Molecular cytochemistry: incorporation of fluorescently labeled actin into living cells.
Actin labeled with 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein has been incorporated into the functional pool of actin in Chaos carolinensis and Physarum polycephalum by direct microinjection. The functional activity of the labeled actin has been analyzed at three levels of organization as: (a) with the purified actin, (b) in motile extracts of cells, and (c) in living motile cells. The labeled actin exhibited ...
متن کاملProbing the mechanism of incorporation of fluorescently labeled actin into stress fibers
The mechanism of actin incorporation into and association with stress fibers of 3T3 and WI38 fibroblasts was examined by fluorescent analog cytochemistry, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), image analysis, and immunoelectron microscopy. Microinjected, fluorescein-labeled actin (AF-actin) became associated with stress fibers as early as 5 min post-injection. There was no detectab...
متن کاملMyofibrillogenesis in living cells microinjected with fluorescently labeled alpha-actinin
Fluorescently labeled alpha-actinin, isolated from chicken gizzards, breast muscle, or calf brains, was microinjected into cultured embryonic myotubes and cardiac myocytes where it was incorporated into the Z-bands of myofibrils. The localization in injected, living cells was confirmed by reacting permeabilized myotubes and cardiac myocytes with fluorescent alpha-actinin. Both living and permea...
متن کاملDistribution of fluorescently labeled actin in living sea urchin eggs during early development
Rabbit skeletal muscle actin was labeled with 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein (5-IAF) and purified by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and polymerization-depolymerization. The resultant fluorescent conjugates retained full biochemical activities. The labeled actin was incorporated into unfertilized eggs of Lytechinus pictus by direct microinjection and the distribution of fluorescence wa...
متن کاملContractile basis of ameboid movement. VII. The distribution of fluorescently labeled actin in living amebas
The technique of molecular cytochemistry has been used to follow the distribution of fluorescently labeled actin in living Chaos carolinensis and Amoeba proteus during ameboid movement and various cellular processes. The distribution of 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein-labeled actin was compared with that of Lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl chloride-labeled ovalbumin microinjected into the same cell an...
