| Protofilament, Heterodimer, Tubulin Monomers | Protofilament: The whole heterodimer and monomer(alpha or beta monomers) all together.
Heterodimer: Alpha and Beta monomers.
Monomer: An alpha or Beta particle.
🗑

||||
| Bacteria Actin Equivalent | MreB
🗑
|
||||
| Vinblastine and Vincristine | -Affect MTs
-Aggregate tubulin heterodimers
🗑
|
||||
| Phallodin | -Affects MFs

- (+) No polymerization
- (-) No depolymerization
🗑
|
||||
| Taxol | - Affects MTs
- Stabilizes MTs
- (+) No polymerization
- (-) No depolymerization
-Everything is stable.
🗑
|
||||
| Latrunculin A | - Affects MFs
- Sequesters actin monomers
"JAIL" (Puts monomers separately in a corner or "jail" to keep from polymerizing.
🗑
|
||||
| Microfilament Actins | - G-actin
- F-actin
- G-actin: Monomers of F-actin
- F-actin: Polymerized G-actin which form filaments.
🗑
|
||||
| Cytochalasin D | - Affects MTs
- Prevents addition of new monomers to plus ends ("thinks plus end is ugly and won't hook up with it")
🗑
|
||||
| Colchicine Colcemid | - Affects MTs
- Binds tubulin monomers, inhibiting self assembly (binds to both/either alpha or beta monomers and won't let them polymerize).
🗑
|
||||
| Nocadazole | - Affects MTs
- Binds to Beta-tubulin, inhibiting polymerization (thus will not allow the monomers to bind).
🗑
|
||||
| Singlet MTs | - 13 profilaments
- Cytoplasmic MTs
🗑
|
||||
| Doublet MTs | - One of the 13 protofilament part and one additional incomplete 10 or 11 protofilament part.
- Ex: Cilia and flagella
🗑
|
||||
| Triplet MTs | - One 13 protofilament part and two additional 10 or 11 protofilament parts.
- Ex: Basal bodies and centrioles
🗑
|
||||
| Microtubule Nucleation | - When oligomers (groups of aggregated tubulin heterodimers) form nuclei from which MTs grow.
🗑
|
||||
| Microtubule Elongation | - The stage in which nucleated MTs grow by the addition of subunits at either end.
🗑
|
||||
| MT Lag Phase | Nucleation
🗑
|
||||
| MT Elongation Phase | - Tubulin heterodimers are added to the nucleated MT and it grows.
🗑
|
||||
| MT Plateau Phase | - MT assembly and disassembly are balanced.
🗑
|
||||
| MT Critical Concentration | - The tubulin heterodimer concentration at which MT assembly is exactly balanced with disassembly.
🗑
|
||||
| MT Plus End | - The rapidly growing end of the MT.
🗑
|
||||
| MT Minus End | - The slowly growing end of the MT
OR
- The depolymerizing end when the critical concentration is reached for the plus end, but not the minus end.
🗑
|
||||
| Treadmilling | - When a given tubulin molecule incorporated at the plus end is displaced progressively along.
-The MT eventually are lost by depolymerization at the opposite end.
🗑
|
||||
| MAPs | -MT-associated proteins.
-MAPs increased MT stability and can affect the density of bundles of MTs.
-Tau: Causes MTs to form tight bundles in axons.
-MAP2: Causes the formation of looser bundles of MTs.
🗑
|
||||
| Tau | Causes MTs to form tight bundles in axons.
🗑
|
||||
