FORMATION OF ARROWHEAD COMPLEXES WITH HEAVY MEROMYOSIN IN A VARIETY OF CELL TYPES

Open access

Abstract

Heavy meromyosin (HMM) forms characteristic arrowhead complexes with actin filaments in situ. These complexes are readily visualized in sectioned muscle. Following HMM treatment similar complexes appear in sectioned fibroblasts, chondrogenic cells, nerve cells, and several types of epithelial cells. Thin filaments freshly isolated from chondrogenic cells also bind HMM and form arrowhead structures in negatively stained preparations. HMM-filament complexes are prominent in the cortex of a variety of normal metaphase and Colcemid-arrested metaphase cells. There is no detectable binding of HMM with other cellular components such as microtubules, 100-A filaments, tonofilaments, membranes, nuclei, or collagen fibrils. The significance of HMM-filament binding is discussed in view of the finding that arrowhead complexes form in types of cells not usually thought to contain actin filaments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
