Spectrin, a component of the membrane skeleton in erythrocytes and other animal cells, has also been identified in plant and fungal cells. However, its postulated role, i.e., the maintenance of shape and elasticity of the plasma membrane, is probably not exerted in walled cells. To study spectrin in these cells, we chose yeasts because of a high morphological variability of their life cycle. The localization of spectrin in the cells and protoplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. versatilis was detected by Western blotting, indirect immunofluorescence and immunogold electron microscopy techniques with the use of anti-chicken and anti-human erythrocyte spectrin antibodies. A 220/240 kDa protein band and some bands of lower molecular weights were detected in cell and protoplast extracts of both yeast strains. Spectrin-like proteins were revealed by fluorescence microscopy at cell surfaces and in vacuolar membranes. Immunogold-labelling showed spectrin-like proteins in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles, nuclei, vesicles, mitochondria and cell walls. The topology of spectrin was not affected by actin depolymerization with Latrunculin B, nor was it changed in either act1-1 or cdc42 mutants under restrictive conditions. Under osmotic stress, both spectrin and actin were delocalized and appeared in the form of large clusters in the cytoplasm. It is concluded that a protein cross-reacting with spectrin antibodies is present in fission and budding yeasts. Generally, it is located in the proximity of the plasma membrane and other intracellular membranes, probably as a part of the membrane skeleton. No evidence of its relationship to either actin or growth zones of the cell can be provided.
