MCB 150 Lecture Notes - Lecture 33: Axoneme, Cell Membrane, Basal Body
Document Summary
It is a regular arrangement of mt in 9 triplet structure (abc and not alpha etc) Amorphous collection of protein from which mt emanates. This is how we avoid the nucleation step by just adding onto a. Mts giving nerve cells its specialized chape platform of sorts. Mts in dendrites are facing all directions. Mts in axons are all facing the same way. Kinesin (move towards plus end, for the purposes of mcb 150) Dynein (move towards minus end , ^) Minus end in centrosome and plus extending towards plasma membrane. Use whichever motor protein to get something to its final destination. Both motor proteins are on the organelle. Combines them and concentrates the color to be detectable. Cilia are bigger and not as numerous as microvilli. Has 9 duple mts (ab) and a central pair. Has motor proteins in the structure of cilia. Will reach out to grab the b tubule of the other duple (neighbor)
