How Does the Cytoskeleton Interact with Other Cellular Structures?
The cytoskeleton interacts with various cellular organelles to maintain cell structure and function. For example, actin filaments are linked to the cell membrane through proteins like spectrin, providing structural support and facilitating cell signaling. Microtubules interact with the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus to assist in the transport of proteins and lipids. These interactions are crucial for maintaining cellular organization and facilitating communication between different cellular compartments.
