Endocytosis
What is dynein?
motor protein
What protein powers both the movement of cilia and vesicles within a cell?

Cilia and flagella move due to energy provided by the enzymatic breakdown of ATP by what?
dynein
What two molecular motors carry materials in opposite directions along microtubules?

Endocytosis
What is dynein?
motor protein
How is the structure of kinesin related to its function?
The structure of kinesin is related to its function as a motor protein that transports cargo along microtubules in cells. Kinesin has two heads, or motor domains, that can bind to and hydrolyze ATP. These heads are connected by a stalk and a coiled-coil tail domain, which allows for movement along the microtubule. The structure of kinesin allows it to walk along the microtubule, carrying cargo and using the energy from ATP hydrolysis to power its movement.

What protein powers both the movement of cilia and vesicles within a cell?
Dynein
Motor proteins that move vesicles along a microtubule toward the plus end are called?
kinesin
Cilia and flagella move due to energy provided by the enzymatic breakdown of ATP by what?
dynein
What are the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins?
Microtubules
What is Sliding microtubule hypothesis?
The sliding microtubule hypothesis explains how cargo (such as amino acids and other small molecules) travel down the minus end of the microtubules (towards the nucleus) by a pair of dynein arms. These dynein arms periodically project out from the peripheral microtubule doublet.
