The mechanical link coupling cytoskeletal and contractile proteins to the sarcolemma of smooth muscle cells is essential for transmitting tension from the cell's interior to exterior. In addition to the well-characterized actin-integrin associations present in adhaerens junctions, our recent work has postulated the existence of a reversible annexin-dependent membrane-cytoskeleton complex, forged in response to a rise in intracellular Ca2+ concentration following smooth muscle cell stimulation (Babiychuk et al., J. Biol Chem. 1999, 274, 35191-35195). Detailed biochemical characterization of the interactions responsible for the formation of this complex revealed that annexins II and VI interact with actomyosin, or detergent-insoluble glycosphingolipid-enriched membrane domains (rafts) purified from smooth muscle, in a concentration- and Ca2+-dependent manner. Annexin II interacted with lipid rafts with high Ca2+-sensitivity, while for annexin VI this interaction required non-physiologically high concentrations of free Ca2+. However, the Ca2+-sensitivity of the latter interaction strongly increased in the presence of purified smooth muscle actomyosin. The detailed biochemical analysis of the interactions occurring between annexin II, annexin VI, actomyosin and rafts suggests that annexins regulate sarcolemmal organization during smooth muscle cell contraction.
