Gelsolin-actin interaction and actin polymerization in human neutrophils
The fraction of polymerized actin in human blood neutrophils increases after exposure to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fmlp), is maximal 10 s after peptide addition, and decreases after 300 s. Most of the gelsolin (85 +/- 11%) in resting ficoll-hypaque (FH)-purified neutrophils is in an EGTA resistant, 1:1 gelsolin-actin complex, and, within 5 s after 10(-7) M fmlp activation, the amou...
متن کاملActin assembly factors regulate the gelation kinetics and architecture of F-actin networks.
Dynamic regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is required for diverse cellular processes. Proteins regulating the assembly kinetics of the cytoskeletal biopolymer F-actin are known to impact the architecture of actin cytoskeletal networks in vivo, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that changes to actin assembly kinetics with physiologically relevant prot...
متن کاملInteraction of actin filaments with microtubules
Several cytological observations support the idea that actin filaments interact with microtubules, but the strongest evidence comes from biochemical experiments. The cytological observations include the colocalization of microtubules and actin in the mitotic spindle of dividing cells by electron microscopy (1-3) and light microscopy with fluorescent probes for actin (4-6) . There is, however, d...
متن کاملCytochalasin B inhibits actin-related gelation of HeLa cell extracts
When the 100,000 g supernatant fraction (extract) of HeLa cells lysed in a buffer containing sucrose, ATP, DTE, EGTA, imidazole, and Triton X-100 is incubated at 25 degrees C, it gels, and actin and a HMWP are progressively enriched in the extract and in gel isolated from extract. CB (greater than or equal to 0.25 muM) inhibits gelation and specifically lowers the concentrations of actin and th...
متن کاملActin polymerization and interaction with other proteins in temperature- induced gelation of sea urchin egg extracts
The gel which forms on warming the extracts of the cytoplasmic proteins of sea urchin eggs has been separated into two fractions, one containing F-actin and the other containing two proteins of 58,000 and 22,000 mol wt. When combined in 0.1 M KCl, even at 0 degrees C, these components will form gel material identical to that formed by warming extracts. This gel is a network of laterally aggrega...
