Document Summary

2 kinds of filaments seen in animal muscle: thin and thick. Major structural component of thin filament is g-actin monomers that combine to form. Myosin is the thick filament, which has 2 heavy chains and 4 light chains in one single myosin molecule (hence a hexamer since there are 6 proteins) In myosin, the actin-binding site and atp-binding site are very close together, which is related to how actin and myosin interact. This is only showing one myosin molecule but there can be many, and we"re also focusing on only one myosin head. Starting at #2: binding of atp to atp-binding site of myosin ii head; binding changes config of the head so it can no longer bind to actin and it comes off the actin to which it was previously bound. Proximity of atp-binding and actin-binding site as you can see is very important. Myosin head also has enzymatic function: it can hydrolyze atp; so after atp binds,

1. Kinesin-1 motors can move long distances on microtubule tracks without dissociating. By contrast, myosin II motors in skeletal muscle take only one or a few steps before letting go. What is most likely the difference between these two motors that allow two different types of movement?

A. Differences in length of the stalk of each respective motor allow for differences in step size

B. Differences in ATP versus GTP hydrolysis alter the motor head movement along filaments

C. Actin filaments are smaller in diameter and have less space for movement

D. Binding affinity of the Kinesin-1 motor head to microtubules is high, whereas binding affinity of the myosin II motor head to actin filaments is low

E. Microtubules are larger in diameter and have more space for movement

2. Dynamic instability causes microtubules either to grow or to shrink rapidly. What is the most likely reason for a microtubule to undergo rapid growth?

A. GTP hydrolysis exceeds the rate of heterodimer addition

B. GTP hydrolysis of alpha tubulin causes an outward bend in the heterodimer conformation

C. A low concentration of tubulin heterodimers are in solution

D. Heterodimer addition exceeds the rate of GTP hydrolysis
