Visualization of actin fibers associated with the cell membrane in amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum

M Clarke et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1975 May.

Abstract

Amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum were attached to a surface coated with polylysine, and the upper portion of the cells was sheared off with a stream of buffer. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy showed that the cytoplasmic surface of the exposed membrane was covered with fibers consisting of actin-containing filaments. The actin was identified by its solubility properties and its ability to interact with muscle myosin.
