Extracellular matrix organization in developing muscle: correlation with acetylcholine receptor aggregates
Monoclonal antibodies recognizing laminin, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, fibronectin, and two apparently novel connective tissue components have been used to examine the organization of extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle in vivo and in vitro. Four of the five monoclonal antibodies are described for the first time here. Immunocytochemical experiments with frozen-sectioned muscle demonstrate...
متن کاملAcetylcholine receptor turnover in membranes of developing muscle fibers
[125I mono-iodo-alpha-bungarotoxin is used as a specific marker in a description of acetylcholine receptor metabolism. It is concluded that acetylcholine receptors in the surface membranes of chick and rat myotubes developing in cell cultures have a half-life of 22-24 h. Alpha-bungarotoxin (bound to a receptor which is removed from the membrane) is degraded to monoiodotyrosine which appears in...
متن کاملAcetylcholine receptor-aggregating proteins are associated with the extracellular matrix of many tissues in Torpedo
The synaptic basal lamina, a component of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the synaptic cleft at the neuromuscular junction, directs the formation of new postsynaptic specializations, including the aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), during muscle regeneration in adult animals. Although the molecular basis of this phenomenon is unknown, it is mimicked by AChR-aggregating proteins in EC...
متن کاملMuscle Activity and Muscle Agrin Regulate the Organization of Cytoskeletal Proteins and Attached Acetylcholine Receptor (Achr) Aggregates in Skeletal Muscle Fibers
In innervated skeletal muscle fibers, dystrophin and beta-dystroglycan form rib-like structures (costameres) that appear as predominantly transverse stripes over Z and M lines. Here, we show that the orientation of these stripes becomes longitudinal in denervated muscles and transverse again in denervated electrically stimulated muscles. Skeletal muscle fibers express nonneural (muscle) agrin w...
متن کاملMuscle Acetylcholine Receptor Biosynthesis
The expression of the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) on the cell surface entails a complex biosynthetic pathway, involving the expression and assembly of four subunits. The amount of AChR on the cell surface changes throughout muscle development and upon muscle denervation. We have examined the regulatory role of transcript levels on surface AChR expression by RNA blot analysis....
