Patterns of organization of actin and myosin in normal and transformed cultured cells
Abstract
The patterns of distribution of intracellular actin and myosin were examined by specific immunofluorescence in a series of normal, simian-virus-40-transformed, and revertant cell lines of rat and mouse origin. A consistent correlation was found between sensitivity to anchorage-dependent growth control and the presence of large, thick sheaths of actin-containing material. The presence of these sheaths was temperature-dependent in a rat line transformed by a temperature-sensitive mutant in the complementation group A of the oncogenic virus simian virus 40.
