Rigor crossbridges are double-headed in fast muscle from crayfish
The structure of rigor crossbridges was examined by comparing rigor crossbridges in fast muscle fibers from glycerol-extracted abdominal flexor muscle of crayfish with those in "natively decorated" thin filaments from the same muscle. Natively decorated thin filaments were obtained by dissociating the backbone of the myosin filaments of rigor myofibrils in 0.6 M KCl. Intact fibers were freeze-f...
متن کاملCytoskeletal reorganization of human platelets after stimulation revealed by the quick-freeze deep-etch technique
We studied the cytoskeletal reorganization of saponized human platelets after stimulation by using the quick-freeze deep-etch technique, and examined the localization of myosin in thrombin-treated platelets by immunocytochemistry at the electron microscopic level. In unstimulated saponized platelets we observed cross-bridges between: adjoining microtubules, adjoining actin filaments, microtubul...
متن کاملMechanism of brush border contractility studied by the quick-freeze, deep-etch method
We have analyzed terminal web contraction in sheets of glycerinated chicken small intestine epithelium and in isolated intestinal brush borders using a quick-freeze, deep-etch, rotary shadow replication technique. In the presence of Mg-ATP at 37 degrees C, the terminal web region of each cell in the glycerinated sheet and of each isolated brush border became severely constricted at the level of...
متن کاملQuick-freeze, deep-etch visualization of the cytoskeleton beneath surface differentiations of intestinal epithelial cells
The cytoskeleton that supports microvilli in intestinal epithelial cells was visualized by the quick-freeze, deep-etch, rotary-replication technique (Heuser and Salpeter. 1979. J. Cell Biol. 82: 150). Before quick freezing, cells were exposed to detergents or broken open physically to clear away the granular material in their cytoplasm that would otherwise obscure the view. After such extractio...
متن کاملBridgelike interconnections between thick filaments in stretched skeletal muscle fibers observed by the freeze-fracture method
The ultrastructure of frog semitendinosus muscle was explored using the freeze-fracture, deep-etch, rotary-shadowing technique. Mechanically skinned fibers were stretched to decrease or eliminate the overlap of thick and thin filaments before rapid freezing with liquid propane. In relaxed, contracting, and rigor fibers, a significant number of bridgelike interconnections, distinct from those ob...
