Kinesin - Dynein Kinesin: Most members of the kinesin family of motor proteins walk along microtubules away from the centrosome. Dynein: The dyneins walk along microtubules toward the centrosome). ©CMBI 2006

The Tubulin Autobahn In the cell itself, microtubules are formed in an area near the nucleus called the "aster". This is also called the Microtubule Organizing Center (MTOC). Microtubules are polar with a plus end (fast growing) and a minus end (slow growing). Usually the minus end is the anchor point in the MTOC. In this figure, the plus end is shown to the left by the numerous tubulin dimers. This is the end that carries the GTP molecules which may be hydrolyzed to GDP. ©CMBI 2006

Information flows through our body in many different ways. Information transfer Information flows through our body in many different ways. One method is to send out messengers (hormones) that can be recognized by other cells or organs. GPCRs and nuclear receptors are examples of receptors for this type of information. ©CMBI 2006

First rule of sequence analysis: If a residue is conserved, it is important. ©CMBI 2006

Second rule of sequence analysis: If a residue is very conserved, it is very important. ©CMBI 2006

Different levels/types of variability

20 Ei = S pi ln(pi) i=1 Sequence Entropy Sequence variability is the number of residues that is present in more than 0.5% of all sequences. ©CMBI 2006

Variability is result of evolution. Entropy - Variability Variability is result of evolution. Entropy is the protein’s break on evolutionary speed. ©CMBI 2006
