Coelomocytes from several echinoderm species undergo an actin‐mediated cytoskeletal transformation once subjected to hypotonic shock. In this study, coelomocytes from the sea urchins Lytechinus variegatus and Arbacia punctulata were induced to “transform” by treatment with > 5 μM of the calcium ionophore A23187 in the presence of external Ca++. The dependence of ionophore transformation on external Ca++and the lack of chlorotetracycline staining indicates that these cells rely on external Ca++sources. NBD‐phallacidin (7‐Nitrobenz‐2‐oxa‐1,3‐diazole‐phallacidin) staining of lysolecithin permeabilized cells and wholemount transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that similar reorganizations of the actin cytoskeleton take place during hypotonic shock and ionophore transformation, although actin filament bundling is less apparent in A23187‐treated cells. As has been shown with hypotonic shock transformation, the ionophore elicited shape change is inhibited by anticalmodulin drugs. Greater than 10 μM concentrations of W 13 inhibit filopod formation, while this drug's less active structural analogue, W 12, exhibits no effects. W 13 also appears to disrupt actin filament‐membrane associations in the cells. Fluorescent localization of calmodulin using a photooxidized derivative of trifluoperazine indicates a general cytoplasmic distribution with some concentration in filopod core bundles. Coelomocyte transformation may be an example of a cellular shape change regulated by Ca++through the action of calmodulin modulation of actin‐membrane interactions.
