Compare and contrast the biochemical properties, structure and functions of microtubules and intermediate filaments
-
Functions
Microtubules
Mitotic spindle
-
Colchicine drug disrupts the mitotic spindle and stops cell division by destablizing the microtubules
the drug binds to a protein called tubulin. which the protein that forms the core the mircotubule : structure
-
-
Cell shape
cell shape and interacellular transport is a role that microtubules play a part in the formation of nerve cells
-
Evidence: colchicine interves with the growth of axons therefore interve with the regulation of cell shape during development and repair
Microtubules assembly is important for the growth of axons which development key changes in cell shape
-
Biochemical properties
-
intermediate filaments
polymerisation of several classes of cell specific subunit protein including keratins, lamins and vimentin
