The Cytoskeleton and Cell Motility
![Page 2: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Introduction
• The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous structures: microtubulues, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments.
![Page 3: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Properties of cytoskeletal components

9.1 Overview of the Major Functions of the Cytoskeleton (1)
• The cytoskeleton has many roles:– Serves as a scaffold providing structural
support and maintaining cell shape.– Serves as an internal framework to organize
organelles within the cell.– Directs cellular locomotion and the movement
of materials within the cell.

9.2 Study of the Cytoskeleton (1)
• The Use of Live-Cell Fluorescence Imaging– Can be used to locate fluorescently-labeled
target proteins.– Molecular processes can be observed (live-
cell imaging).– Used to reveal the location of a protein
present in very low concentrations.
![Page 8: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

9.3 Microtubules (1)
• Structure and Composition– Microtubules are hollow, cylindrical structures.– The microtubule is a set of globular proteins
arranged in longitudinal rows called protofilaments.
– Microtubules contain 13 protofilaments.– Each protofilament is assembled from dimers
of α- and ß-tubulin subunits assembled into tubules with plus and minus ends.
![Page 12: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The structure of microtubules
![Page 13: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Microtubules (2)
• Microtubule-Associated Proteins (MAPs)– MAPs comprise a heterogeneous group of
proteins.– MAPs attach to the surface of microtubules to
increase their stability and promote their assembly.
– MAPs are regulated by phosphorylation of specific amino acid residues.
![Page 14: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Microtubules (2)
• Microtubules as Structural Supports and Organizers– The distribution of
microtubules determines the shape of the cell.
– Microtubules maintain the internal organization of cells.
![Page 16: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Microtubules (3)
• Microtubules as Structural Supports and Organizers– Microtubules
function in axonal transport.
– Microtubules play a role in axonal growth during embryogenesis.
![Page 17: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Microtubules (4)
• Microtubules as Structural Supports and Organizers– In plant cells, microtubules help maintain cell shape by
influencing formation of the cell wall.
![Page 18: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Microtubules (5)
• Microtubules as Agents of Intracellular Motility– They facilitate movement of vesicles between
compartments.– Axonal transport:
• Movement of neurotransmitters across the cell.• Movement away from the cell body (anterograde)
and toward the cell body (retrograde).• Mediate tracks for a variety of motor proteins.
![Page 19: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

![Page 22: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Microtubules (6)
• Motor Proteins that Traverse the Microtubular Cytoskeleton– Molecular motors convert energy from ATP
into mechanical energy.– Molecular motors move unidirectionally along
their cytoskeletal track in a stepwise manner.– Three categories of molecular motors:
• Kinesin and dynein move along microtubule tracks.• Myosin moves along microfilament tracks.
![Page 23: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Microtubules (7)
• Kinesins– Kinesin—member of a superfamily called
KLPs (kinesin-like proteins).– A kinesin is a tetramer of two identical heavy
chains and two identical light chains.– Each kinesin includes a pair of globular heads
(motor domain), connected to a rod-like stalk.– Kinesin is a plus end-directed microtubular
motor based on its movement.
![Page 24: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 25: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Microtubules (8)
• Kinesins (continued)– They move along a single protofilament of a
microtubule at a velocity proportional to the ATP concentration.
– Movement is processive, motor protein moves along an individual microtubule for a long distance without falling off.
– KLPs move cargo toward the cell’s plasma membrane.
![Page 26: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Microtubules (9)
• Cytoplasmic Dynein– Dynein – responsible for the movement of
cilia and flagella.– Cytoplasmic dynein – Huge protein with a
globular, force-generating head. – It is a minus end-directed microtubular motor.– Requires an adaptor (dynactin) to interact with
membrane-bounded cargo.
![Page 28: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Microtubules (10)
• Microtubule-Organizing Centers (MTOCs)– MTOCs – specialized structures for the
nucleation of microtubules.– Centrosome – structures responsible for
initiating microtubules in animal cells.• It contains two barrel-shaped centrioles
surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM).• Centrioles are usually found in pairs.
![Page 31: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Microtubules (11)
• Centrosomes (continued)– Responsible for
initiation and organization of the microtubular cystoskeleton.
– Microtubules terminate in the PCM.
![Page 34: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Microtubules (12)
• Basal Bodies and Other MTOCs– Basal body – structure where outer
microtubules in a cilia and flagella are generated.
– Plant cells lack MTOCs and their microtubules are organized around the surface of the nucleus.
![Page 36: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Microtubules (13)
• Microtubule Nucleation– MTOCs control the number of microtubules,
their polarity, the number of protofilaments, and the time and location of their assembly.
– The protein -tubulin is found in all MTOCs and is critical for microtubule nucleation.
![Page 37: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Microtubules (14)
• The Dynamic Properties of Microtubules
• There are four distinct arrays of microtubules in a dividing plant cell:– Widely distributed throughout the cortex.– Making a single transverse band.– In the form of a mitotic spindle.– As a phargmoplast assisting in the formation
of the cell wall of daughter cells.
![Page 39: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Microtubules (15)
• The Dynamic Properties of Microtubules– Newly formed microtubules branch at an
angle of pre-existing microtubules.– The changes in spatial organization of
microtubules are a combination of two mechanisms:
• Rearrangement of existing microtubules.• Disassembly of existing microtubules and
reassembly of new one in different locations.
![Page 41: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Microtubules (16)
• The Underlying Basis of Microtubule Dynamics– Insight into factors that influence microtubule
assembly and disassembly came from studies in vitro.
– GTP is required for microtubule assembly.– Hydrolysis of GTP leads to a replacement of
bound GDP by new GTP to “recharge” the tubulin dimer.
![Page 44: CHAPTER 9](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568149fe550346895db72f56/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
