Lecture 5-6 Notes Flashcards
What are the cell integrin receptors for Collagen IV?
a2B1
What are the cell integrin receptors for Laminin?
a6B4, a3B1
What are the cell integrin receptors for Fibronectin?
a5B1, avB3, a4B1, a3B1
What are the cell integrin receptors for Fibrin?
avB3
Integrins act as “molecular boots”. What does this mean?
?
What are some leukocyte integrins?
aL, aM, aX, and aD
What are filopodia?
Spike-like actin that is arranged in long bundles.
What are lamellipodia?
Flat and fan like actin that is branched.
Of the following steps of cell migration on ECM, which are dependent on integrin?
(i) Sensing
(ii) Extension
(iii) Attachment
(iv) Contraction
(v) Rear release
(vi) Recycline
iii, iv, and v
Attachment, contraction and rear release
These steps are most associated with the actual movement process.
Are the lamellipodia or filopodia active during the sensing step of cell migration?
Filopodia
Are the lamellipodia or filopodia active during the extension step of cell migration?
Lamellipodia
What are four ways or functions that polarity complexes take roles in?
Epithelial polarity, asymmetric division, cell migration, immunological synapse
State 5 features of epithelial cells.
- They have cell polarity
- Cell adhesion is in place between cells and between cells and the ECM
- They are stationary
- They have a high level of E-cadherin
- They have a low level of N-cadherin
State 5 features of mesenchymal cells.
- They have no cell polarity
- They have no cell adhesion
- They have the ability to migrate and invade
- They have a low level of E-cadherin
- They have a high level of N-cadherin
What is N-cadherin?
A protein that mediates cell-cell adhesion for cell migration
