Lecture 30 - Mictotubules - final list

    Protofilaments tubulin dimer: alpha & beta
      " + " end = assembly/disassembly end
      " - " end is "capped" by the MTOC
    MTOC = MT Organizing Center
      gamma-tubulin ring complex

    centrosome = cell center

    dynein - minus end directed motor

    Large kinesin family includes:
      - plus end motors
      - minus end motors
      - and MT destabilizers

    mitosis

    nocodazole

    Cytoplasmic positioning:
      classical kinesin - ER
      dynein - Golgi complexes

    axoplasmic transport
      toward the axon tip: kinesins (plus end MT motors)
      toward neuron body - cytoplasmic dynein and KIFC kinesins (minus end kinesins)
