Cell Biology 7S.2

?
First multicellular genome to be sequenced
Caenothabditis elegans
1 of 14
Drosophila OTD are similar to
human OTX1 and OTX2 genes
2 of 14
spacial patterning
cells become specialised depending on their positions in the embryo. extracellular signals can induce cells to change
3 of 14
combinational signalling and cell memory
multiple signals concurring on one cell give rise to different cells. Cell memory will respond to a stimulus based on a certain memory
4 of 14
slight inital differences may be amplified by
positive feedback
5 of 14
Asymmetric division
sister cells differ
6 of 14
Symmetric division
only become different due to after birth influences
7 of 14
What are the 4 types of tissue?
Connective, epithelial, muscle and nervous
8 of 14
What 3 families does the cytoskeleton depend on?
Actin filaments, microtubules and intemediate filaments
9 of 14
cell-cell junctions
one end can bind the transmembrane sdhesion protein on another cell and another one can bind to the intracellular cytoskeleton
10 of 14
cadherins
physically associate across cell junctions to form a molecular velcro
11 of 14
Adherens junctions
cadherins link adherens junctions with the actin cytoskeleton
12 of 14
Tight junctions
maintain permemibility barriers across cells
13 of 14
Gap junctions
allow small solutes to travel between cells . High cytosolic Ca2+ signals cell damage and closes gap junctions
