The Cytoskeleton -

The Cytoskeleton

  • Cytoskeleton refers to the network of protein fibres that help in maintaining the shape of the cell and help in the movement of the cell. 
  • There are three types of protein fibres within cytoskeleton:
  1.                  microfilaments,
  2.                  intermediate filaments, and 
  3.                  microtubules

Microtubules

  • These are small hollow tubules. 
  • Their walls are made up of polymerised dimers of a-tubulin and B-tubulin. 
  • They have a diameter of 25 nm. They are the widest component of the cytoskeleton. 
  • They help the cell resist compression, provide a track along which vesicles move through the cell and pull replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell. 
  • Like microfilaments, microtubules can dissolve and reform quickly.
