Abstract
Collagen XIX is an extremely rare extracellular matrix component that localizes to basement membrane zones and is transiently expressed by differentiating muscle cells. Characterization of mice harboring null and structural mutations of the collagen XIX ( Col19a1 ) gene has revealed the critical contribution of this matrix protein to muscle physiology and differentiation. The phenotype includes smooth muscle motor dysfunction and hypertensive sphincter resulting from impaired swallowing-induced, nitric oxide–dependent relaxation of the sphincteric muscle. Muscle dysfunction was correlated with a disorganized matrix and a normal complement of enteric neurons and interstitial cells of Cajal. Mice without collagen XIX exhibit an additional defect, namely impaired smooth-to-skeletal muscle cell conversion in the abdominal segment of the esophagus. This developmental abnormality was accounted for by failed activation of myogenic regulatory factors that normally drive esophageal muscle transdifferentiation. Therefore, these findings identify collagen XIX as the first structural determinant of sphincteric muscle function, and as the first extrinsic factor of skeletal myogenesis in the murine esophagus.

Abstract
A microtubule-based transport of protein complexes, which is bidirectional and occurs between the space surrounding the basal bodies and the distal part of Chlamydomonas flagella, is referred to as intraflagellar transport (IFT). The IFT involves molecular motors and particles that consist of 17S protein complexes. To identify the function of different components of the IFT machinery, we isolated and characterized four temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of flagellar assembly that represent the loci FLA 15, FLA 16, and FLA 17. These mutants were selected among other ts mutants of flagellar assembly because they displayed a characteristic bulge of the flagellar membrane as a nonconditional phenotype. Each of these mutants was significantly defective for the retrograde velocity of particles and the frequency of bidirectional transport but not for the anterograde velocity of particles, as revealed by a novel method of analysis of IFT that allows tracking of single particles in a sequence of video images. Furthermore, each mutant was defective for the same four subunits of a 17S complex that was identified earlier as the IFT complex A. The occurrence of the same set of phenotypes, as the result of a mutation in any one of three loci, suggests the hypothesis that complex A is a portion of the IFT particles specifically involved in retrograde intraflagellar movement.
