Molecular disruptions of the panglial syncytium block potassium siphoning and axonal saltatory conduction: pertinence to neuromyelitis optica and other demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system
2010, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :This suggested even then that the axonal rosettes might have an unrecognized role in saltatory conduction, possibly corresponding to voltage-gated K+ channels (Stolinski et al., 1985). Equally important, the same freeze-fracture replicas (Miller and Pinto da Silva, 1977; Stolinski et al., 1981, 1985) revealed that the innermost (adaxonal) layer of Schwann cell myelin membrane overlying the juxtaparanodal axonal plasma membrane also contained distinctive rosettes of P-face (protoplasmic leaflet) particles (Fig. 4B1, B2, arrowheads) of exactly the same spacing as the axonal E-face particle rosettes (Fig. 4B1, arrowheads; B3, large arrow). On rare occasions, the fracture plane stepped from axonal to Schwann cell plasma membranes within an individual rosette (Fig. 4B3, large arrow), revealing that the axonal E-face particles were precisely aligned with the particles in the P-face rosettes in the myelin plasma membrane (Stolinski et al., 1981), demonstrating structural coupling and, therefore, implying functional coupling of the two distinct types of rosette particles.
