Representatives of class V and class VI unconventional myosins are identified as components of the intestinal brush border cytoskeleton. With brush border myosin-I and myosin-II, this brings to four the number of myosin classes associated with this one subcellular domain and represents the first characterization of four classes of myosins expressed in a single metazoan cell type. The distribution and cytoskeletal association of each myosin is distinct as assessed by both biochemical fractionation and immunofluorescence localization. Myosin-VI exists in both the microvillus and terminal web although the terminal web is the predominant site of concentration. Myosin-V is present in the terminal web and, most notably, at the distal ends of the microvilli, thus becoming the first actin-binding protein to be localized to this domain as assessed by both immunohistochemical and biochemical methods. In the undifferentiated enterocytes of the intestinal crypts, myosin-VI is expressed but not yet localized to the brush border, in contrast to myosin-V, which does demonstrate an apical distribution in these cells. An assessment of myosin abundance indicates that while myosin-II is the most abundant in the cell and in the brush border, brush border myosin-I is only slightly less abundant in contrast to myosins-V and -VI, both of which are two orders of magnitude less abundant than the others. Extraction studies indicate that of these four myosins, myosin-V is the most tightly associated with the brush border membrane, as detergent, in addition to ATP, is required for efficient solubilization.
