Faults in the Square Lattice of Mammalian Skeletal Muscle Z-Disks

R. W. D. ROWE 1 and D. J. MORTON 1

1 CSIRO Division of Food Preservation, Meat Research Laboratory, Cannon Hill, Queensland, Australia 4170

The ordered square lattices of filaments in the Z-disk and juxtaposed I-band regions proposed by current models of Z-disk structure were compared with those observed by electron microscopy. It was commonly found that there were faults in the lattices of both the Z-disk and I-band regions. Attention is drawn to these faults and the consequences of their presence are discussed in relation to their influence on myofibril size and proliferation.
