What would be the consequence for actin filament assembly/disassembly if a mutation prevented actin’s ability to bind ATP? What would be the consequence if a mutation prevented actin’s ability to hydrolyze ATP?
Why is it that intermediate filaments have iden-tical ends and lack polarity, whereas actin filaments andmicrotubules have two distinct ends with a defined polar-ity?
Intermediate filaments are composed of?
If you were to watch muscle tissue contract: Under a light microscope, would you see the muscle fibers get narrower, or the striations get thinner? Explain. At the EM level, focusing on one sarcomere, you would be able to see a region of thick filaments overlapping two regions of thin filaments. Use the structure of the thick filaments to explain how ONE region of thick filaments is able to pull in microfilament in two opposite directions (both toward the center of the sarcomere).
What would be the consequences of actin filament assembly/disassembly if a mutation prevented actins ability to bing ATP
There are no known motor proteins that move along intermediate filaments, in contrast to the variety of such proteins that associate with microtubules and actin filaments. What characteristic of intermediate filaments, in their polymerized form, might explain the absence of associated motor proteins? Briefly explain your reasoning.
Cell Biology: Q. Discuss the structural formation (composition) of intermediate filaments
A melanosome (type of vesicle containing the pigment melanin) is transported towards the nucleus of the cell. The hydrolysis of ATP is involved with this movement. Identify the most likely motor protein and cytoskeletal filament involved with this transport.
Actin filaments have a defined polarity. What is filament polarity? How is it generated at the subunit level?
