(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The orientation of actin and myosin in stress fibers present in nonmuscle cells.

Introduction: Stress fibers present in nonmuscle cells are contractile in nature and are composed of actin and myosin II. Myosin II is a major component for the contraction of stress fibers in nonmuscle cells. Myosin fibers are ATP dependent and hydrolysis of ATP can bring a significant change in the conformation of myosin fibers resulting in the movement of actin filaments.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The ability of role of fibroblasts to wrinkle the rubber would change if treated with a permeable form of C3 transferase that modifies an amino acid present in Rho.

Introduction: Rho protein plays a major role in the activation of stress fibers. Stress fibers present in nonmuscle cells are contractile in nature and are composed of actin and myosin II. Myosin II is a major component for the contraction of stress fibers in nonmuscle cells.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To understand: The activity of active Rho in the fibroblasts.

Introduction: Rho protein plays a major role in the activation of stress fibers. Stress fibers present in nonmuscle cells are contractile in nature and are composed of actin and myosin II. Myosin II is a major component for the contraction of stress fibers in nonmuscle cells.

Salmoneus dies.When a cell dies its plasma membrane becomes“leaky”;i.e.,it becomes permeable to ions that were unable to freely cross the membrane during life. Thus, after death, calcium ions leak across the sarcolemma of muscle fibers. This calcium leak causes rigor mortis, a temporary stiffness of the muscles after death. Apply your understanding of the mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction (specifically regarding events within muscle fibre) and explain the molecular basis of the phenomenon known as rigor mortis.
