Epithelial Tissue: junctional complexes and cell cycle Flashcards
name the order of junctions (top to bottom)
zonula occludens
zonula adherens
macula adherens
gap junctions
hemidesomosomes
describe zonula occludens
most apical
tight junctions
membrane proteins
cytoplasmic proteins
describe membrane proteins of zonula occludens
occludin
claudin
forms dimer on each side of plasma membrane
brings membrane together
describe cytoplasmic proteins of zonula occludens
ZO-1
actin
etc…
cytoplasmic proteins link to ZO-1 and it grabs onto actin filaments and forms tight junction
describe zonula adherens
intercellular space - 15nm
gap where transmembrane protein becomes dimer
describe cadherins of zonula adherens
form dimers with each other
links 2 cells
describe actin of zonula adherens
alpha actin
vinculin
these are cross linking proteins and make terminal web of actin
describe macula adherens
demosomes - in stratum spinosum
looks like hair pin
vert big and strong
name the components of macula adherens
desmoplakins I&II
plakoglobin and desmocalmin
intermediate filaments
intracellular space
transmembrane proteins
describe desmoplakins I&II
plakoglobin and desmocalmin of macula adherens
plakoglobin and desmocalmin = makes up plaque inside cell
grouping of proteins bind to pm
what are the 3 types of cytoskeleton
actin
intermediate filaments
microtubules
describe intermediate filaments of macula adherens
makes hair pin in plaque
gives rigidity to inside - hard to pull apart
describe intercellular space of macula adherens
25nm
thick because of the 2 transmembrane proteins
describe transmembrane proteins of macula adherens
desmocollin
desmoglein
form dimers and bind to each other
inside the desmoplakins make plaque and tonofilaments come in and adds to inside where plaque is
describe hemidemosomes
plaque contains BP 200
connects through basement membrane
transmembrane proteins
describe BP 200 (name)
related to bullous phemphigoid
autoimmune disease - body makes antibodies that make up plaque and some transmembrane proteins
disconnects tissue from BM = blisters
describe hemidesmosome plaque
plaque and intermediate filaments
tonofilaments come in and add rigidity to inside and plaque
name hemidesmosome transmembrane proteins
alpha 6 integrin
beta 4 integrin
BP 180
describe gap junctions
2 nm
small space
couple connexon
below zonula adherens
describe coupled connexons of gap junctions
connexon = 6 connexins
channel = 1.5 nm diameter
make tunnels between one cell and another - 6 connexins forms a barrel and matches with another
what does epithelial tissue have very little extracellular space
due to the many junctional complexes = ZO, ZA, desmosomes, hemidesmosomes and gap junctions
what can stem cells do
give rise to all other cells
divide to itself or differentiate to next cell type
describe steady state
number of newly originated cells by stem cells are equal to number of dead cells on surface of epithelium
describe turnover time
time required to change whole population pf epithelial cells - 30 days
