The resulting fluorescent patterns indicated that, unlike many other cell systems, Euglena cells apparently change from round to long to round cell shape without associated cytoplasmic microtubule assembly and disassembly. Instead, the different cell shapes were correlated with microtubule patterns, which suggested the movement of stable microtubules to accomplish cell shape changes. In live intact cells, these microtubules were demonstrated by immunofluorescence to be stable to lowered temperature and elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels, treatments that are commonly used to depolymerize microtubules. In cells extracted in detergent at low temperature or in the presence of elevated Ca2+ levels, the fluorescent image of the microtubules was disrupted. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the loss of one subset of pellicle microtubules. The difference in microtubule stability to these agents between live intact cells and cells extracted in detergent suggested the presence of a microtubule-stabilizing factor in live cells, which is released from the cell by extraction with detergent, thereby permitting microtubule depolymerization by Ca2+ or lowered temperature. The calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine prevented the Ca2+-induced disruption of the fluorescent microtubule pattern in cells extracted in detergent. These results implied the involvement of calmodulin in the sensitivity to Ca2+ of the microtubules of cells extracted in detergent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.74.1.219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,26]],"date-time":"2021-04-26T21:09:22Z","timestamp":1619471362000},"page":"219-237","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Regulation of cell shape in <i>Euglena gracilis<\/i>. iii. involvement of stable microtubules"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Carole L.","family":"Lachney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Neto Orleans Department of Biological Sciences , , Lakefront, Nevi Orleans, LA 70148, U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas A.","family":"Lonergan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Neto Orleans Department of Biological Sciences , , Lakefront, Nevi Orleans, LA 70148, U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1985,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023122121340736900_JOCES_74_1_219C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"39","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1550-7408.1970.tb05157.x","article-title":"Pellicular microtubules in the Family Trypanosomatidae","volume":"17","author":"Angelopoulos","year":"1970","journal-title":"J.
