Phalloidin
Phalloidin, a mushroom-derived toxin, can be used to label cytoskeletal F-actin with fluorochrome (λex = 495 nm, λem = 520 nm). Also, phalloidin can react stoichiometrically with muscle actin, substantially promote actin polymerization, and stabilize polymerized actin. Actin is the major structural protein of the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, and a well-balanced equilibrium between different polymerization states of actin is important for various cellular functions such as cell locomotion and cell growth.?

Cell lines |
Mouse 3T3 and rat kangaroo PtK2 cells |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0.2 or 1 mM phalloidin in 0.14 M KCI (Me2SO concentration 0.4 or 2%), for 3 h incubation |
|
Applications |
When phalloidin was injected into cells, it recruited the less highly polymerized forms of actin and/or G actin, to form "islands" of aggregated actin in a focal plane above the stress fibers. In addition, microinjection of phalloidin interfered cell locomotion and cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner. |
