Question
Answer
connective tissue   lots of ECM few cells  
🗑
epithelial tissue   tightly bound sheets of cells, sparse ECM (basement membrane)  
🗑
tight junctions   "O-ring" seal, separate apical and basolateral surfaces, prevent movement between  
🗑
glycocalyx   CHO-rich coating on cells  
🗑
junctional complex   tight junctions, adherans junctions, and desmosomes  
🗑
zona adherans   continuous jxn around cell, strong adhesion btwn cells and attachment to microfilaments  
🗑
desmosomes (macula adherans)   spot welds, keratins/tonofilaments attach to them  
🗑
hemidesmosomes   spot weld to basement membrane, serves as attachment for integrin IFs  
🗑
focal adhesion   seen in TC and scar contracture, strong adhesion to ECM and attachment for microfilaments  
🗑
Gap junctions (communicating junction)   allow passage of molecules (<1500kDa) through connexons, permeability regulated by Ca and pH  
🗑
actin decoration   bind myosin head to actin for identification with EM  
🗑
phalloidin   dervied from fungus, prevents depolymerization of microfilaments  
🗑
G-Actin   unpolymerized actin  
🗑
Gels or Networks of Actin   actin filaments crosslinked with binding proteins-->rigidity  
🗑
dyneine motor   move stuff to minus end of MT (act at kinetochores during anaphase)  
🗑
kinesin motor   moves stuff to + end of MT (pushes poles apart during anaphase)  
🗑
Cadherins   Ca dependant CAM - homophilic glycoproteins, link to actin and some found in desmosomes  
🗑
Ig CAM   Ca independant - hetero or homophilic binding, includes ICAM and NCAM, found on surfaces of neural, lymphoid, and endothelial  
🗑
selectins   Ca dependant protein CAM, binds to CHO, found on leukocytes and endothelial cells, include PMNs  
🗑
Fibronectin   ECM component-large disulfide linked dimeric protein, multi domains, RGD domain critical binding seq, important for cell adhesion and migration (found in focal adhesions)  
🗑
laminin   ECM component -in BM, binding site for other ECM components  
🗑
elastin   ECM component- BV,lungs,and skin-associates w/ fibrillin (def. in Marfan)  
🗑
GAGs and proteoglycans   ECM component- makes cavities(embryo) and resists forces (joints)  
🗑
integrins   receptor for many ECM components, alpha and beta subunits span membrane often concentrated at myotendinous jxns and focal adhesions interact w/ actin, talin, filamin, and alpha actinin  
🗑
integrin a5B1   Fn receptor binds only Fn RGD  
🗑
integrin avB3   Vitronectin receptor binds several RGD  
🗑
integrin aLB2   on leukocyte binds ICAM-1 on other leukocytes and endothelial cells --> inflammatory response (def. in LAD) B2 family is target of antiinflammatory drugs  
🗑
integrin aIIbB3   on platelets, bind fibrin/fibrinogen via RGD --> clotting (def in Glanzmann's) target of anticlotting drugs  
🗑
B4 integrin   long cytoplasmic domain, found in hemidesmosomes, binds tonofilaments/keritins  
🗑
microfilaments   actin, myosin  
🗑
cytochalasin   inhibits actin polymerization  
🗑
gelsolin   dissassembles actin gels  
🗑
actin bundles   contractile ring, microvilli, stereocilia, focal adhesions  
🗑
focal adhesions   AKA stress fibers- actin bundles associate w/ integrins via vinculin, talin, and alpha actinin  
🗑
GTP Rho   stimulates stress fibers and focal adhesions  
🗑
GTP Rac   stimulates ruffles and lamellipodia  
🗑
GTP Cdc42   stimulates filopodia  
🗑
MLCK   ca regulated protein kinase in smooth muscle -->induces active conformation of myosin  
🗑
Rho-kinase   activated by Rho-->phosphorylates light chain of myosin II AND inhibits phosphatase that reverses action  
🗑
troponin   regulated by Ca in striated muslces  
🗑
spectrin   binds F actin to ankyrin (in PM)--> biconcavity of RBC  
🗑
Cell extension   regulated by Rac and Cdc42  
🗑
Cell adhesion   regulated by CAMs  
🗑
Cell contraction   regulated by Rho  
🗑
Taxol   prevents depoly of MT  
🗑
Colcemid, Colchecine, nocodozole, vinblastin   causes depolymerization of MT  
🗑
Type 1 IF   tonofilaments, keratins, cytokeratins  
🗑
tonofilaments   insert into desmosomes and hemidesmosomes  
🗑
keratins   tissue specific, defective in EBS  
🗑
Type 2 IF   crosslink to other MT, e.g. vimentin to MT in fibroblast  
🗑
Type 3 IF   neurofilaments, primarilty structural, crosslink MT and actin  
🗑
Type 4 IF   nuclear lamins, provide structure to nucleas, phosphorylation disintegrates them for mitosis  
🗑
Nulclear Pore movements   in/out determined by NLS and regulated by Ran  
🗑
