The steps for the modification of cell fractionation procedure for the isolation of flagellar motors that spans the envelope from inner to outer membrane. Introduction: Cellular fractionation is a technique used for the separation of cellular components by conserving their functional properties. Generally, it is used for determining the location of cellular components of several biochemical processes. The cell fraction can also enable the detailed study of the constituting parts of the cell. This technique was given by Albert Claude.

List and describe the three main types of cytoskeleton. If you wanted to do immunocytochemistry to specifically stain each type of cytoskeleton, what is a protein that could be used for each cytoskeletal type (in other words, what is a unique protein for each cytoskeletal type)? What are three types of actin structures? Describe the involvement of actin structures in cell migration. How is the growth and shrinking of microtubules regulated? Then describe the roles of microtubules in: chromosomal separation during mitosis and the movement of organelles and vesicles within a cell. Describe a possible mechanism on how signaling pathways might impact the cytoskeleton, so that cell migration could be regulated in a localized manner within a multicellular organism. (hint: think about the possible transcriptional regulation of the G-protein regulators) What are 2 main challenges of protein targeting? Then describe one way these challenges are overcome during signal-based targeting and one way…

Draw a pair of antiparallel microtubules across the page. The following should be clarified or added: a. plus and minus ends clearly denoted on both microtubules b. the fact that each microtubule is a polymer of alpha+beta heterodimers must be denoted (with correct orientation) c. one microtubule is bound by a simple representation of plus-end directed motor protein. The motor protein should be named and representation indicates which direction it moves. d. one microtubule is bound by a simple representation of minus-end directed motor protein. The motor protein should be named and representation indicates which direction it moves.

What mechanistic features are shared by (a) the formation of multivesicular endosomes by budding into the interior of an endosome and (b) the outward budding of HIV virus at the cell surface? You wish to design a peptide inhibi- tor/competitor of HIV budding and decide to mimic a portion of the HIV Gag protein in a synthetic peptide. Which portion of the HIV Gag protein would be a logical choice? What normal cellular process might this inhibitor block?
