Abstract
The three-diiiiensional configuration and
cheiriicol composition of leptoniei-es in the inouse

actin. the intei-mediate filament proteins desinin and
viiiientin. anci the aciin-binding proteins a-actiriin,
filainin and vinculin. The leptomeres appeared columnar
in shape arid periodically segmeiited by electron-dense
tiisc-like septa. The electrori-lucent areas betweeri these
septa uere composed of fiiie interlinked filainents
running obliquely to the major axis cif the Ieptomere.

leptoineres but not in the fine filaments. No reaction

therefore. that the leptomeres inay not have a contractile
