Microtubule Motors Flashcards
cilia consist of three parts
basal body, transitional zone, and axoneme
type of cells cilia present in
non-dividing cells
Typical cilium or flagellum consists of this many MT filament doublets
9 MT doublets
cilium or flagellum 9 MT filament doublets refered to as:
A and B
Typical cilium or flagellum consists of this many MT filament singlets in center
2 singlets in center
Doublets are connected to central pair by:
radial spokes
Doublets are connected to each other by:
Nexin
type of cilia are not motile and lack central pair (9+0)
primary cilia
have same structure as centrioles and are interchangeable
basal bodies
basal body consist of 9 groups of:
9 groups of fused triplet MTs (arranged in cartwheel)
this ring in the basal body’s fused triplet MTs makes complete ring
A (B and C incomplete rings)
many single cell organisms use cilia and flagella for:
motility
type types of cilia
motile and non-motile
every non-dividing cell has a cilium in:
vertebrates
function of immotile (primary) cilia
sense extracellular signlaing molecules
beating cilia generate:
fluid flow
beating cilia generate fluid flow that assists in: (2)
tubule development and organ function
part of immotile cilia highly dynamic and undergoes continual turnover
outer segment
main sensory cell
OSN
OSN is main sensory cell that contains components of
olfactory signaling cascade
main sensory cell that contains components of olfactory signaling cascade
Olfactory Sensory Neuron (OSN)
part of OSN that is directly exposed to odors in nasal cavity
dendritic knob
project from basal body (BB) into mucous of Olfactory Epithelium
Olfactory cilia
olfactory support cells that have microvilli
sustentacular cells (SC)
play role in maintaining water balance and regulating mucous ion content in olfactory
SC (sustentacular cells)
stemm cells that replenish OSN and SC populations
basal cells (BC)
each OSN expresses:
one type of odorant receptor
All OSNs with same receptor make connections to neurons in same region of:
Olfactory Bulb (where odor processed)
odorants bind receptor located in PM of:
cilia (on OSN)
activated olfactory receptor stimulates:
Gaolf
mechanism of smell: Gaolf activates:
AC III
mechanism of smell: increased cAMP triggers opening of:
cyclic nucleotide gated (CNG) Ca2+ channel
mechanism of smell: Ca2+ binds:
calcium-gated Cl- channel
mechanism of smell: these two processes trigger depolarization
Cl- efflux and Ca2+ influx
mechanism of smell: action potential triggers release of:
neurotransmitter
type of transport goes from cell body to synapse,
anterograde transport
type of transport goes from synapse to cell body
retrograde transport
type of transport associated with axonal growth and delivery of synaptic vesicles
anterograde transport
type of transport associated with bringing “old” membranes from synapse to cell body, where degraded in lysosomes
retrograde transport
these extend from dorsal horn of spinal chord into the limbs
Dorsal-root ganglia
axonal transports this the fastest
vesicles
axonal transport of this the slowest
tubulin
3 steps for purifying motor protein
- add cytoplasmic extract and organelles to MTs in AMPNP
- precipitate MTs
- replace AMPNP with ADP
