The cytoskeleton is located in the cytoplasm.
Spans cytoplasm and interconnects the nucleus in the extracellular matrix.**
•Supports cell and provides shape•Aids movement of material in and out of cell.•Supports the plasma membrane•Divides the cell in mitosis •Anchors organelles
•Microfilament (of actin)**
•Microtubules (of tubulin)**
•Intermediate Filament System**
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Its caused by a defective
gene for dystrophin**
1. 1. What are all of the fibers of the cytoskeleton made of?
2. What is the function of the many actin-binding proteins found in the cell?3. You have a long assembly of a single globular protein which is several hundred nm long and 7 nm wide. What do you have?
