The relationship of a member of the transmembrane dystrophin-associated glycoprotein (DAG) complex to acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) was investigated using immunofluorescence techniques at rat neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) viewed en face. These results were compared with those from a similar previous study of dystrophin and an autosomal homologue (utrophin or dystrophin-related protein, DRP) (Bewick et al. Neuro Report 1992; 3: 857-860). The region of highest 43 K DAG (43DAG) labelling projected beyond the AChRs by approximately 0.3 microns, as does that for dystrophin. By contrast DRP labelling precisely co-localizes with the AChRs. These results suggest that at the NMJ, the region of high 43DAG concentration encompasses the area of highest intensity labelling for both DRP and dystrophin.
利用免疫荧光技术,在大鼠神经肌肉接头(NMJ)的正面视图中,研究了跨膜肌营养不良蛋白相关糖蛋白(DAG)复合物的一个成员与乙酰胆碱受体(AChR)之间的关系。将这些结果与之前一项关于肌营养不良蛋白和常染色体同源物(抗肌萎缩蛋白相关蛋白或肌营养不良蛋白相关蛋白,DRP)的类似研究结果进行了比较(Bewick等人,《神经报告》,1992年;3:857 - 860)。43K DAG(43DAG)标记最高的区域比AChR超出约0.3微米,肌营养不良蛋白的情况也是如此。相比之下,DRP标记与AChR精确共定位。这些结果表明,在NMJ处,高浓度43DAG区域包含了DRP和肌营养不良蛋白标记强度最高的区域。
