Our results mainly validate data obtained by previous freeze-fracture studies on the E and P faces of the outer cortical membrane. At the level of the ridges, the outer E fracture face is highly organized in a regular striated pattern, whereas the P inner face shows a particulate structure. However, our images reveal that this particulate organization of the P face is not limited to the ridges, but it is displayed also by the grooves. Moreover, this face shows two distinct layers, a particulate layer facing the cytoplasm and a striated layer facing the E face; these layers represent different true fracture levels of the same P face.

Abstract

Our results mainly validate data obtained by previous freeze-fracture studies on the E and P faces of the outer cortical membrane. At the level of the ridges, the outer E fracture face is highly organized in a regular striated pattern, whereas the P inner face shows a particulate structure. However, our images reveal that this particulate organization of the P face is not limited to the ridges, but it is displayed also by the grooves. Moreover, this face shows two distinct layers, a particulate layer facing the cytoplasm and a striated layer facing the E face; these layers represent different true fracture levels of the same P face.
