The influence of innervation on the initial differentiation of muscle fibre types was investigated by using the trochlear nucleus-superior oblique muscle system of duck. The adult muscle is composed of three types of fibres (designated as type I, II, III) as identified with the histochemical techniques for ATPase pH sensitivity. Type I fibre ATPase activity was acid-stable, alkali-labile; type II alkali-stable, acid-labile; and type III both acid- and alkali-stable.

Serial frozen sections were stained for alkali-stable adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), phosphorylase, and the oxidative enzymes succinate dehydrogenase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-diaphorase. Myofiber types were identified on the basis of these staining reactions.

The effect of amino acid starvation on the control of ribosome biosynthesis at the post-transcriptional level has been studied in Ehrlich ascites cells. A comparison of the turnover rates of ribosomal precursor RNA (pre-rRNA) and the degree of methylation of ribosomal RNA after histidine deprivation revealed that the slow down of ribosome formation is accompanied by a significant inhibition of rRNA methylation. Analysis of nucleolar and cytoplasmic RNA double-labelled with L-[Me-3H]methionine and [14C]uridine, as well as a quantitative determination of alkali-stable dinucleotides on DEAE-Sephadex, showed that methylation of rRNA species was inhibited by about 50% under shift-down conditions.
