None Wang et al. 2010 2 2 ACB-RECITATION I 3 Part I: Match each definition below with its term from the list below (Albert Cell Bio, Chapter 16). 1. Cytoskeleton > System of protein filaments in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell its shape and the capacity for directed movement. 2. Protofilament > A linear filaments in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell its shape and the capacity for directed movement. 3. Dynamic instability > The property of sudden conversion from growth to shrinkage, and vice versa, in a protein filament such as a microtubule or an actin filament. 4. Treadmilling > The process by which a polymeric protein filament is maintained at constant length by addition of protein subunits at one end and loss of subunits at the other. 5. Myofibril > Long, highly organized bundle of actin, myosin, and other proteins in the cytoplasm of muscle cells that contracts by a sliding-filament mechanism. 6. Myosin > motor protein in muscle that generates the force for muscle contraction. 7. Stress fibers > contractile actin bundles along with non-muscle myosin II in non-muscle cells that are important for cellular contractility, cell adhesion and migration. 8. Axoneme > A microtubule-based structure inside cilia and flagella that is a ring of nine outer microtubule triplets. 9. Centriole > Short cylindrical array of microtubules, a pair of which are embedded in major microtubule-organizing center of an animal cell. 10. Dynein > Minus-end directed motor that moves along microtubules by walking toward the minus end. 11. Kinesin > Plus-end directed motor that moves along microtubules by walking toward the plus end. 12. Chemotaxis > The movement of an organism in response to a chemical stimulus. 13. Blebbing > A bulge, or protrusion of the plasma membrane of a cell, generated when the actin cortex undergoes actomyosin contractions. 14. Lamellipodium > Essentially a one-dimensional structure that protrudes from a cell and contains a core of long, bundled actin filaments. 15. Filopodium > Flattened two-dimensional protrusion of membrane, supported by a meshwork of actin filaments, that is extended from the leading edge of crawiling epithelial cells, fibroblast,…. 3 ACB-RECITATION I Part II: The schematic figure below illustrates the dynamics of actin cytoskeleton at cell cortex. Explain what happens in each step and which molecules are involved there? (Pollard et al. 2007) 4 4 ACB-RECITATION I 5 Part III: thought problems (Albert Cell Bio, Chapter 16) Question 3-1: If each type of cytoskeletal filament is made up of subunits that are held together by weak noncoavalent bonds, how is it possible for a human being to lift heavy objects? Question 3-2: A typical time course of polymerization of actin filaments from actin subunits is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1: Formation of actin filaments over time, starting with purified actin monomers that are labeled with a fluorescent probe. The three phases of polymerization are indicated as A, B, and C. a. Explain the properties of actin polymerization that account for each of the three phases of polymerization curve. b. How would the curve change if you doubled the concentration of actin? Would the concentration of free actin at equilibrium be higher or lower than in the original experiment, or would it be the same in both? Question 3-3: Dynamic instability causes microtubules either to grow or to shrink rapidly. Consider an individual microtubule that is its shrinking phase. a. What must happen at the end of microtubule in order for it to stop shrinking and start growing? b. How would an increase in tubulin concentration affect this switch from shrinking to growing? c. What would happen if GDP, but not GTP, were present in the solution? d. What would happen if the solution contained an analog of GTP that could not be hydrolyzed? 5 ACB-RECITATION I 6 Question 3-4: A solution of pure abtubulin dimers is thought to nucleate microtubules by forming a linear protofilament about seven dimers in length. At that point, the probabilities that the next αß-dimer will bind laterally or to the end of the protofilament are bound equal. The critical event for microtubule formation is thought to be the first lateral association (Fig.2). How does lateral association promote the subsequent rapid formation of a microtubule? Fig. 2: Model for microtubule nucleation b pure αß-tubulin dimers. Question 3-5: In an experiment, microtubules were grown from centrosomes at a tubulin concentration of 25 uM. The centrosomes were then diluted into lower concentartions of tubulin, and the number and the length of microtubules were plotted as a function of time (Fig. 3-5), This experiment revealed that when diluted to 7.5 uM tubulin, the number of microtubules attached to each centrosome decreased with time, and the average length of the remaining microtubule increased. At neither 15 uM nor 5 uM did both these changes occur. Which interoperation best accounts for the decrease in microtubule number and the increase in length upon dilution to 7.5 uM tubulin? a. After dilution, some microtubules continue to hydrolyze GTP, which allows them to continue to grow from their plus ends. b. After dilution, the tubulin concentration is below the critical concentration for plus-end growth, so some microtubules shrink. c. At lower tubulin level, microtubules with a GTP cap continue to grow, but those with a GDP cap rapidly depolymerize. d. from the centrosome, some microtubules from the centrosome, allowing them to rapidly depolymerize from their minus ends. 6
