Sarcomeres
________ are what the organization of actin thin filaments and myosin thick filaments in skeletal muscle cells are called.
New cards
2
CH domain family
The ________ is the main housing of many actin cross- linked proteins.
New cards
3
ATP
The-) (end of actin filaments is polarized and has an exposed ________ binding site.
New cards
4
G actin
When ________ is above Cc, filaments grow and when it is below Cc, then filaments depolymerize.
New cards
5
external signals
The organization and assembly of the cytoskeleton can be induced through ________, and the internal of both G proteins and calcium can be induced as well.
New cards
6
Contractile
________ bundles with primitive sarcomere like organization can be formed by actin filaments and myosin II in nonmuscle cells.
New cards
7
Intracellular translocation of various membrane
________ limited vesicles along actin filaments are powered by myosins I, V, and VI.
New cards
8
Critical concentration
________ (Cc) is the equilibrium of actin monomers and actin filaments.
New cards
9
eukaryotic cells
Actin is a huge part of the cytoskeleton and is abundantly found in ________.
New cards
10
Bacteria
________ and viruses can be moved and the shape of a cell can be changed through the regulated polymerization of actin.
New cards
11
filaments of actin
The ________ are organized into networks and bundles divided by cross- linked proteins.
New cards
12
Cell locomotion
________ occurs through actin polymerization and branching generated movement, adhesion structures assembly, and myosin II- mediated cortical contraction.
New cards
13
Globular G actin
________ and F- actin are both subunits oriented in the same direction.
New cards
14
Polymerization of G actin
________ and nucleation occur at the same time in cells, and once polymerization stabilizes the rates for the addition and loss of subunits becomes equal.
