The brush border of intestinal epithelial cells consists of a tightly packed array of microvilli, each of which contains a core of actin filaments. It has been postulated that microvillar movements are mediated by myosin interactions in the terminal web with the basal ends of these actin cores (Mooseker, M.S. 1976. J. Cell. Biol. 71:417-433). We report here that two predictions of this model are correct: (a) The brush border contains myosin, and (b) myosin is located in the terminal web. Myosin is isolated in 70 percent purity by solubilization of Triton-treated brush borders in 0.6 M KI, and separation of the components by gel filtration. Most of the remaining contaminants can be removed by precipitation of the myosin at low ionic strength. This yield is approximately 1 mg of myosin/30 mg of solubilized brush border protein. The molecule consists of three subunits with molecular weights of 200,000, 19,000, and 17,000 daltons in a 1:1:1 M ratio. At low ionic strength, the myosin forms small, bipolar filaments with dimensions of 300 X 11nm, that are similar to filaments seen previously in the terminal web of isolated brush borders. Like that of other vertebrate, nonmuscle myosins, the ATPase activity of isolated brush border myosin in 0.6 M KCI is highest with EDTA (1 μmol P(i)/mg-min; 37 degrees C), intermediate with Ca++ (0.4 μmol P(i)/mg-min), and low with Mg++ (0.01 μmol P(i)/mg-min). Actin does not stimulate the Mg-ATPase activity of the isolated enzyme. Antibodies against the rod fragment of human platelet myosin cross-react by immunodiffusion with brush border myosin. Staining of isolated mouse or chicken brush borders with rhodamine-antimyosin demonstrates that myosin is localized exclusively in the terminal web. 相似文献

Endocytic traffic in polarized epithelial cells: role of the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton 总被引:10,自引:3,他引:7
Apodaca G 《Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark)》2001,2(3):149-159
The cytoskeleton is required for multiple cellular events including endocytosis and the transfer of cargo within the endocytic system. Polarized epithelial cells are capable of endocytosis at either of their distinct apical or basolateral plasma membrane domains. Actin plays a role in internalization at both cell surfaces. Microtubules and actin are required for efficient transcytosis and delivery of proteins to late endosomes and lysosomes. Microtubules are also important in apical recycling pathways and, in some polarized cell types, basolateral recycling requires actin. The microtubule motor proteins dynein and kinesin and the class I unconventional myosin motors play a role in many of these trafficking steps. This review examines the endocytic pathways of polarized epithelial cells and focuses on the emerging roles of the actin cytoskeleton in these processes. 相似文献

The complexity of membrane traffic in polarized epithelial cells between the Golgi complex and either the apical or basal-lateral membrane domain, and between different membrane domains (transcytosis) requires that vesicles leaving one membrane compartment efficiently and rapidly reach their (correct) destination. There is increasing evidence that microtubules, actin microfilaments and the membrane-cytoskeleton are involved in several aspects of vesicle transport and in the regulation of protein distributions in polarized epithelial cells. These possible functions are discussed in the context of the development and maintenance of cell polarity. 相似文献

Defective CFTR apical endocytosis and enterocyte brush border in myosin VI-deficient mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In polarized epithelial cells such as those that line the inner ear, kidney and gut, myosin VI has been localized to the intermicrovillar domains where it is proposed to regulate clathrin-dependent endocytosis; however, a direct role for myosin VI in apical endocytosis has not been shown. We examined the apical membrane distribution and endocytosis of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in myosin VI-deficient Snell's Waltzer Myo6((sv/sv)) mice. Confocal microscopy and cell-surface biotinylation confirmed that surface levels of CFTR in the intestine of Myo6((sv/sv)) mice were markedly higher, and CFTR internalization from the apical plasma membrane was reduced compared with heterozygous controls. Consistent with a defect in CFTR endocytosis and accumulation at the cell surface, exaggerated CFTR-mediated fluid secretion was observed in Myo6((sv/sv)) mice following treatment of isolated jejunum with the cyclic GMP-activated heat stable enterotoxin. These data establish that myosin VI modulates apical endocytosis and may be an important physiological modulator of CFTR function and CFTR-associated secretory diarrhea in the gut. 相似文献

The kidney epithelial cell line, LLC-PK1-CL4 (CL4), forms a well ordered brush border (BB) on its apical surface. CL4 cells were used to examine the dynamics of MYO1A (M1A; formerly BB myosin I) within the BB using GFP-tagged MIA (GFP-M1A), MIA motor domain (GFP-MDIQ), and tail domain (GFP-Tail). GFP-beta-actin (GFP-Actin) was used to assess actin dynamics within the BB. GFP-M1A, GFP-Tail, but not GFP-MDIQ localized to the BB, indicating that the tail is sufficient for apical targeting of M1A. GFP-Actin targeted to all the actin domains of the cell including the BB. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analysis revealed that GFP-M1A and GFP-Tail turnover in the BB is rapid, approximately 80% complete in <1 min. As expected for an actin-based motor, ATP depletion resulted in significant inhibition of GFP-M1A turnover yet had little effect on GFP-Tail exchange. Rapid turnover of GFP-M1A and GFP-Tail was not due to actin turnover as GFP-Actin turnover in the BB was much slower. These results indicate that the BB population of M1A turns over rapidly, while its head and tail domains interact transiently with the core actin and plasma membrane, respectively. This rapidly exchanging pool of M1A envelops an actin core bundle that, by comparison, is static in structure. 相似文献

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at the apical surface of polarized intestinal epithelial cells was previously shown to be transported from the apical to the basolateral pole of the epithelium (Beatty, W.L., and P.J. Sansonetti. 1997. Infect. Immun. 65:4395-4404). The present study was designed to elucidate the transcytotic pathway of LPS and to characterize the endocytic compartments involved in this process. Confocal and electron microscopic analyses revealed that LPS internalized at the apical surface became rapidly distributed within endosomal compartments accessible to basolaterally internalized transferrin. This compartment largely excluded fluid-phase markers added at either pole. Access to the basolateral side of the epithelium subsequent to trafficking to basolateral endosomes occurred via exocytosis into the paracellular space beneath the intercellular tight junctions. LPS appeared to exploit other endocytic routes with much of the internalized LPS recycled to the original apical membrane. In addition, analysis of LPS in association with markers of the endocytic network revealed that some LPS was sent to late endosomal and lysosomal compartments. 相似文献

In multicellular epithelial tissues, the orientation of polarity of each cell must be coordinated. Previously, we reported that for Madin-Darby canine kidney cells in three-dimensional collagen gel culture, blockade of beta1-integrin by the AIIB2 antibody or expression of dominant-negative Rac1N17 led to an inversion of polarity, such that the apical surfaces of the cells were misorientated towards the extracellular matrix. Here, we show that this process results from the activation of RhoA. Knockdown of RhoA by short hairpin RNA reverses the inverted orientation of polarity, resulting in normal cysts. Inhibition of RhoA downstream effectors, Rho kinase (ROCK I) and myosin II, has similar effects. We conclude that the RhoA-ROCK I-myosin II pathway controls the inversion of orientation of epithelial polarity caused by AIIB2 or Rac1N17. These results might be relevant to the hyperactivation of RhoA and disruption of normal polarity frequently observed in human epithelial cancers. 相似文献

RhoB-dependent modulation of postendocytic traffic in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The Rho family of GTPases is implicated in the control of endocytic and biosynthetic traffic of many cell types; however, the cellular distribution of RhoB remains controversial and its function is not well understood. Using confocal microscopy, we found that endogenous RhoB and green fluorescent protein-tagged wild-type RhoB were localized to early endosomes, and to a much lesser extent to recycling endosomes, late endosomes or Golgi complex of fixed or live polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. Consistent with RhoB localization to early endosomes, we observed that expression of dominant-negative RhoBN19 or dominant-active RhoBV14 altered postendocytic traffic of ligand-receptor complexes that undergo recycling, degradation or transcytosis. In vitro assays established that RhoB modulated the basolateral-to-apical transcytotic pathway by regulating cargo exit from basolateral early endosomes. Our results indicate that RhoB is localized, in part, to early endosomes where it regulates receptor egress through the early endocytic system. 相似文献

We have used an antisense RNA strategy to investigate the role of the actin-associated protein, villin, in the brush-border morphogenesis of human intestinal CaCO2 cells. Stable expression of a cDNA encoding antisense villin RNA resulted in the permanent down-regulation of the endogenous villin message and dramatically affected brush-border assembly. Ultrastructural and immunolocalization studies revealed that epithelial cell polarity was largely maintained. However, in contrast to brush-border markers such as dipeptidyl-peptidase IV, the apical localization of sucrase-isomaltase was specifically impaired. Retransfection of the villin antisense-expressing cell line with a cDNA encoding a partial sense villin RNA restored both brush-border assembly and sucrase-isomaltase apical expression. The suggestion that brush-border morphogenesis may be important for the trafficking of certain proteins is discussed. 相似文献

Terminal webs prepared from mouse intestinal epithelial cells were examined by the quick-freeze, deep-etch, and rotary-replication method. The microvilli of these cells contain actin filaments that extend into the terminal web in compact bundles. Within the terminal web these bundles remain compact; few filaments are separated from the bundles and fewer still bend towards the lateral margins of the cell. Decoration with subfragment 1 (S1) of myosin confirmed that relatively few actin filaments travel horizontally in the web. Instead, between actin bundles there are complicated networks of the fibrils. Here we present two lines of evidence which suggest that myosin is one of the major cross-linkers in the terminal web. First, when brush borders are exposed to 1 mM ATP in 0.3 M KCl, they lose their normal ability to bind antimyosin antibodies as judged by immunofluorescence, and they lose the thin fibrils normally found in deep-etch replicas. Correspondingly, myosin is released into the supernatant as judged by SDS gel electrophoresis. Second, electron microscope immunocytochemistry with antimyosin antibodies followed by ferritin- conjugated second antibodies leads to ferritin deposition mainly on the fibrils at the basal part of rootlets. Deep-etching also reveals that the actin filament bundles are connected to intermediate filaments by another population of cross-linkers that are not extracted by ATP in 0.3 M KCl. From these results we conclude that myosin in the intestinal cell may not only be involved in a short range sliding-filament type of motility, but may also play a purely structural role as a long range cross-linker between microvillar rootlets. 相似文献

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 110K-calmodulin, consists of a heavy chain with an apparent Mr 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 fraction enriched in bound BB myosin I is described. This membrane fraction, termed microvillar membrane disks, was purified from ATP extracts of nonionic detergent-treated microvilli prepared from avian intestinal BBs. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that these membranes are flat, disk-shaped sheets with protrusions which are identical in morphology to purified BB myosin I. The disks exhibit actin-activated Mg-ATPase activity and bind and cross-link actin filaments in an ATP-dependent fashion. The mechanochemical activity of the membrane disks was assessed using the Nitella bead movement assay (Sheetz, M. P., and J. A. Spudich. 1983. Nature [Lond.]. 303:31-35). These preparations were shown to be free of significant contamination by conventional BB myosin. Latex beads coated with microvillar membrane disks move in a myosin-like fashion along Nitella actin cables at rates of 12-60 nm/s (average rate of 33 nm/s); unlike purified BB myosin I, the movement of membrane disk-coated beads was most reproducibly observed in buffers containing low Ca2+. 相似文献

The mammalian genome contains 20-30 genes encoding a family of actins. To date, however, only six proteins (four muscle and two nonmuscle isoforms) encoded by this multigene complex have been identified. We have isolated two actins from the brush border of rat intestinal epithelial cells that have isoelectric points and N-terminal peptides characteristic of the cytoplasmic beta- and gamma-actins. However, using a panel of actin-specific monoclonal antibodies, we show that these actins contain a set of epitopes that distinguishes them from any of the known cytoplasmic or muscle isoforms. These unique actins share features of both the nonmuscle and muscle isoforms, suggesting that they represent an intermediate in the evolution of the specialized muscle actins. 相似文献

Distribution of actin and myosin in muscle and non-muscle cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Summary Specific anti-actin and anti-myosin antibodies were shown to react in single and double immunofluorescence sandwich tests with identical sites in non-muscle cells in frozen sections of tissues and in cultured cells. In tissues, both antibodies reacted with liver cell membranes, parts of renal glomeruli, brush borders and peritubular fibrils of renal tubules, brain synaptic junctions, and membranes of lymphoid cells in thymic medulla, lymph nodes and spleen. Both antibodies reacted strongly with long parallel cytoplasmic fibrils in cultured fibroblasts, and with disrupted fibrils in cytochalasin-B treated cells. In neuroblastoma cells both antibodies gave prominent staining of growth cones and microspikes. The observation that the distribution of myosin parallels that of actin in non-muscle cells argues strongly in favour of a functional interaction between the two molecules in the generation of contractile activity in nonmuscle cells.The authors thank Dr. M.

Polarized epithelial cells secrete proteins at either the apical or basolateral cell surface. A number of non-epithelial secretory
proteins also exhibit polarized secretion when they are expressed in polarized epithelial cells but it is difficult to predict
where foreign proteins will be secreted in epithelial cells. The question is of interest since secretory epithelia are considered
as target tissues for gene therapy protocols that aim to express therapeutic secretory proteins. In the parathyroid gland,
parathyroid hormone is processed by furin and co-stored with chromogranin A in secretory granules. To test the secretion of
these proteins in epithelial cells, they were expressed in MDCK cells. Chromogranin A and a secreted form of furin were secreted
apically while parathyroid hormone was secreted 60% basolaterally. However, in the presence of chromogranin A, the secretion
of parathyroid hormone was 65% apical, suggesting that chromogranin can act as a “sorting escort” (sorting chaperone) for
parathyroid hormone. Conversely, apically secreted furin did not affect the sorting of parathyroid hormone. The apical secretion
of chromogranin A was dependent on cholesterol, suggesting that this protein uses an established cellular sorting mechanism
for apical secretion. However, this sorting does not involve the N-terminal membrane-binding domain of chromogranin A. These
results suggest that foreign secretory proteins can be used as “sorting escorts” to direct secretory proteins to the apical
secretory pathway without altering the primary structure of the secreted protein. Such a system may be of use in the targeted
expression of secretory proteins from epithelial cells.

The effect of monensin on endocytosis, transcytosis, recycling and transport to the Golgi apparatus in filter-grown Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated using 125I-labeled ricin as a marker for membrane transport, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a marker for fluid phase transport. Monensin (10 microM) stimulated transcytosis of both markers about 3-fold in the basolateral to apical direction. Transcytosis of HRP in the opposite direction, apical to basolateral, was reduced to approximately 50% of the control by monensin, whereas that of ricin was slightly increased. Recycling of markers endocytosed from the apical surface was reduced in the presence of monensin and there was an increased accumulation of both ricin and HRP in the cells. Transport of ricin to the Golgi apparatus increased to the same extent as the increase in intracellular accumulation. No change in recycling or accumulation was observed with monensin when the markers were added basolaterally, but transport of ricin to the Golgi apparatus increased almost 3-fold. Our results indicate that basolateral to apical transcytosis is increased in the absence of low endosomal pH, and they suggest that apical to basolateral transcytosis of a membrane-bound marker (ricin) is affected by monensin differently from that of a fluid phase marker (HRP). 相似文献

The contribution of brush border cytoskeletal proteins (actin, villin, fimbrin, and brush border myosin-1) to organization of the cytoskeletal network underlying apical plications of oxynticopeptic cells was examined by immunohistochemical techniques in frozen sections of gastric mucosa from the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana. Apical localization of F-actin with phalloidin in oxynticopeptic cells inhibited with cimetidine revealed small, punctate domains within the apical cytoplasm that were consistent with the presence of short microvilli revealed by electron microscopy. Localization of F-actin in cells stimulated with forskolin was limited to a wide continuous band of cytoplasm corresponding to the location of numerous long surface folds. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide did not prevent acid secretion or formation of actin filaments within surface folds in stimulated oxynticopeptic cells, suggesting that the formation of filaments does not require actin synthesis. Staining of gastric mucosae with fluorescent DNase-1 demonstrated that oxynticopeptic cells possess an unusually large pool of non-filamentous actin. Taken together, these results suggest that actin-filament formation in stimulated cells occurs by polymerization of an existing pool of non-filamentous actin. Localization of antibodies specific for villin and fimbrin revealed that these proteins were present within intestinal absorptive cells and gastric surface and neck cells but were not present within inhibited or stimulated oxynticopeptic cells. Brush border myosin-1, present in intestinal absorptive cells, was not present in gastric epithelium. Thus, we propose that actin-containing projections in oxynticopeptic cells are not organized like intestinal microvilli and that filament formation occurs after stimulation by modulating intracellular pools of filamentous and non-filamentous actin. 相似文献
