To disrupt the actin filaments of the cytoskeleton, the cell monolayer was treated with 25 nM cytochalasin D for 20 min at 37°C; TGFβ 1 was then applied in the presence of 25 nM cytochalasin D. For chelating intracellular calcium, the cells were preincubated with 5 μM of 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N , N , N ', N '-tetraacetic acid, acetoxymethyl ester (BAPTA-AM) for 15 min.
The coiled-coil motif has also been identified in a variety of proteins associated with centromeres, centrosomes, the nuclear matrix, and chromatin [ 10 11 12 13 14 ] . TPR, a protein associated with the inner filaments of the nuclear pore complex is an extended coiled-coil protein [ 15 ] . The filamentous structures associated with both the outer and inner surface of the nuclear pore complex suggest that additional unknown coiled-coil proteins might be involved in its assembly.
Spectrin and protein 4.1 form a complex with actin filaments [ 17 26 ] that may be important in signaling in additional to forming a physical link between the cytoskeletal network and the cell membrane [ 27 ] . Furthermore, PI4K activity has been shown to associate with the actin cytoskeleton by biochemical detergent extraction [ 28 ] and is thought to specifically localize with α3β1 integrin [ 29 ] . PI4K catalyzes the production of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, an intermediate in multiple phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways which itself can interact with actin binding proteins to regulate microfilament polymerization [ 30 ] . Our work now suggests that the mRNAs of these proteins are all positioned in close association with the actin cytoskeleton to permit efficient localization of their protein products.
Gill filaments are sprouting on branchial arches one and two.
The bare zone of purified wild-type myosin II thick filaments was estimated previously to be in the range of 0.13-0.
