Intermediate filaments ? Lamins and their role in anization of the nucleus ? Keratins and their role in tissue maintenance The movement of a eukaryotic cell W2011 - D103 Cell Biology – lecture 8 ?

The mammalian flagellum W2011 - D103 Cell Biology – lecture 8 ?

MTs are cross-linked to each other ? found in sperm and many protozoa W2011 - D103 Cell Biology – lecture 8 ?

Found in many epithelial cells ( eg respiratory tract) 2. Single non-motile primary cilium ? no dynein ? site of signal transduction ? contains many signaling molecules Defects cause ciliopathies ( eg polycystic kidney disease) W2011 - D103 Cell Biology – lecture 8 ? Suetterlin and MacGregor - all rights reserved. 6 Intermediate filaments ? nm in diameter ? biochemically heterogeneous: at least 70 genes in mammalian cells ? tissue specific ? found mainly in anisms ? main function: Impart physical strength to cells and tissues Keratin lamin7 ? not conserved: not found in all eukaryotes, not found in al
