Different Cell Types

Various types of intermediate-sized (10-nm) filaments have been found and described in many different cell types during the past few years. Despite the differences in the chemical composition among the different types of filaments, they all yield common structural features: they are usually up to several microns long and have a diameter of 7 to 10 nm; there is evidence that they are made of several 2 to 3.5 nm wide protofilaments which are helically wound around each other; the secondary structure of the polypeptides constituting the filaments is rich in ∞-helix. However a detailed description of their structural organization is lacking to date.

Plant Cell Walls

The comprehension of the molecular architecture of plant cell walls is one of the best examples in cell biology which illustrates how developments in microscopy have extended the frontiers of a topic. Indeed from the first electron microscope observation of cell walls it has become apparent that our understanding of wall structure has advanced hand in hand with improvements in the technology of specimen preparation for electron microscopy. Cell walls are sub-cellular compartments outside the peripheral plasma membrane, the construction of which depends on a complex cellular biosynthetic and secretory activity (1). They are composed of interwoven polymers, synthesised independently, which together perform a number of varied functions. Biochemical studies have provided us with much data on the varied molecular composition of plant cell walls. However, the detailed intermolecular relationships and the three dimensional arrangement of the polymers in situ remains a mystery. The difficulty in establishing a general molecular model for plant cell walls is also complicated by the vast diversity in wall composition among plant species.

In this symposium I will present our studies about the molecular architecture and function of the cytomatrix of the nerve cells. The nerve cell is a highly polarized cell composed of highly branched dendrites, cell body, and a single long axon along the direction of the impulse propagation. Each part of the neuron takes characteristic shapes for which the cytoskeleton provides the framework. The neuronal cytoskeletons play important roles on neuronal morphogenesis, organelle transport and the synaptic transmission. In the axon neurofilaments (NF) form dense arrays, while microtubules (MT) are arranged as small clusters among the NFs. On the other hand, MTs are distributed uniformly, whereas NFs tend to run solitarily or form small fascicles in the dendrites Quick freeze deep etch electron microscopy revealed various kinds of strands among MTs, NFs and membranous organelles (MO). These structures form major elements of the cytomatrix in the neuron. To investigate molecular nature and function of these filaments first we studied molecular structures of microtubule associated proteins (MAP1A, MAP1B, MAP2, MAP2C and tau), and microtubules reconstituted from MAPs and tubulin in vitro. These MAPs were all fibrous molecules with different length and formed arm like projections from the microtubule surface.

The thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus spec. B12 , which is closely related to Sulfolobus solfataricus , possesses a regularly arrayed surface protein (S-layer), which is linked to the plasma membrane via spacer elements spanning a distinct interspace of approximately 18 nm. The S-layer has p3-Symmetry and a lattice constant of 21 nm; three-dimensional reconstructions of negatively stained fragments yield a layer thickness of approximately 6-7 nm.For analysing the molecular architecture of Sulfolobus surface protein in greater detail we use aurothioglucose(ATG)-embedding for specimen preparation. Like glucose, ATG, is supposed to mimic the effect of water, but has the advantage of being less volatile. ATG has advantages over glucose when working with specimens composed exclusively of protein because of its higher density of 2.92 g cm-3. Because of its high radiation sensitivity electromicrographs has to be recorded under strict low-dose conditions. We have recorded electromicrographs with a liquid helium-cooled superconducting electron microscope (the socalled SULEIKA at the Fritz-Haber-lnstitut) with a specimen temperature of 4.5 K and with a maximum dose of 2000 e nm-2 avoiding any pre-irradiation of the specimen.
