Q

When a ton of G-actin bind together…

A

It forms F-actin which stands are filamentous actin and two of these stick together to form a microfilament

Q

Make up of kinesins

A

heterotretramers
made of of 4 subunits that are not all the same
2 subunits: heavy chains, with two head groups that are the feet
2 other subunits: light chains

16
Q

How kinesins move

A

ATP binds head to the microtubule causing a conformational change and swing with other head bound to ADP forward (ADP has head be detacted)

Q

Direction of dyneins

A

move to the cell center to the minus end and is called retrograde transport

18
Q

Axonemal dyneins

A

found in cells with only cilia or flagellum

19
Q

Cytoplasm dyneins

A

transport cargo for cell function

20
Q

Myosins

A

ATP-ases

main job: muscle contraction

21
Q

What myosins are composed of

A

head, neck, and tail domains

22
Q

Cell adhesion molecules types

A

selectins, cadherins, integrins

23
Q

Selectins

A

mediated inflammatory cells: platelets and endothelial cells

24
Q

How selectins works

A

cytokines express selectins. luekocytes stick to selectins to slow them down and do reaction
Heterophilic and Ca2+ dependent

25
Q

Cadherins

A

cell growth and development

calcium ions, span entire cell membrane, transmembrane

26
Q

Integrins

A

adheres to extracellular matrix and cell signaling
location: cell membrane
Action: binds ligands and cations

27
Q

Cell junctions

A

anchoring junctions
gap junctions
tight junctions

28
Q

Anchoring junctions

A

connect cytoskeleton of one cell with the cytoskeleton of another or extracellular matrix

29
Q

Adherens junction and desmosomes

A

types of anchoring junctions

30
Q

Gap junctions

A

connexin which links the cytosol of neighboring cells. facilitates cell-to-cell communication

31
Q

What can pass through gap junctions?

A

amino acids, vitamins, sugars, nucleotides, Ca2+, and cAMP

32
Q

Tight junctions

A

in epithelial cells and do not allow anything but water and some ions
contain occludin and claudin
EX) blood brain barrier

33
Q

Regions of an antibody

A

constant region, variable regions, and hypervariable regions (where antigens bind)

34
Q

Isotypes of antibodies

A

different kinds of antibodies

35
Q

IgA

A

in gut, blocks pathogens and respiratory tract

36
Q

IgD

A

b cells

37
Q

IgE

A

allergic and anti-parasitic immunity

38
Q

IgM

A

early response

39
Q

IgG

A

eliminates bacterial and viral pathogens (most common)- only ones to cross placental membrane

40
Q

Class switching

A

b-cells and change isotypes by changing heavy change but keeping hypervariable region
