2020, Journal of Structural BiologyCitation Excerpt :We note, however, that mixing actin and TRIOBP in vitro creates tightly packed filament bundles with actin filaments that appear to be of reduced diameter compared to those crosslinked with espin (Kitajiri et al., 2010). Moreover, experiments using the S1 (actin-binding) fragment of myosin II or actin antibodies show that rootlet filaments are indeed actin (Tilney et al., 1980; Slepecky and Chamberlain, 1985). Our data are thus consistent with the proposal that rootlets are formed of actin and that TRIOBP wraps around these rootlet filaments to create a tight bundle, presumably for structural integrity (Kitajiri et al., 2010; Katsuno et al., 2019).

2007, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :The rootlets of microvilli are enmeshed in the terminal web which has fine filamentous networks of actin-associated cross-linkers, such as myosin, tropomyosin, fodrin and spectrin-like proteins (Mooseker et al., 1978; Glenney et al., 1982, 1983; Burgess et al., 1987; Citi and Kendrick-Jones, 1991). Stereocilia are embedded in the cuticular plates which contain actin, alpha-actin, myosin, tropomyosin, fodrin, fimbrin, etc. (Sobin and Flock, 1983; Slepecky and Chamberlain, 1985; Scarfone et al., 1988; Hasson et al., 1997). When acetylcholine is applied to ciliated epithelial cells, the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) is increased in cultured ovine tracheal epithelial cells (Salathe and Bookman, 1995), cultured frog esophagus epithelium (Zagoory et al., 2001), cultured explants of Rana pipiens palate (Aiello et al., 1991) and cultured adenoid explants (Yang and McCaffrey, 1996).
