We have discovered the first protein to bind to a nonfilamentous myosin, aside from actin. This protein, Acan125, is a 125-kDa protein from Acanthamoeba that associates with the SH3 domain of Acanthamoeba myosin-IC and not the SH3 domain of human fodrin. Antibodies raised against Acan125 recognize a single protein of 125 kDa from a whole cell lysate of Acanthamoeba; antibodies to myosin-I (M1.7 and M1.8) do not recognize Acan125 on the same blot. Double labeling of Acanthamoeba show Acan125 and myosin-I to be present on the same intracellular organelle, most likely amoebastomes. Immunoprecipitation with either anti-myosin-I or anti-Acan125 antibodies coprecipitates both Acan125 and myosin-I from a lysate of Acanthamoeba, demonstrating that Acan125 interacts with native myosin-I.
