Characterization of intestinal microvillar membrane disks: detergent-resistant membrane sheets enriched in associated brush border myosin I (110K-calmodulin).

Abstract: Abstract. The actin bundle within each microvillus of the intestinal brush border (BB) is tethered laterally to the membrane by bridges composed of BB myosin I. Avian BB myosin I, formerly termed l l0K-calmodulin, consists of a heavy chain with an apparent M, of 110 kD and three to four molecules of calmodulin "light chains." Recent studies have shown that this complex shares many properties with myosin including mechanochemical activity. In this report, the isolation and characterization of a membrane fractio… Show more

“…As predicted by the primary structure and as previously shown for membrane fraction derived from intestinal cells, the entire BBMI protein and the proteins truncated in the motor domain were detected in association with membrane fraction derived from hepatoma (37). It is likely that the absence of enrichment for BBMI or the truncated BBMI in the bona fide membrane fraction is due to a soluble pool that could account also for the cytoplasmic diffuse staining observed for these proteins by immunofluorescence.…”

“…Cytochalasin D, which causes disruption of the actin filament network in addition to inhibiting polymerization [Schliwa, 19821, rapidly [Vale et al, 19851, including those of mobile varicosities Edmonds and Koenig, 19871, are one-to-two orders magnitude faster than in vitro actin-based translocation rates [Mooseker et al, 1989;Collins et al, 19901. Thus, the rate of movement during retraction is also consistent with an actomyosin driven process.…”

“…myosin 2) to dimerize. Like other myosins, BBM1 has actin-stimulated ATPase activity and, in the presence of ATP and calcium, generates movement along actin filaments (7,8). BBM1 is capable of binding both to the actin core and to the membrane of the microvillus (7, 9 -11).…”

“…BBM1 is capable of binding both to the actin core and to the membrane of the microvillus (7, 9 -11). Binding to the membrane alters its activity by as yet uncertain mechanisms (7,12). Binding to the membrane appears to involve the C-terminal portion of the molecule and requires acidic phospholipids (13).…”
