34 Microfilaments and microtubules globular cytoskeletal proteins Questions What are the functions of the cytoskeleton? How are microfilaments and microtubules assembled? Why are tubulin-binding drugs useful in the treatment of cancer? The cytoskeleton In eukaryotic cells, the cytoskeleton is a complex and dynamic framework of structural protein filaments that defines the shape of a cell and contributes to changes in cell shape and organelle and cell movement. Attachment sites Cellular cytoskeletons are attached to integral proteins in the plasma membrane and through these make attachments to the extracellular matrix (ECM) or adjacent cells (Ch. 31). Filamentous structures in cytoskeletons Only gold members can continue reading.
