Document Summary
Cytoskeleton compartments: microtubule, centrosome with pair of centrioles, actin filaments. Rapid changes in cytoskeleton organization during cell division (page 2) Endocytosis clathrin mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis. 1. 2 cytoskeleton outline: three types of major filaments, actin filaments, microtubules c. Intermediate filaments: principles underlying polymerization, nucleation, elongation, steady state, regulation of cytoskeleton, accessory proteins, signal induce changes in cytoskeletal arrangement, and so cell behavior. 2 protofilament (f actin) head to tail. The polarity is generated from the subunit of g actin (plus and minus) head to tail fashion to form 1 protofilament. Similar to g-actin, alpha-tubulin has a pocket for energy. Heterodimer is made up of alpha and beta-tubulin. Head to tail fashion protofilament will keep the polarity of the alpha beta keto. Microtubule is made up of 13 protofilaments in a parallel fashion. Laminopathies: muscular-dsytophy, cadiomyopathy, restrictive dermopathy, lidodystrophy, hgps. Much less is known about if assembly, disassembly, and dynamicity. Percentage of tubulin molecules in microtubules increases over time (same graph)
