Actin filaments, microtubules, and bacterial flagella are all built from small subunits. Describe three advantages of assembling long filamentous structures from subunits rather than from single, long proteins.
Actin filaments in a test tube: O a. undergo disassembly if the concentration of free ATP-bound actin monomers is very high and latrunculin is added O b. rapidly grow if the concentration of free ATP-bound actin monomers is very high and a latrunculin is added O c. undergo treadmilling if the concentration of free ATP-bound actin monomers is intermediate and phalloidin is added O d. rapidly grow if the concentration of free ATP-bound actin monomers is intermediate and cytochalasin is added
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 The role of ATP hydrolysis in actin polymerizationis similar to the role of GTP hydrolysis in tubulin polym-erization: both serve to weaken the bonds in the polymerand thereby promote depolymerization.2 Motor neurons trigger action potentials in musclecell membranes that open voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channelsin T tubules, allowing extracellular Ca2+ to enter the cyto-sol, bind to troponin C, and initiate rapid muscle contrac-tion.3 In most animal cells, minus-end directed microtu-bule motors deliver their cargo to the periphery of the cell,whereas plus-end directed microtubule motors delivertheir cargo to the interior of the cell.
You are studying the rate of actin polymerization and depolymerization in an in-vitro hypothetical system. The G actin concentration in the solution of the experimental setup is 0.3μm. Based on the data values predict the outcome of the experiment. Please note that X or Y ends can be "any end" of the actin filament. -1 X end actin: Association rate: 10 µmS-¹ ; Dissociation rate: 2.5 µmS-¹ Y end actin: Association rate: 5 µmS-¹ ; Dissociation rate: 2.5 µmS-¹ O The X end of the actin filament will grow. O Neither X or Y end of the filament will grow. O The Y end of the actin filament will grow. O There is not sufficient data to predict the

Neurofilament proteins assemble into long, intermediate filaments , found in abundance running along the length of nerve cell axons. The C-terminal region of these proteins is an unstructured polypeptide, hundreds of amino acids long and heavily modified by the addition of phosphate groups. The term “polymer brush” has been applied to this part of the neurofilament. can you suggest why?
