The transition in thin-filament arrangement from tetragonal near the Z-band to trigonal in the A-band was investigated by computer-assisted analysis of thin-filament arrangement in serially cross-sectioned rat muscle. Extensor digitorum longus (EDL; fast) muscle from adult rats and adult, 9-day and 3-day neonatal soleus (slow) muscle were serially cross-sectioned from the H-zone of 1 sarcomere to the H-zone of an adjacent sarcomere. Thin-filament arrangement was analyzed throughout the I-band, and particularly at 3 levels of the sarcomere: in the I-band, 1 section (0.06 .mu.m) from the Z-bank; 6 sections (0.36 .mu.m) from the Z-band; in the A-band, 2 sections from the A-I junction (0.72 .mu.m from the Z-band). Data for radial distributions and annular distributions were obtained by computer. In all muscle studies, thin-filament arrangement exhibited 4-neighbor ordering throughout the I-band. Thin-filament arrangement exhibited 3-neighbor ordering only in the A-band. The transition in thin-filament arrangement from 4-neighbor to 3-neighbor ordering occurred within 0.12 .mu.m of the A-I junction in muscles fixed at rest length. In adult soleus that had been stretched 20% so that the A-I junction moved away from the N2-line, the transition in thin-filament arrangement occurred in the I-band within a region 0.4-0.5 .mu.m from the Z-band. This region corresponds to the N2-line region of the I-band. The transition from 4-neighbor to 3-neighbor ordering occurs in the I-band independent of the thin filament-thick filament interaction. Some inherent feature of the I-band or thin filament-thin filament interaction imposes a 4-neighbor ordering on thin filaments from the Z-band to the N2-line.
