Cuticulin is the first layer of the insect cuticle to be deposited and is laid down as a continuous inelastic sheet over the apical surface of cuticle-secreting cells. During metamorphosis inDrosophila melanogaster, imaginal discs deposit the cuticulin layer of the pupal cuticle between 3 and 7 hr after puparium formation. This is a period of rapid morphogenesis involving cell shape changes and cell rearrangements. We have examined cuticulin depositionin vivoandin vitrowith a view to understanding the coordination of cuticulin deposition with morphogenesis. We find that the optimum hormonal regimen (of the steroid hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone) for the completion of both morphogenesis and cuticulin depositionin vitroparallels the changes in hormone titer observedin vivo. We also find that cuticulin is deposited last over cell boundaries, thereby allowing cell rearrangements to occur as cuticulin is laid down. We have identifiedin vitroconditions under which cuticulin deposition is completed precociously, inhibiting further morphogenesis. Cytochalasin B and colchicine do not inhibit cuticulin deposition and we therefore conclude that an intact cytoskeleton is not necessary for secretion of this extracellular structure. Finally, we present a preliminary protocol for the partial purification of cuticulin synthesizedin vitroby mass isolated discs.
