DNA nanotubes are a nice example of the trajectory from structure17 to function12,13,14, recently progressing towards mimics of cytoskeletons16,18. Our study has outlined DNA-based cytoskeleton mimics and their operation in cell-sized confinement. Such filaments can undergo dynamic assembly and ...

have been classified into a small number of conserved protein families, for example, the almost ubiquitous tubulin and actin superfamilies. To understand what makes filaments special and how the cytoskeletons they form enable cells to perform essential functions, the structure and function of ...
Cellular transport of organelles and vesicles: a function of microtubules Now the above figure (figure 9 in your Powerpoint) shows the movement of organelles and vesicles in two different types of cells along microtubules. Note the magenta arrow which goes from the nucleus toward the plus end of...

, other proteins may also be considered part of the cytoskeleton. Examples includeseptins, which can assemble into filaments and form attachment sites for certain types of proteins, andspectrin, which assembles along the intracellular surface of thecell membraneand helps maintain cell structure....
