To study the role of CD44s-ankyrin interaction in regulating human prostate tumor cells, we have constructed several CD44s cytoplasmic deletion mutants that lack the ankyrin-binding site(s). These truncated cDNAs were stably transfected into CD44-negative human prostate tumor cells (LNCaP). Our results indicate that a critical region of 15-amino acids (aa) between aa 304 and aa 318 of CD44s is required for ankyrin binding. Biochemical analyses, using competition binding assays with a synthetic peptide containing the 15 aa between aa 304 and aa 318 (NSGNGAVEDRKPSGL), further support the conclusion that this region contains the ankyrin-binding domain of CD44s. Deletion of this 15-aa ankyrin-binding sequence from CD44s results in a drastic reduction of HA-mediated binding/cell adhesion, Src p60 kinase(s) interaction and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar. These findings suggest that the binding of cytoskeletal proteins, such as ankyrin, to the cytoplasmic domain of CD44s plays a pivotal role in regulating HA-mediated functions as well as Src kinase activity and prostate tumor cell transformation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9675,"journal":{"name":"Cell motility and the cytoskeleton","volume":"39 3","pages":"209-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0169(1998)39:3<209::AID-CM4>3.0.CO;2-#","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20442489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown here that the cellular ATP concentration varies through the cell cycle, reaching a peak at G2M- and minimum at late G1/early S-phase. Furthermore, we have found, using indirect immunofluorescent staining with an antitubulin antibody, that depolymerization of the interphase microtubular network may be induced by increasing the intracellular ATP concentration in cultured fibroblasts from 2.2 mM to 4.1 mM. This may be obtained through addition of adenosine and P1 to the growth medium. Our results indicate that this effect of adenosine and Pi is not mediated via adenosine receptors, but through an elevated cellular ATP concentration.

We labeled myosin with biotin or tetramethyl-rhodamine iodoacetamide (IATR). The labeled myosin shows normal activities as reversible filament assembly and Ca2+ and actin-activatable Mg(2+)-ATPase. We used the biotin-myosin as a probe examining the effects of microinjection on the amoebae and the ability to associate with endogenous actin cytoskeleton. The biotin-myosin incorporates into certain actin populations and localizes to the cortex with the highest accumulation in the posterior end of polarized amoebae. The dynamics in live amoebae were probed by TR-myosin. We monitored the dynamics for a long period to determined the dynamic reorganization corresponding specific cellular behaviors. The TR-myosin converges into a discrete actin- and myosin-rich structure located at the posterior end (\"myosin-organizing center\"). The rod-shaped TR-myosin exhibits linear orderly arrays emanating from the organizing center which extend about two-thirds of the cell length. The myosin arrays show a dynamic reorganization when the amoebae move. To examine if the observed myosin dynamics are related to filamentous (F-) actin, we disrupted the F-actin by cytochalasin D. The ratioed image of TR-myosin (vs. FITC-dextran) demonstrates that myosin in these cells accumulates in the cortex but does not form the organizing center. Overall, the results suggest that the filamentous myosin organizes into orderly arrays in the live cytoplasm and its translocation occurs by means of F-actin cables, converging into the organizing center.</p>","PeriodicalId":9675,"journal":{"name":"Cell motility and the cytoskeleton","volume":"35 3","pages":"254-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0169(1996)35:3<254::AID-CM7>3.0.CO;2-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19878907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
