Redistribution of acetylcholine receptors on developing rat myotubes.
The mechanism of formation of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters at developing mammalian endplates was investigated in vitro, using intercostal muscles from embryonic rats. The muscles were explanted in organ culture with the spinal cord attached, as described previously (Ziskind-Conhaim, L., and M. J. Dennis (1981) Dev. Biol. 85: 243-251). AChRs on the myofibers were labeled with [125I]-al...
متن کاملRotational diffusion of acetylcholine receptors on cultured rat myotubes
The rotational mobility of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) in the plasma membrane of living rat myotubes in culture is measured in this study by polarized fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (PFRAP). These AChR are known to exist in two distinct classes, evident by labeling with rhodamine alpha-bungarotoxin; clustered AChR that are aggregated in a pattern of highly concentrated speckles a...
متن کاملMobility and detergent extractability of acetylcholine receptors on cultured rat myotubes: a correlation
On aneurally cultured rat primary myotubes, 10% of the acetylcholine receptors (AChR) are found aggregated and immobilized in endogenous clusters. The remaining receptors are diffusely distributed over the cell membrane and the majority of these are free to diffuse in the plane of the membrane. This study correlates the mobility of AChR (as measured with the fluorescence photobleaching recovery...
متن کاملDiffusely distributed acetylcholine receptors can participate in cluster formation on cultured rat myotubes.
On aneurally cultured rat primary myotubes, 10% of the acetylcholine receptors (AcChoR) are found to be aggregated and immobilized in endogenous clusters while the remainder are diffusely distributed and partially mobile. This paper reports that AcChoR in clusters can be gathered from AcChoR in diffuse areas during the course of normal myotube development. AcChoR were fluorescently labeled with...
متن کاملGating properties of acetylcholine receptors at developing rat endplates.
The gating properties of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) change during the development of rat soleus endplates. During the first 3 weeks after birth, the apparent mean channel open time (tau) decreases severalfold and the single-channel conductance (gamma) increases 50%. To better understand this phenomenon, we used a combination of noise analysis, analysis of miniature endplate currents (MEPCs...
