cytoskeleton

Examples of cytoskeleton in the following topics:

• Injuring the Plasma Membrane

  • It serves as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, glycocalyx, and intracellular cytoskeleton.
  • The plasma membrane also plays a role in anchoring the cytoskeleton to provide shape to the cell and in attaching to the extracellular matrix and other cells to help group cells together to form tissues .

• Common Bacterial Traits

  • Bacteria were once seen as simple bags of cytoplasm, but elements such as prokaryotic cytoskeleton, and the localization of proteins to specific locations within the cytoplasm have been found to show levels of complexity.

• MreB and Determinants of Cell Morphology

  • MreB is a cytoskeleton element that assembles into filamentous structures within the bacterial cytoplasm.

• Centrosome

  • In mitosis the nuclear membrane breaks down and the centrosome nucleated microtubules (parts of the cytoskeleton) can interact with the chromosomes to build the mitotic spindle .

• Fts Proteins and Cell Division

  • FtsZ was the first protein of the prokaryotic cytoskeleton to be identified.

• Treatment of Animal Viral Infections

  • Infection by different coronaviruses cause in the host alteration in the transcription and translation patterns, in the cell cycle, the cytoskeleton, apoptosis and coagulation pathways, inflammation, and immune and stress responses.
