Intracellular distributions of mechanochemical proteins in cultured fibroblasts.

Abstract:

:We have used methods that have allowed simultaneous fluorescent staining of intracellular actin together with either myosin, filamin, or tubulin in normal rat kidney fibroblasts in monolayer culture. In the main portions of the cell body, the actin, myosin, and filamin are all present in two structures: in one, the three proteins are present in the same fiber bundles (stress fibers); in the other, there is a diffuse distribution of the three proteins. On portions of the cell periphery however-in the basal regions of microspikes, in ruffles, and in regions of cell-cell contact-actin and filamin are present, but myosin is severely depleted or absent. Microtubules are present in the cell body in a distribution independent of the stress fibers and are mostly absent from the cell periphery. Microspikes and ruffles are highly dynamic structures on the cell surface, and regions of cell-cell contact generally result from the association of ruffles on the two contacting cells. Therefore, the presence of filamin and actin but not myosin in these specialized regions on the cell surface, together with the recent demonstration [Wang, K. & Singer, S. J. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74, 2021-2025)] that pure filamin interacts with individual F-actin filaments in solution to form fiber bundles and sheet-like structures, suggest that in vivo filamin-actin interactions play an important role in the control of actin filament structure, in cell motility, and in the stabilization of cell-cell contacts.
