One way to think of these results is that myosin-II might diffuse into the new cortex volume as the cell increases its surface area and myosin-II in the thick filament form is then recruited to the furrow cortex.
In the early nineties, several groups reported lamin-like proteins in different plant species [ 30 31 32 ] . A purification protocol adapted from animal lamins and applied to pea nuclei was used to purify four proteins between 49 and 66 kD [ 31 ] . These proteins were recognized by antibodies against mammalian intermediate filament proteins, and by antibodies against a peptide derived from lamin B. By immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling, these antigens were located mostly in the internal nuclear matrix, and not predominantly at the nuclear rim.
As cytochalasin D has a high affinity (50 nM) for the growing ends of actin filaments, this treatment should inhibit polymerization of existing filaments but should not block new filament formation [ 23 ] . Thus the actin incorporated most likely reflects nucleation of new filaments, as previously discussed [ 24 ] . As expected, cells treated with cytochalasin D during permeabilization showed no actin incorporation (data not shown).
As this MHC mutation inhibits filament assembly [ 11 ] , the inability of GFP-3xASP myosin to form such structures suggests that these TIRF-resolved structures are discrete myosin II filaments.
Each filament was applied perpendicularly to the plantar surface of the ligated paw of rats kept in suspended wire-mesh cages.
