Cards

Term
Stability depends on (3 things)
Definition

1. The amount of free tubulin subunit

2. The rate of hydrolysis

3. GTP cap

Term

Destabilizing Proteins

Stathmin

Definition
A tublin dymer that sequesters the free tublin in the cytoplasm. It promotes disassembly
Term
Katanin- severing protein
Definition
An ATPase that severs the MT in the middle. It uses the energy of ATP to disrupt end to end assocaiton.
Term
Kinesin 13- a motor and destabilizing protein
Definition
it binds to + ( beta) and pryse the protifilaments apart
Term
Stabilizing Protein Tau
Definition

MAP2 MAPs: it needs to be in its de(P) state in order to the side of the MT. It helps stablize structure.

Many disorder have (P) and have problems de(p)

eg. Alzheimer's

Term
+ Tip ( Stabilizing proteins)
Definition

they bind to the + end

they add tubulin to the + end and acts as a polymerase.

This helps in stabilization

Term
Motor Protiens
Definition
they bind to MT and they will move diffrent cargo in either the + or - direction
Term

Kinesin

Stucture and Function

Definition

-it is going to move cargo towards the + end

-they are composed of two heavy chains and two light chains

-they have four domains 1. Motor domain which are globular in nature

2. The stalk which is very flexiable

3. Short neck region between the head and the stalk

4. The c-terminal domani which is going to bind with the ligh chain( binds the cargo)

 

Term
To bind to cargo we need
Definition
Adapter proteins and receptors on the vesicles
Term
In Vitro motility assays
Definition

1. Take a slide and attach MT tracks

2. Use MT with know MOTC such as centersome

3. Use motor proteins with hybrid beads attached with a laser.

Term
Mechanisms of Movement
Definition

They move 8nm, they walk hand on hand in a progressive fashion

The important thing is to co-ordinate the ATP cycles of hydrolysis. No nucleotide leads to tight binding as is ATP and ADP is weak binding.

Both will be bound to ADP then on ADP gets relaesd and an ATP comes on which sends the other hand forward, as soon as that hand hits the MT it will hydrolyisis its ADP and then the other one will kinase its ADP to ATP.

Term
Dynei
Definition

this motor protein will move towards the minus end ( towards the MOTC)

- giant ATPase: cytoplamic and axonemal

Term

cytoplasmic

dynei stucture

Definition
1. A domain that binds to the MT 2. a short stalk ( coiled stalk) 3. large motor protein 4. long stem which connects to 5. C-terminus
Term
Dynactin
Definition

multi protein complex that is goin t o connect o light and heacy and intermediat chains they help bind to cargo

The motor heads consists of 6ATPase and only one domain will hydrolyze the ATP

Term
Dynein power stroke
Definition
to bind to the MT we need to be in an open state or no nt bound. NO MT is very tight binding, then ATP will bind, ATP will be hydrolyzed and we get immedaite relase of the ADP +pi. But the hydrolization is going to casue a counterclockwise shift, which is gonig to shift the stalk while the stem stays the same: this is gonig to lead to angular displacment.
