Microtubles Flashcards
Microtubles
made up thickest component of the cytoskeleton
What is the diameter of Microtubles?
25nm
Made of what?
Gloubular protein known as tublin
Tublin made of what?
Dimer that is made of a-tublin and b-tublin
Dimers
stacked upon each other form linear rows call protofilaments arranege themselves in rings to fom hollow tube
Polymerization and deploymerization
can be shorten and lengthy of tublin dimer
Kinesis
are made of motor protein that tend to “walk” toward the plus end of Microtubles
Microtubles components
major component of the miotic splindle which segargates sister chromatids during mitosis
Cila and Flagella
are formed from microtubles which is group together nine parts that surround central pair
