| Abstract: | Heavy rough (HR) endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and a dense fraction of light rough (LR) membranes (LR I) of L-929 cells bind H-cytochalasin B extremely poorly in comparison to smooth (S) membranes and a fraction of LR membranes of low density (LR II). The LR and S subfractions of ER are apparently heterogeneous membrane populations with respect to cytochalasin B binding. The separation of proteins in HR and LR subfractions by electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies against actin showed that actin was not present in the former membranes while there were large amounts in the LR subfraction. It is concluded that membranes in the LR II fraction of ER are associated with actin-containing microfilaments of the cytoskeleton, but that HR membranes are not. |
