    Abstract: The actin bundle within each microvillus of the intestinal brush border is tethered laterally to the membrane by spirally arranged bridges. These bridges are thought to be composed of a protein complex consisting of a 110-kD subunit and multiple molecules of bound calmodulin (CM). Recent studies indicate that this complex, termed 110K-CM, is myosin-like with respect to its actin binding and ATPase properties. In this study, possible structural similarity between the 110-kD subunit and myosin was examined using two sets of mAbs; one was generated against Acanthamoeba myosin II and the other against the 110-kD subunit of avian 110K-CM. The myosin II mAbs had been shown previously to be cross-reactive with skeletal muscle myosin, with the epitope(s) localized to the 50-kD tryptic fragment of the subfragment-1 (S1) domain. The 110K mAbs (CX 1-5) reacted with the 110-kD subunit as well as with the heavy chain of skeletal but not with that of smooth or brush border myosin. All five of these 110K mAbs reacted with the 25-kD, NH2-terminal tryptic fragment of chicken skeletal S1, which contains the ATP-binding site of myosin. Similar tryptic digestion of 110K-CM revealed that these five mAbs all reacted with a 36-kD fragment of 110K (as well as larger 90- and 54-kD fragments) which by photoaffinity labeling was shown to contain the ATP-binding site(s) of the 110K subunit. CM binding to these same tryptic digests of 110K-CM revealed that only the 90-kD fragment retained both ATP- and CM-binding domains. CM binding was observed to several tryptic fragments of 60, 40, 29, and 18 kD, none of which contain the myosin head epitopes. These results suggest structural similarity between the 110K and myosin S1, including those domains involved in ATP- and actin binding, and provide additional evidence that 110K-CM is a myosin. These studies also support the results of Coluccio and Bretscher (1988. J. Cell Biol. 106:367-373) that the calmodulin-binding site(s) and the myosin head region of the 110-kD subunit lie in discrete functional domains of the molecule.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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 cytoplasm underlying these spontaneous caps. Exposure to specific antibodies causes all three of these surface molecules to cap rapidly with a concomitant redistribution of cytoplasmic myosin to the area of the cap. These antibodies also stimulate cell locomotion. (b) Other lymphocyte surface molecules, including H2 and Thy.1, do not cap spontaneously. Moreover, exposure to antibodies to these molecules causes them to cap slowly without a redistribution of cytoplasmic myosin or stimulation of cell locomotion. Exposure to concanavalin A gives a response intermediate between these two extremes. We believe that the first type of capping is active and may involve a direct link between the surface molecules and the cytoplasmic contractile apparatus. The second type of capping appears to result simply from aggregation of cross-linked molecules in the plane of the membrane.

    Abstract: Ultra-pure short ragweed pollen allergen Ra5 (5,000 mol wt) was used to investigate the relationship between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type and IgE and IgG antibody (Ab) responses to Ra5 in two groups of Caucasian subjects, totaling 447 people. Using highly sensitive radioimmunoassay procedures to measure serum IgE and IgG Ab, qualitative responses to Ra5 in both groups were found to be strongly associated with HLA-Dw2 (P less than 0.0001). For example, 95% of 38 people with IgE Ab vs. 22% of 139 ragweed-allergic persons having no detectable IgE Ab to Ra5 were Dw2+. Quantitative log [IgE Ab] and log[IgG Ab] responses to Ra5 were highly correlated with Dw2 (P = 10(-5) to 10(-14)) in four separate multiple regression analyses, examining the relationship between HLA type (and other variables) and Ab levels in the two study groups. Further studies showed that the primary association of Ra5 response was with Dw2 rather than DR2 and that various combinations of A3, B7, and Dw2 were less strongly associated than Dw2 alone.

    Abstract: 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 the TL antigen--molecules that appear to cap by association with microfilaments--but had no effect on the Thy.1 (theta) and H2 antigens--molecules that cap slowly, apparently unlinked to microfilament function. The capping of Ig, Fc receptor, and TL was inhibited while that of H2 and theta was not. Both drugs reversed the Ig Fc receptor, and TL caps but not the H2 and theta caps. In the former group, the reversal of caps was accompanied by a parallel reversal of the myosin segregated to the cap area. The appearance of myosin after drug treatment varied: chlorpromazine resulted in a diffuse pattern similar to that of normal lymphocytes, whereas A23187 produced an array of aggregates and coarse filaments. The results are compatible with the view that two mechanisms for capping exist in the lymphocyte. The Ca2+ ionophore may affect capping of microfilament-dependent caps by producing a systemic activation of contractile proteins while chlorpromazine may act by disrupting a Ca2+-dependent link between surface complexes and the contractile proteins.

    Abstract: Changes in structure, cellularity, hematopoietic progenitor cell and macrophage content, and osteoclast activity were investigated in the hematopoietic organs of the colony-stimulating factor 1(CSF-1)-less osteopetrotic (op/op) mouse. The data indicated that op/op mice undergo an age-related hematopoietic recovery and resolution of osteopetrosis, suggesting that the hematopoietic system has the capacity to use alternative mechanisms to compensate for the absence of an important multifunctional growth factor, CSF-1. In young animals, op/op femurs were heavily infiltrated with bone, and marrow cellularity was significantly reduced. After 6 wk of age, there was an increase in the marrow space available for hematopoiesis. The femoral cavity of op/op mice progressively enlarged, and by 22 wk of age its appearance and marrow cellularity was comparable to that of controls. The percentage of op/op mononuclear phagocytes, defined by F4/80 antigen expression, progressively increased to normal levels by 35 wk of age. There was no difference in the incidence of both primitive and mononuclear phagocyte-committed, CSF-1-responsive progenitor cells in op/op marrow, but their femoral content was significantly reduced in young mice. During the period of reduced hematopoiesis in the marrow of young op/op mice, splenic hematopoietic activity was elevated. This mutant mouse represents a system for the study of the CSF-1-independent regulatory mechanisms involved in hematopoietic regulation.
