MCB*4580 Membrane Biochemistry Lesson 11 Cytoskeleton III –Actin-based motility Instructions: Answer the following questions using any resources you can obtain. When you are done, submit your answers as a Word document to the Dropbox folder . Contributions: If you worked in a group, list the members of the group and their contribution(s) to these responses: Paper #1: Loisel et al 1999 What are the three main points of the paper? (Final paragraph Paper) List the basic components (buffers and proteins) and their concentrations in the motility medium that the authors observed Listeria motility (Paper). Drawing on your own experience and other resources, very briefly note what each component in the solution does (your experience + internet). The motility medium contained: What was the maximum motility rate for Listeria in the motility assay (Paper)? Paper #2: Ohkawa et al 2010 In Figure 1A bottom time series pictures— What did they do to the baculoviruses and the cells so they could visualize the viruses and actin in the cells? (Methods ) What kind of cells are these (Methods)? What organism do they come from? (Internet) What evidence from Figure 1 suggests that the motility of the viruses is due to the P78/83 protein? What evidence confirms the involvement of actin polymerization and Arp 2/3 proteins in the motility of baculoviruses? Compare the velocity of baculoviruses to those of Listeria or Shigella bacteria inside living cells (Paper). THINKING QUESTION
MCB*4580 Membrane Biochemistry You want to test the idea that the P78/83 protein from baculovirus is the only protein required for motility of the virus in an in vitro motility assay. What kind of object would you track and how would you ensure that you are only testing the P protein, and nothing else from baculoviruses?
