Shaping the intestinal brush border
Epithelial cells from diverse tissues, including the enterocytes that line the intestinal tract, remodel their apical surface during differentiation to form a brush border: an array of actin-supported membrane protrusions known as microvilli that increases the functional capacity of the tissue. Although our understanding of how epithelial cells assemble, stabilize, and organize apical microvill...
متن کاملIdentification and partial purification of a band 3-like protein from rabbit renal brush border membranes.
A monoclonal antibody against the membrane domain of human erythrocyte band 3 was tested for its ability to bind to rabbit renal brush border membranes. A single brush border protein with a molecular mass of 43 kDa was recognized by the band 3 antibody. Using DNase I coupled to an agarose-bead support this 43-kDa protein was partially purified by removing actin and a number of actin-bound prote...
متن کاملRat Intestinal Brush Border Membrane Peptidases
The properties of two purified peptidases derived from the intestinal brush border membrane of the rat have been investigated. The pH optima, heat stabilities, substrate specificities, and metal ion requirements of the two enzymes and the effects of inhibitors on their activities were nearly identical. The isoenzymes catalyzed the hydrolysis of a wide range of peptides containing from 2 to 8 am...
متن کاملThe 110-kD protein-calmodulin complex of the intestinal microvillus (brush border myosin I) is a mechanoenzyme
The 110-kD protein-calmodulin complex (110K-CM) of the intestinal brush border serves to laterally tether microvillar actin filaments to the plasma membrane. Results from several laboratories have demonstrated that this complex shares many enzymatic and structural properties with myosin. The mechanochemical potential of purified avian 110K-CM was assessed using the Nitella bead motility assay (...
متن کاملThe U0-kD Protein-Calmodulin Complex of the Intestinal Microvillus (Brush Border Myosin I) Is a Mechanoenzyme
The ll0-kD protein-calmodulin complex (ll0K-CM) of the intestinal brush border serves to laterally tether microvillar actin filaments to the plasma membrane. Results from several laboratories have demonstrated that this complex shares many enzymatic and structural properties with myosin. The mechanochemical potential of purified avian I lOK-CM was assessed using the Nitella bead motility assay ...
