Regulation of tropomyosin expression in the maturing ovary and in primary granulosa cell cultures.

Regulation of tropomyosin expression in transformed granulosa cell lines with steroidogenic ability.

Cytochalasin D alters the rate of synthesis of some HEp-2 cytoskeletal proteins. Examination by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

Radioautograms of two-dimensional gel patterns of lysates from cells pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine indicated that the drug altered the rate of synthesis of some proteins, suggesting coordinate induction of HEp-2 cells.

Differential localization of tropomyosin isoforms in cultured nonmuscle cells

Two of the authors' antitropomyosin mAbs, CG beta 6 and CG3, have now been demonstrated by Western blots, immunoprecipitation, and two- dimensional gel analysis to have specificities to human EJ TM-3 and TM- 5, respectively.

Collagen synthesis in mouse embryonal carcinoma cells: effect of retinoic acid.

Collagen synthesis was examined by immunofluorescence reaction using specific antibodies directed against collagen to identify type I, type III, and type V collagen in mouse embryonal carcinoma cells and in two established cellular strains corresponding to trophoblastoma and parietal endoderm.

Tropomyosin isoforms in nonmuscle cells.

In vitro differentiation of mouse teratocarcinoma cells monitored by intermediate filament expression.

Overall the results obtained are in excellent agreement with emerging principles of intermediate filament expression during embryonic differentiation, thus emphasizing the potential use of the various EC lines to study differentiation in culture.

Phenotypic and karyotypic transitions in the spontaneous transformation of a rat cell line.

Changes in the levels of human tropomyosins IEF 52,55, and 56 do not correlate with the loss of actin cables observed in SV 40 transformed MRC-5 fibroblasts

Results presented here suggest that changes in the levels of these three tropomyosins are not enough to account for the magnitude of the loss of actin cables observed in the transformed cells.

Changes in the abundance and distribution of actin and associated proteins during terminal differentiation of human epidermal keratinocytes.

There was variation in the distribution of focal contacts and stress fibres and in gelsolin levels between basal cells at the periphery of colonies and those in the centre of colonies, and the possible role of the cytoskeleton in signalling between integrins and the nucleus.
