediate filaments do
one = nuclear lamina others = extend across cyto
how do intermediate filaments strengthen entire epi
span cyto form one cell cell junction to other
name some types of intermediate filaments
nuclear
vimentin-like
epithelial
axonal
what sit he component peptides nuclear IF and location
components - lamina A, B, C
location - nuclear lamina
what is the component peptides of vimentin-like IF and location
components
- vimentin
- design
- glial fibre
location
- mesenchymal
- muscle
- glial cells
what is component peptides of epithelial IF and location
components
- type 1/2 keratin
location
- epithelial cells
