Cytoplasmic Filaments of Amoeba Proteus
The role of filaments in consistency changes and movement in a motile cytoplasmic extract of Amoeba proteus was investigated by correlating light and electron microscopic observations with viscosity measurements. The extract is prepared by the method of Thompson and Wolpert (1963). At 0 degrees C, this extract is nonmotile and similar in structure to ameba cytoplasm, consisting of groundplasm, ...
متن کاملFilaments of Amoeba Proteus
Amoeba proteus has two types of cytoplasmic filaments that are thought to be important in cell motility, cytoplasmic streaming, and changes in cytoplasmic consistency : thin, 50-70 A wide filaments, and short, thick, 160 A wide rods (Pollard and Ito, 1970) . The thin filaments resemble the actin filaments of muscle (Hanson and Lowy, 1963), Acanthamoeba (Weihing and Korn, 1969 ; Pollard et al .,...
متن کاملCytoplasmic filaments and cellular wound healing in amoeba proteus
The flexibility and self-healing properties of animal cell surface membranes are well known. These properties have been best exploited in various micrurgical studies on living cells (2, 3), especially in amoebae (7, 20). During nuclear transplantation in amoebae, the hole in the membrane through which a nucleus passes can have a diameter of 20-30 mum, and yet such holes are quickly sealed, alth...

متن کاملCytoplasmic Dna Synthesis in Amoeba Proteus
The application of electron microscope autoradiography to Amoeba proteus cells labeled with tritiated thymidine has permitted the identification of morphologically distinct particles in the cytoplasm as the sites of incorporated DNA precursor. The particles correspond to those previously described from light microscope studies, with respect to both H(3)Tdr incorporation and distribution in cent...
