The collagen-tailed forms of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are
accumulated at mammalian neuromuscular junctions. The
A4, A8, and A12 forms
are expressed differently in the rat fast and slow muscles; the
sternomastoid muscle contains essentially the A12 form at
end plates, whereas the soleus muscle also contains extrajunctional A4 and A8 forms. We show that collagen Q (ColQ)
transcripts become exclusively junctional in the adult sternomastoid
but remain uniformly expressed in the soleus. By coinjecting
Xenopus oocytes with AChET and ColQ mRNAs,
we reproduced the muscle patterns of collagen-tailed forms. The soleus
contains transcripts ColQ1 and ColQ1a, whereas the sternomastoid only
contains ColQ1a. Collagen-tailed AChE represents the first evidence
that synaptic components involved in cholinergic transmission may be
differently regulated in fast and slow muscles.
Key words:
neuromuscular junction; acetylcholinesterase; collagen; fast muscle; slow muscle; rat
