Abstract:
:Electrophoretic and autoradiographic analyses of the incorporation of 35S--methionine into newly synthesized proteins during myogenesis reveal that presumptive chicken myoblasts synthesize primarily one intermediate filament protein: vimentin. Desmin synthesis is initiated at the onset of fusion. Synthesis rates of both filament subunits increase during the first three days in culture, relative to the total protein synthesis rate. The observed increase in the rate of desmin synthesis (at least 10 fold) is significantly greater than that observed for vimentin, and is responsible for a net increase in the cellular desmin content relative to vimentin. Both filament subunits continue to be synthesized through at least 20 days in culture. Immunofluorescent staining using desmin- and vimentin-specific antisera supports the conclusion that desmin is synthesized only in fusing or multinucleate cells. These results indicate that the synthesis of the two filament subunits is not coordinately regulated during myogenesis. The distributions of desmin and vimentin in multinucleate chicken myotubes are indistinguishable, as determined by double immunofluorescence techniques. In early myotubes, both proteins are found in an intricate network of free cytoplasmic filaments. Later in myogenesis, several days after the appearance of alpha--actinin-containing Z line striations, both filament proteins become associated with the Z lines of newly assembled myofibrils, with a corresponding decrease in the number of cytoplasmic filaments. This transition corresponds to the time when the alpha--actinin-containing Z lines become aligned laterally. These data suggest that the two intermediate filament systems, desmin and vimentin, have an important role in the lateral organization and registration of myofibrils and that the synthesis of desmin and assembly of desmin-containing intermediate filaments during myogenesis is directly related to these functions. These results also indicate that the Z disc is assembled in at least two distinct steps during myogenesis.
