25
What do both kinesin and dynein have in common
Both have a head region that binds to MT and is an ATP ase Both have a neck linker region Both have a long structure that leads to a tail that binds to cargo
26
What is the long structure that leads to a tail that will eventually bind to cargo in kinesin
Stalk
27
What is the long structure that leads to a tail that will eventually bind to cargo in dynein
Stem
28
What are cilila and flagella
Two versions of the same thing Cilia is shorter Flagella is longer Flagella propel cells Cilia sweep materials
29
What is an axonome
The underlying structure of cilia and flagella
30
What is the array of microtubules
9 plus two in the middle
31
What does nexin do
Hold the doublets in place
32
What is bending
Is it localized and only some of these doublets bend
33
What does the radial spoke head do
Holds things in place
34
What does axonemal dynein do
It is permantly bound to the A tubule and is permantly pointing to the B tubule
35
What is the a tubule
Has 13 microtubules
36
What is the B tubule
Has 10 microtubules
37
What is the difference between axonme and basal body
Axnome doesnt have c go through the basal body are triplet microtubulers and 9 triplets and the axnomes are doublets
38
What does the basal body do
It is the base that anchors cilia and flagella that anchors them to the cell and serves as the template for the axonome
39
What is the transtional zone
The change from basal body to axoneme
40
How do you know how many doublets there will be
It is the amount of number triplets
41
How do axonemes bend
Generated by sliding of microtubules against each other powered by axonemal dyein
42
What part of dynemin is attached to which part of the tubules in bending
The tail is attached to the A tubule and the head binds to B
43
What microtubule moves
B
44
What happens if nexin is there
No sliding occurs so bending does
45
Which ways do microtubulers when sliding
In slding the B tubule moves to the positve ed and the a tubule bound moves to the negative end same with bending
46
What does intraflagellar transport do
Moves things up and down they are long projections and secrete ligands
47
Is intraflagellar transport releated to bending
NO
48
What do interphase contain and what is it used for
A non motile cilium no axonemal dynein but plays an important role in cell-cell signaling
49
What are signals rlly important in
Embryo cells
50
What does non motile mean
NO NEXIN OR DYNEIN
51
How many non motile cilia do cells have
1
52
What are primary cilia stabilized by
Acetylated tubulin
53
Where are primary cilia not found in
Mitotic cells
54
What is karyokinesis
Dividing up chromosomes microtubular mitosis is 2 compartments
55
What is cytokinesis
Dividing cytoplasm actin
56
What is XMAP15 involved in
Regulating the assembly of microtubules it stimulates growth binding to the ends of them and stimulating tubulin to join on
57
Why does XMAP-15 activity decrease during mitosis
Help control the growth and stability and for organzing the mitotic spindle which is essential for seprating chromsones correctly and you want them to be unstable so they are dynamic
58
What is the kinetochore
It is what chatches the chromsones
59
What is the zone of interdigitation
Where the chromosomes and meet and come together
60
What are astral MT
They are going away from it
61
What are the polar MT
They are not attached to chromosomes
62
What is a centromere
Attachment site for microtubules
63
What does spindle formation require
Motors and MT dynamics
64
What does Kinesin 7 do in spindle formation
Assisting with growth pushing to the + end
65
What does Kinesien 13 and dynein do
Depolymerization or shrinkage of chromsomes
66
What does tension assure
Bi-orientation that chromosomes are attached to both spindle poles
67
What happens when there is no tension
Phosphorylation of Ndc8 at kinetochore by Aurora B result in weak microtubule interactions with the kinetochore
68
What happens under tension
Aurora B does not phosphorylate and Ndc remains bound to the MT
69
What is bound to the PM
The dynein
70
What does the active corical anchor do
Does allow dynein to pull it in that direction
71
What does Kinesin 13 do in anaphase
Shrinakge and 4 also helps
72
What is anaphase driven by
Disassembly which is de polymerization chromsomes move closer to spindel
73
What is Anaphase B
Is used by motors and it pole sepration
74
What are astral microtubulers shortened by
Dynein
75
What are kinetochore microtubulers shrink by
Kinesin 4 and 13
76
What do polar microtubules help localize
RhoGTP which allows for the formation of a contractile acit myosin ring
