Returned materials • Extra Credit Assignment: • 5 pts>OUMA • 10 pts >> Connect Bio • to OUMA • Today’s Lab:BB’s JC & • Project brainstorming • LA#4 Due 11/11 • Project Proposal/Shopping • Lists Due 11/11 Business:
Objectives: • Discuss MT structure, dynamics and organization within cells • Understand MT-based motors and the work they perform • Describe how cytoskeletal elements • interact with plasma membrane to • allow for cell-cell and cell-substrate • adhesion

MTs are Essential to Numerous Cell Events

Fig. 18-2 More Stable MTs: Neuronal Axons
Dynamic MTs: Mitotic Spindle

Conclusions for Microtubules: • Largest of the cytoskeletal filaments • / tubulin heterodimers are organized into protofilaments that align laterally to make a cylinder or tube-like structure • MTs display intrinsic polarity with the (+)-end being the faster growing end • Many MTs are organized in cells wrt to the • MTOC/Basal Body • MTs facilitate cargo transport via the action of molecular motors (kinesins, dyneins etc.)
