Membranes were prepared from lysosomes purified 80-fold by centrifugation in a discontinuous metrizamide gradient. When salt-washed membranes were combined with rabbit muscle actin, an increase in viscosity could be measured using a falling ball viscometer. The lysosomal membrane-actin interaction was actin- and membrane-concentration dependent and appeared to be optimal under presumed physiological conditions (2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM MgATP, neutral pH, and free Ca concentration < 10-8 M). The actin crosslinking activity of the membrane was optimal at pH 6.4. The interaction was maximal between 10-7 and 10-9 M free Ca ions and inhibited by .apprx. 60% at concentrations of Ca > 0.5 .times. 10-7 M. The actin-lysosomal membrane interaction was destroyed if the membranes were pretreated with Pronase, or if the membranes were purified in the absence of protease inhibitors. The interaction was not destroyed if membranes were washed with high salt or extracted with KCl and urea. In addition, a sedimentation assay for the actin-lysosomal membrane interaction was also performed to corroborate the viscometry data. Results suggest the existence of an integral lysosomal membrane actin-binding protein.
