| Abstract | We used isolated cortices from ameboid cells of Dictyostelium discoideum to examine the structural nature of attachments between microfilaments and the cell membrane and to determine the effect of myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) on such contacts. By varying several parameters in our previously described isolation procedure (Condeelis, J., 1979. J. Cell Biol., 80:751-758), we have improved this procedure and have been able to isolate stable cortices. In this paper we identify two types of contact sites between microfilaments and the cell membrane similar to those seen in the brush border of intestinal epithelial cells: (a) an end-on attachment between the barbed end of actin filaments and the cell membrane; and (b) a lateral attachment mediated by rod-shaped bridges measuring approximately 6 X 15 nm. The spacing between bridges averages 36 nm, which suggests that the helical twist of the actin filament influences bridge location. Together these contacts account for an average of approximately 25,000 attachments per cell. Incubation of cortices with concentrations of S-1 sufficient to saturate binding sites on the microfilaments caused disruption of the contacts. This observation was confirmed by quantitative morphometry to show a threefold loss in the number of contact sites following S-1 decoration. These results indicate that S-1 decoration should be used with caution when information about the precise location of microfilaments and their attachment to the membrane is required. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
