... of the Na,K-ATPase colocalize with β-spectrin and ankyrin 3 in costameres, structures at the sarcolemma that lie over Z and M-lines and in longitudinal strands. In immunoprecipitates, the α1 and α2 subunits of the Na,K-ATPase as well as ankyrin 3 associate with β-spectrin/α-fodrin heteromers and with a pool...

... network. Confocal and immunoelectron microscopy revealed that plectin was restricted to areas underlying the lateral plasma membrane. It colocalised with fodrin, a component of the submembrane skeleton, and was closely associated with desmosomal plaque structures. Biochemically, plectin was shown...

...J. Meriläinen; R. Palovuori; R. Sormunen; V.-M. Wasenius; V.-P. Lehto ABSTRACT Fodrin (nonerythroid spectrin) is a membrane skeletal protein that plays an important role in the establishment and maintenance of the cell shape and polarity. We have identified in α-fodrin an src homology 3 (SH3...

...Toyoshi Fujimoto; Kazuo Ogawa ABSTRACT Fodrin, a membrane skeletal protein, was found to accumulate in the posterior portion of human neutrophils polarized morphologically after stimulation by the chemotactic peptide, IV-formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine (FMLP). In most (>90%) unstimulated...

... antigen did not require redistribution of the other major surface glycoproteins, and was acΛcompanied by a partial co-capping of the cytoΛskeletal proteins fodrin and actin, but not of tubulin. A study of the ability of a cell that already possesses one glycoprotein cap to cap a second different...
