MCB 150 FINAL UPDATED SCRIPT QUESTIONS
AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
◉ Taxol.
Answer: stabilizes microtubules rather than block formation
◉ MOC.
Answer: Microtubule Organizing Centers, Centrosome, located
adjacent to the nucleus in interphase cells
◉ Centrosome.
Answer: MT Organizing center, in animal cells consists of a pair of
centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material
◉ Centrioles.
Answer: pair of structures made of microtubules in a "nine triplet"
arrangement with connecting proteins
◉ PCM.
Answer: Pericentriolar Material, amorphous (without shape)
collection of proteins from which the MTs emanate
, ◉ Gamma Tubulin.
Answer: Source for new MTs, Platform for new MT dimers
◉ Dynein.
Answer: Motor protein that moves towards the minus end
◉ Kinesin.
Answer: Motor protein that moves towards the plus end
◉ Axoneme.
Answer: Structural unit of cilia and flagella, "9+2" pattern, only has
Dyneins
◉ Basal Body.
Answer: Minus ends of MTs of cilia and flagella are anchored into
this structure
◉ Lamin B.
Answer: Stay bound to the nuclear membrane during prophase
◉ Lamin A & C.
