Redistribution of myosin accompanying capping of surface Ig
نویسندگان
چکیده
The capping of surface Ig on B cells occurs with a striking redistribution of cytoplasmic myosin. Our results suggest a close association between surface Ig and myosin which could be the basis for Ig redistribution and stimulated motility.

Two distinct mechanisms for redistribution of lymphocyte surface macromolecules. II. Contrasting effects of local anesthetics and a calcium ionophore
In the previous study, lymphocyte surface molecules were separated into two subsets depending on whether capping was associated was associated with redistribution of cytoplasmic myosin. In the present study, the effects of the local anesthetic chlorpromazine and of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 were compared. Both drugs affected the surface redistribution of immunoglobulin (Ig), Fc receptors, and t...
متن کاملTwo distinct mechanisms for redistribution of lymphocyte surface macromolecules. I. Relationship to cytoplasmic myosin
A detailed kinetic analysis of the distribution of cytoplasmic myosin during the capping of various lymphocytic surface molecules revealed two distinct capping mechanisms. (a) Some cell surface molecules, including immunoglobulin, Fc receptor, and thymus leukemia antigen, all cap spontaneously in a small fraction of lymphocytes during locomotion. Cytoplasmic myosin becomes concentrated in the c...

Most macromolecules are assumed to be distributed randomly on the cell surface, diffusing freely within the plane of the plasma membrane. However, upon interaction with ligands, surface proteins undergo an orderly redistribution and segregation from other macromolecules the phenomenon of capping (1). Capping of various molecules shares certain requirements: a cross-linking ligand producing the ...
متن کاملAnti-immunoglobulin-induced histamine secretion by rat peritoneal mast cells studied by immunoferritin electron microscopy
We have used ferritin-conjugated divalent and monovalent anti-Ig antibodies to study simultaneously, histamine secretion and the ultrastructural distribution and redistribution of Ig receptors on rat peritoneal mast cells. We conclude that (a) divalent anti-Ig is required for both receptor redistribution and for calcium-dependent degranulation and histamine release, (b) divalent anti-Ig induce...
متن کاملLigand-induced Movement of Lymphocyte Surface Macromolecules
Microscopic examination of spleen lymphocytes discloses a small number moving at random at a given time. The majority of lymphocytes with this spontaneous movement are thymic derived. Addition of anti-Ig antibodies stimulates random movement of B lymphocytes. This movement depends upon a bivalent antibody and a metabolically active cell. The movement is inhibited by DFP, suggesting the involvem...
