Overview of cytoskeleton

-
Highlights:


#What is Cytoskeleton?
## what are the composition of Cytoskeleton?
## Functions ...
Abstract: Today we will discuss about the above mentioned matter. By seeing my post you will know overall about cytoskeleton . 
Before study in molecular level you should have to know an overview of cytoskeleton .
 Lets start our journey ....

# Cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure which provide structural framework for cell ,serve itself as a scaffold that fix cell shape and determine the position of cytoplasm. It is responsible for movement of cell.





Next discuss about major 
Component of cytoskeleton ..


## There are three types of major or principle component of cytoskeleton .

1.Actin Filaments 
2.Microtubules
3.Intermediate Filaments

### Lets try to understand their structure and way of function briefly.

Actin Filaments : It also known as Microfilament .They are produced by one molecule is actin . It is fine thread like structure of protein fibre .size in 3 to 5nm in diameter . Microfilaments are associated with myosin which is,responsible for muscle contraction .
Functions: It also carry out cellular movements, cytokinesis and also gliding.


 Microtubules:  In Eukaryotes' cell microtubules are produced by the dimers of protein,known as Tubulin .It is made of alpha and beta tubulin and another is gama .Alpha and Beta together joined and make a cylindrical structure . Diameter is in 20 to 25 nm .It acts as a scaffold to determine cell shape .Microtubules make spindle fibers for separating chromosomes during mitosis. It present in a geometric way inside flagella ,used for locomotion.
Intermidiate Filaments:  Because of diameter which possess an intermediate size between Actin filament and microtubules ,that is 10 to 13 diameters.
This is produced by keratin family protein. Multiple of that add with each other and make a long fibre,then three fibres start wrapping and produced intermidiate filament. It helps in the anchorage of cell to form a stable tissue. Ex epithelial cells.

Thank you very much to see my article. Make a comment in the comment box.

Mechanism of Vesicles Docking and Fusion

Abstract:  Analysis of Biochemical and Genetics study reveal a molecular mechanism which is selectively cargo molecule transport between donor and target compartments .                                        Different membrane proteins participate in vesicular fusion .         #We will discuss about some membrane proteins which participate in vesicles docking and fusion . Protein involved in vesicle docking 1: SNAREs protein: Complimentary sets of vesicles SNAREs(v-SNARE) and target membrane (t-SNARE) contribute to the selectivity of transport vesicle docking and fusion.   v-SNARE: During the budding of transport vesicles it is packaged together with coat protein from donor membrane and then bind to complementary t-SNARE in target membrane.   t-SNARE: After the fusion t-SNARE Mechanism and v-SNARE make tight co...

Recombinant DNA Technology including Blue white screening and Alpha complementation. What is gene ? It is segment of DNA which express is specific type of protein. What is cloning? The exact genetic copies To produce multiple copies of gene we use gene cloning technology or techniques. There are some methods of gene cloning -- method for molecular cloning using polymerase chain reaction and cell free gene cloning method If we use any host cell to make multiple copies of our gene of interest then this type of methods are called cell based gene cloning method.

Marine Life

MARINE LIFE 95% of our ocean have not been explored yet; it is hard not to let your imagination run wild. But thanks to brave explorers deep sea cameras and awesome archaeologist; we do know about some pretty incredible sea creatures living in our waters today from millions of years ago … Life on earth is supported by the surrounding ecological conditions and the natural resources. Continents and oceans are the two major divisions, comprising of all the life and also the ecosystems throughout the world. About 75 % of the earth’ surface is covered with oceanic waters which has a very rich wealth of marine life. The ocean is a major source of food, energy, and mineral resources. Oceans also control the global climate. If we say that land is dominated by plant biomass, then we have to say that animal biomass dominates the oceanic waters. Water-based living environments are called as aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic Ecosystems are classified into two types as freshwater ecosystems and marine ...
