Integrating Cells into Tissues 1
The major type of animal tissues.
What are muscle, connective, epithelial, and nervous tissues?
The protein that gap junctions are composed of.
What are connexins?
Glycoproteins that contain glycosaminoglycans.
What are proteoglycans?
The cellular projections that are microtubule-based.
What are cilia and flagella?
Two nucleators of assembly of branch microtubules.
What is augmin and γ-TuRC?
The major families of cell surface adhesion molecules.
The cell junctions that are made up of claudin, occludin, and tricellulin.
What are tight junctions?
Where the polymerization of collagen into large collagen fibers occurs.
What is extracellularly?
Actin-binding proteins that increase the rate of actin depolymerization on the minus end of the filament.
What is cofilin?
Nucleates branched filament assembly.
What is Arp2/3 complex?
The cell junction that's the most apical.
What are tight junctions?
A thin, sheet-like meshwork of extracellular matrix components that can be found in epithelial cells.
What is the basal lamina?
The component that binds to the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence and is expressed in a cell-specific manner.
What are integrins?
An actin-binding protein that increases the rate of actin polymerization on the plus end of the filament.
What is profilin?
Assembles long actin filaments.
What are formins?
The cell junction(s) that aren't lateral.
What are hemidesmosomes?
The components that make up the basal lamina.
What are type IV collagen, laminin, nidogen, and perlecan?
Rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline.
What is the collagen triple-helix domain?
Cytoskeletal element is primarily used for the long-range transport of organelles.
What are microtubules?
Proteins that enhance disassembly at the ends of microtubules.
What are Kinesin-13 and Stathmin?
The transmembrane proteins that desmosomes contain.
What are desmoglein and desmocollin?
A tripeptide located on fibronectin that helps connect the integrin to collagen.
What is the RGD sequence?
What is hyaluronic acid?
Cytoskeletal element that doesn't have associated motor proteins.
What are intermediate filaments?
Proteins that enhance assembly at the end of microtubules.
What are XAMP215 and CLASP?
