    • @andrewd1763
      @andrewd1763 9 років тому +6

      Also taking a cell bio course. Assuming dyneins and kinesins are both bound to a membrane. How are the ATP binding site's globular head domains inhibited to allow movement in one direction or the other?

    • @CSissi95
      @CSissi95 9 років тому +21

      Andrew Dominguez we didn't cover the part explicitly explaining why one goes in one direction whereas the other goes the opposite. I'm assuming the shape of the head domain can only bind in one direction to the tubulin dimers which make up the microtubules due to each molecule's dispersion of charges and overall shape. The dimers all assemble in a specific configuration if you look up the structure of microtubules in a picture, so perhaps the motor proteins' head domains bing their front edge to say the alpha-tubulin while the back end of the head domain binds the beta-tubulin or vice-versa? Again, we didn't cover this part so I can only hypothesize.

  • @Shadowmech88

      They look somewhat like pairs of shoes walking along wire/chains.

      @wingsofpurityofficial4031 6 років тому +19

      @@LuisAldamiz Sorry for necroposting, but I thought I would mention that the polarity of microtubules is not electric but instead based on which direction the microtubule is assembled in. The plus end of the microtubule is the direction that it is produced in, and the minus side is the part of the microtubule attached to the centromere (the structure on which microtubule production occurs.) It is kind of difficult to visualize, so here is a video: ua-cam.com/video/Rbbtbt2i8xA/v-deo.html
      As for the basis of John's direction of movement, it is based on the asymmetrical shape of tubulin, the protein that microtubules are made from. The subunits of kinesin (John) will only bind to a tubulin molecule if they have a particular orientation. It is similar to how sticking a 3-pointed plug in an electrical outlet only works if you push it in the correct way. The orientation at which they bind causes kinesin to point towards the + end.

    • @wingsofpurityofficial4031
      @wingsofpurityofficial4031 6 років тому +4

      @@LuisAldamiz The polarity is not accidental. The microtubules actually start being made at distinct structures in the cell called microtubule organizing centers. And it does determine how kinesin moves, but not in a very direct way. Kinesin cannot determine which side of the microtubule is which, but it can determine which direction a single tubulin molecule is pointing. Since all tubulins are oriented the same way in a microtubule, kinesin can indirectly recognize which direction to move in by only binding to tubilin molecules that are pointed in a specific direction.

    Something not mentioned is that motor proteins can generally only move in one direction. Once they get where they’re going, they get torn apart and their pieces recycled. Sorry John!

    • @annamyob
      @annamyob 7 місяців тому

      Oh sad. Portraying motor proteins as animated persons has a bit of a drawback there. I am shifting in my mind to seeing John as a Lego bot, for whom disassembly and reassembly is a natural function! (Edit: but I do still appreciate the fun animation)

    Really good animation. Very enjoyable. I have a question though that wasn't really answered, what's the point of John's "friends"? The ones that bind to alley ways and try to walk in the opposite direction. It seems their only job is to make it hard on poor John. What other uses do they have? They seem absolutely useless other than to slow him down

      +Josh Giesbrecht what does dynein do? Or how does he do that?

    • @joshgiesbrecht
      @joshgiesbrecht 9 років тому +10

      +amina ali I'm limited in this field, but my understanding is dynein is essentially "turned off" while the motor cell goes to its desired location. Once it is there, I believe chemical reactions or instructions "wake up" dynein so that it can continue its journey back to its home. Like I said, I have very limited knowledge in this field. But that is my understanding.

      +Josh Giesbrecht I've just seen this post, so sorry if you've found an answer already! If John walks along the main roads (microtubules) that run lengthwise along the axon from point A to point B inside of the cell, you can think of the myosin as (basically) 'wanting' to walk along the alleys or side streets (actin filaments) to the cell's surface.

There were just too many witnesses that saw him! And there are even historical people who saw Jesus after his crucifixion, so after he was risen.
