Summary Short oligocytidylates can act as templates for the self-condensation of guanosine 5-phosphorimidazolide. In the absence of a catalytic metal ion or in the presence of Pb2+ a noticeable template effect is already observed with the dimer and the yield of long oligomers reaches a plateau with a hexamer template. Short templates give oligomers longers than the template length. The products are predominantly 2-5 linked for the Pb2+-catalyzed reaction while mixed linkages are observed in the uncatalyzed reaction.In the presence of Zn2+, a template effect is first observed with the pentamer and is maximal by the heptamer. The products are predominantly 3-5 linked. Oligomers shorter than or as long as the template are obtained in substantial yield, and longer products in much lower yields.Abbreviations G

Structural analogues of the NADP+ were studied as potential coenzymes and inhibitors for NADP+ dependent malic enzyme from Zea mays L. leaves. Results showed that 1, N6-etheno-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( NADP+), 3-acetylpyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (APADP+), nicotinamide-hypoxanthine dinucleotide phosphate (NHDP+) and -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2: 3-cyclic monophosphate (23NADPc+) act as alternate coenzymes for the enzyme and that there is little variation in the values of the Michaelis constants and only a threefold variation in Vmax for the five nucleotides. On the other hand, thionicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (SNADP+), 3-aminopyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (AADP+), adenosine 2-monophosphate (2AMP) and adenosine 2: 3-cyclic monophosphate (23AMPc) were competitive inhibitors with respect to NADP+, while -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 3-phosphate (3NADP+), NAD+, adenosine 3-monophosphate (3AMP), adenosine 2: 5-cyclic monophosphate (25AMPc), 5AMP, 5ADP, 5ATP and adenosine act as non-competitive inhibitors. These results, together with results of semiempirical self-consistent field-molecular orbitals calculations, suggest that the 2-phosphate group is crucial for the nucleotide binding to the enzyme, whereas the charge density on the C4 atom of the pyridine ring is the major factor that governs the coenzyme activity.Abbreviations NADP+

Summary We examined the ionic regulation of tip growth inNeurospora crassa by a combination of electrophysiology and confocal microscopy. To determine if transmembrane ionic fluxes are required for tip growth, we voltage clamped the membrane from –200 to +50 mV. In this voltage range, transmembrane ionic fluxes would either reverse (e.g., K+) or change dramatically (e.g., Ca2+ influx) but had no effect on hyphal growth rates. Therefore, ionic fluxes (including Ca2+ influx) may not be required for tip growth. However, intracellular Ca2+ may still play an obligatory role in tip growth. To assess this possibility, we first increased cytosolic Ca2+ directly by ionophoresis. Elevated Ca2+ induced subapical branch initiation, often multiple tips. At hyphal tips, fluorescence ratio imaging using fluo-3 and fura-red revealed a pronounced tip-high Ca2+ gradient within 10 m of the tip in growing hyphae which was not observed in nongrowing hyphae. Injection of the Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(ortho-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N,N-tetrapotassium acetate consistently inhibited growth concomitantly with a depletion of intracellular Ca2+ and dissipation of the tip-high gradient. We conclude that Ca2+ plays a regulatory role in tip initiation and the maintenance of tip growth. Because plasma membrane ionic fluxes do not play a role in tip growth, we suggest that the tip-high Ca2+ gradient is generated from intracellular Ca2+ stores in the ascomyceteN. crassa.Abbreviations BAPTA

Summary This communication reports the kinetics of the Na+/ Ca2+ exchanger and of the plasma membrane (PM) Ca2+ pump of the intact human platelet. The kinetic properties of these two systems were deduced by studying the rate of Ca2+ extrusion and its Na+ dependence for concentrations of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) in the 1–10-m range. The PM Ca2+ATPase was previously characterized (Johansson, J.S. Haynes, D.H. 1988. J. Membrane Biol.
104:147–163) for [Ca2+]cyt] 1.5 m with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator quin2 (K
d= 115 nm). That study determined that the PM Ca2+ pump in the basal state has a V
max = 0.098 mm/min, a K
m= 80 nm and a Hill coefficient = 1.7. The present study extends the measurable range of [Ca2+]cyt with the intracellular Ca2+ probe, rhod2 (K
d= 500 nm), which has almost a fivefold lower affinity for Ca2+. An Appendix also describes the Mg2+ and pH dependence of the K
dand fluorescence characteristics of the commercially available dye, which is a mixture of two molecules. Rates of active Ca2+ extrusion were determined by two independent methods which gave good agreement: (i) by measuring Ca2+ extrusion into a Ca2+-free medium (above citation) or (ii) by the newly developed ionomycin short-circuit method, which determines the ionomycin concentration necessary to short circuit the PM Ca2+ extrusion systems. Absolute rates of extrusion were determined by knowledge of how many Ca2+ ions are moved by ionomycin per minute. The major findings are as follows: (i) The exchanger is saturable with respect to Ca2+ with a K
m= 0.97 ± 0.31 m and Vmax = 1.0 ± 0.6 mm/ min. (ii) At high [Ca2+]cyt, the exchanger works at a rate 10 times as large as the basal V
max of the PM Ca2+ extrusion pump. (iii) The exchanger can work in reverse after Na+ loading of the cytoplasm by monensin. (iv) The PM Ca2+ extrusion pump is activated by exposure to [Ca2+]cyt 1.5 m for 20–50 sec. Activation raises the pump V
max to 1.6 ± 0.6 mm/min and the K
mto 0.55 ± 0.24 m. (v) The Ca2+ buffering capacity of the cytoplasm is 3.6 mm in the 0.1 to 3 m range of [Ca2+]cyt. In summary, the results show that the human platelet can extrude Ca2+ very rapidly at high [Ca2+]cyt. Both the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and Ca2+ pump activation may prevent inappropriate platelet activation by marginal stimuli.Abbreviations cAMP

Summary Olfactory receptor neurons enzymatically dissociated from channel catfish olfactory epithelium were depolarized transiently following dialysis of IP3 or cAMP (added to the patch pipette) into the cytoplasm. Voltage and current responses to IP3 were blocked by ruthenium red, a blocker of an IP3-gated Ca2+-release channel in sarcoplasmic reticulum. In contrast, the responses to cAMP were not blocked by extracellularly applied ruthenium red, nor by l-cis-diltiazem or amiloride and two of its derivatives. The current elicited by cytoplasmic IP3 in neurons under voltage clamp displayed a voltage dependence different from that of the cAMP response which showed marked outward rectification. A sustained depolarization was caused by increased cytoplasmic IP3 or cAMP when the buffering capacity for Ca2+ of the pipette solution was increased, when extracellular Ca2+ was removed or after addition of 20–200 nm charibdotoxin to the bathing solution, indicating that the repolarization was caused by an increase in [Ca
i
] that opened Ca2+-activated K+ channels. The results suggest that different conductances modulated by either IP3 or cAMP are involved in mediating olfactory transduction in catfish olfactory receptor neurons and that Ca2+-activated K+ channels contribute to the termination of the IP3 and cAMP responses.Abbreviations ATP

This study reports the analysis of K+ channel activity in bovine periaxolemmal-myelin and white matter-derived clathrin-coated vesicles. Channel activity was evaluated by the fusion of membrane vesicles with phospholipid bilayers formed across a patch-clamp pipette. In periaxolemmal myelin spontaneous K+ channels were observed with amplitudes of 25–30, 45–55, and 80–100 pS, all of which exhibited mean open-times of 1–2 msec. The open state probability of the 50 pS channel in periaxolemmal-myelin was increased by 6-methyldihydro-pyran-2-one. Periaxolemmal-myelin K+ channel activity was regulated by Ca2+. Little or no change in activity was observed when Ca2+ was added to thecis side of the bilayer. Addition of 10 M total Ca2+ also resulted in little change in K+ channel activity. However, at 80 M total Ca2+ all K+ channel activity was suppressed along with the activation of a 100 pS Cl– channel. The K+ channel activity in periaxolemmal myelin was also regulated through a G-protein. Addition of GTPS to thetrans side of the bilayer resulted in a restriction of activity to the 45–50 pS channel which was present at all holding potentials. Endocytic coated vesicles, form in part through G-protein mediated events; white matter coated vesicles were analyzed for G proteins and for K+ channel activity. These vesicles, which previous studies had shown are derived from periaxolemmal domains, were found to be enriched in the subunits of G0, Gs, and Gi and the low molecular weight G protein,ras. As with periaxolemmal-myelin treated with GTPS, the vesicle membrane exhibited only the 50 pS channel. The channel was active at all holding potentials and had open times of 1–6 msec. Addition of GTPS to the bilayer fused with vesicle membrane appeared to suppress this channel activity at low voltages yet induced a hyperactive state at holding potentials of 45 mV or greater. The vesicle 50 pS K+ channel was also activated by the 6-methyl-dihydropyron-2-one (20 M).Abbreviations CNPase

Partially purified plasma membrane fractions were prepared from guinea-pig pancreatic acini. These membrane preparations were found to contain an ATP-dependent Ca2+-transporter as well as a heterogenous ATP-hydrolytic activity. The Ca2+-transporter showed high affinity for Ca2+ (KCa
2+ = 0.04 ± 0.01 M), an apparent requirement for Mg2+ and high substrate specificity. The major component of ATPase activity could be stimulated by either Ca2+ or Mg2+ but showed a low affinity for these cations. At low concentrations, Mg2+ appeared to inhibit the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity expressed by these membranes. However, in the presence of high Mg2+ concentration (0.5–1 mM), a high affinity Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity was observed (KCa
2+ = 0.08 ± 0.02 M). The hydrolytic activity showed little specificity towards ATP. Neither the Ca2+-transport nor high affinity Ca2+-ATPase activity were stimulated by calmodulin. The results demonstrate, in addition to a low affinity Ca2+ (or Mg+)-ATPase activity, the presence of both a high affinity Ca2+-pump and high affinity Ca2+-dependent ATPase. However, the high affinity Ca2+-ATPase activity does not appear to be the biochemical expression of the Ca2+-pump.Abbreviations Ca2+-ATPase

Under diurnal 16/8-h light-dark cycles, ethyleneglycol-bis-(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) at 1 mM completely blocked the appearance of rhythmic N2-fixing activity in Synechococcus RF-1. Ca2+ at 2 mM, when supplied either together with or several hours after the EGTA application, restored the nitrogenase activity, whereas, when Ca2+ was supplied several hours later, the peak of nitrogenase activity was shifted from the dark to the light period in which the activity is normally suppressed. Sr2+ also reversed the inhibition by EGTA, but only partially. When O2 in the gas phase above the culture was below 1%, the inhibition of nitrogenase activity by EGTA was reduced to less than 20% of the control value without EGTA. Thus Ca2+ appears to be required by the cell to protect its nitrogenase from inactivation by O2. In media without EGTA, a close correlation between nitrogenase activity and concentrations of Ca2+ was also observed.Abbreviation EGTA

Summary To control the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration from the cell exterior, pollen tubes ofLilium longiflorum were treated with a Ca2+ ionophore, A23187. Cytoplasmic streaming was inhibited when the free Ca2+ concentration of the external medium ([Ca2+]) was raised to 5×10–6 M or higher. At [Ca2+] below 1×10–6 M, the rhodamine-phalloidin stained actin filaments appeared straight and thin. However, at [Ca2+] which inhibited cytoplasmic streaming, the actin filaments appeared fragmented. In pollen tubes, Ca2+ regulation of cytoplasmic streaming may be linked not only to myosin (Shimmen 1987) but also to actin.Abbreviations ATP

Summary Treatment of Allium cepa L. cellsuspension cultures with a biotic elicitor derived from the fungus Botrytis cinerea, resulted in phytoalexin synthesis. Two phytoalexins, 5-octylcyclopenta-1,3-dione and 5-hexyl-cyclopenta-1,3-dione, were accumulated in cultured onion cells. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ by the calcium chelator ethylene glycol bis(b-aminoethyl ether) N,N-tetraacetic acid abolished the elicitor-mediated phytoalexin synthesis. The calcium channel blockers, verapamil and 8-N,N-(dimethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate caused similar effects, whereas the addition of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 enhanced the accumulation of phytoalexins in the absence of the elicitor. Increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration in elicitor-treated onion cells was observed as monitored by the fluorescent calcium indicator indo-1. These observations suggest that Ca2+ acts as a second messenger in the regulation of phytoalexin synthesis in cultured onion cells.Abbreviations A23187

Phytochrome is confirmed to be the photoreceptor pigment in the germination response of Onoclea sensibilis L. by demonstrating red-far-red (R-FR) photoreversibility. External Ca2+ is required for this response with a threshold at a submicromolar concentration. Ethylene glycol-bis(-amino-ethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid, La3+ and Co2+ reversibly inhibit germination. Lanthanum only inhibits germination when applied before or during irradiation, indicating that the external Ca2+ requirement is transient, although in the absence of Ca2+ the R-stimulated system remains maximally poised to accept the ion for over 4 h after irradiation. The ability to respond to Ca2+ 4.1 h after R-irradiation is not reversed by FR-irradiation, indicating that Ca2+ transport has been uncoupled from phytochrome. Barium and Sr2+, but not Mg2+ can substitute for Ca2+. Artificially increasing the concentration of intracellular free Ca2+ with the ionophore A 23187 stimulates germination in the dark. The Ca2+-calmodulin antagonists, trifluoperizine and chlorpromazine, reversibly inhibit germination. Calcium is required in phytochrome-mediated fern spore germination; it may be acting as a second messenger.Abbreviations EGTA

Summary Oligouridylates with more than eight chain units can serve as a template for the template-directed condensation of ImpA catalyzed by Pb2+ ion. The templates and the Pb2+ ion catalyst facilitate the formation of longer oligoadenylates with five or more units. The ratio of 3–5 linked oligomers to the 2–5 isomers increases with increasing chain length of the oligouridylate template. Short oligouridylates up to a hexamer tend to decrease the yield of oligoadenylates, and do not affect the selectivity of internucleotide linkage.Abbreviations EDTA

The polycationic dyes, Hoechst 33342 (Bisbenzimide,2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-5-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl) 2,5-bi 1H benzimidazole) and Hoechst 33258 (Bisbenzimide,2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) 5-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-2,5-bi-1H-benzimidazole) alter the activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channel. Although they act competitively, Hoechst 33342 decreases, while Hoechst 33258 increases, the rate of channel-mediated Ca2+ efflux from junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. Unlike other cationic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channel antagonists, Hoechst 33342 blocks the ryanodine-activated Ca2+ channel. Both Hoechst 33342 and Hoechst 33258 inhibit the channel incorporated into the planar lipid bilayer. Since the only structural difference between the two dyes is that the agonist Hoechst 33258 has a hydroxy group where the antagonist Hoechst 33342 has an ethoxy group, it is possible that the more hydrophobic, bulky ethoxy group blocks Ca2+ movement through the channel, whereas the hydroxy group only reduces the rate of Ca2+ movement.The opinions or assertions contained herein are private ones of the author ad are not to beconstrued as official or reflecting the views of the Department of Defense or the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.This work was supported by grants GM 29300 and GM 4695 from the National Institutes of Health and Grant C071BK from the Uniformed University of the Health Sciences. 相似文献

The regulation of total creatine content in a myoblast cell line 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Joseph E. Odoom Graham J. Kemp George K. Radda 《Molecular and cellular biochemistry》1996,158(2):179-188
Total cellular creatine content is an important bioenergetic parameter in skeletal muscle. To understand its regulation we investigated creatine transport and accumulation in the G8 cultured skeletal myoblast line. Like other cell types, these contain a creatine transporter, whose activity, measured using a radiolabelling technique, was saturable (Km = 110 ± 25 M) and largely dependent on extracellular [Na+]. To study sustained influences on steady state creatine concentration we measured total cellular creatine content using a fluorimetric method in 48 h incubations. We found that the total cellular creatine content was relatively independent of extracellular creatine concentration, consistent with high affinity sodium-dependent uptake balanced by slow passive efflux. Accordingly, in creatine-free incubations net creatine efflux was slow ( 5 ± 1 % of basal creatine content per day over 6 days), while creatine content in 48 h incubations was reduced by 28 ± 13% of control by the Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor ouabain. Creatine accumulation after 48 h was stimulated by treatment with the mixed - and -adrenergic agonist noradrenaline, the -adrenergic agonist isoproterenol, the 2-agonist clenbuterol and the cAMP analogue N6,2-O-dibutyryladenosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate, but was unaffected by the 1 adrenergic agonist methoxamine. The noradrenaline enhancement of creatine accumulation at 48 h was inhibited by the mixed - and -antagonist labetalol and by the -antagonist propranolol, but was unaffected by the 2 antagonist phentolamine; greater inhibition was caused by the 2 antagonist butoxamine than the 1 antagonist atenolol. Creatine accumulation at 48 h was increased to 230 ± 6% of control by insulin and by 140 ± 13% by IGF-I (both at 3 nM). Creatine accumulation at 48 h was also increased to 280 ± 40% of control by 3,3,5-triiodothyronine (at 70 M) and to 220 ± 35% of control by amylin (60 nM). As 3,3,5-triiodothyronine, amylin and isoproterenol all stimulate the Na+,K+-ATPase, we suggest that they stimulate Na+-creatine cotransport indirectly by increasing the transmembrane [Na+] concentration gradient and membrane potential.Abbreviations IGF-I

The fluorescent calcium-sensitive dye 1-[2-amino-5-(6-carboxyindol-2-yl)-phenoxy]-2-(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (indo-1) was loaded by a transplasmalemma pH gradient into filamentous cells and protoplasts of Mougeotia scalaris, such that most of the indo-1 fluorescence originated from the cytoplasm. Incubation of M. scalaris filaments in ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA)-buffered media (-log [Ca2+] (=pCa) 8 versus pCa 3) caused a consistent and significant decrease in the cytoplasmic free [Ca2+]. Pulses of the fluorescence excitation light (UV-A 365 nm, 0.7 s) caused an increase in cytoplasmic free [Ca2+] in M. scalaris that was nearly independent of the external [Ca2+] and of chloroplast dislocation by centrifugation. This calcium flux, highest in UV-A light, compared with blue or red light, probably resulted from a release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Increased cytoplasmic [Ca2+] may affect the velocity of chloroplast rotation since UV-A-light-mediated chloroplast movement was faster than in blue or red light. Consistently, the calcium ionophore A23187 and the calcium-channel agonist Bay-K8644 both increased the velocity of the red-light-mediated chloroplast rotation. Based on these and other observations, a Ca2+-induced decrease in cytoplasmic viscosity in Mougeotia is presumed to occur.Abbreviations EGTA

Summary [13C5]-2-Deoxy-d-ribose, synthesized from [13C6]-d-glucose (98% 13C), was coupled with thymine to give [1,2,3,4,5-13C5]-thymidine (T) in an 18% overall yield. The thymidine was converted to the 3-phosphoramidite derivative and was then incorporated into a dodecamer 5-d(CGCGAATTCGCG)-3 by solid-phase DNA synthesis. Preparation of 0.24 mole of the labeled dodecamer, which is sufficient for a single NMR sample, consumed only 25 mg of glucose. By virtue of the 13C labels, all of the 1H-1H vicinal coupling constants in the sugar moieties were accurately determined by HCCH-E.COSY. 相似文献

Summary When K+ of high concentration (50 mM) was applied toNitella cells, the cytoplasmic streaming stopped instantly as in the case of electrical stimulation. Recovery of the streaming after chemical stimulation was much slower than after electrical stimulation. When the endoplasm content was modified by centrifugation, streaming recovery was accelerated in the centrifugal cell fragments rich in endoplasm and deccelerated in those poor in it. The recovery was also accelerated either by permeabilizing the plasmalemma in the presence of EGTA in the external solution or by removing the tonoplast by vacuolar perfusion with the EGTA-containing medium. We concluded that the streaming was recovered due to decrease of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, which seems to be accelerated by sequestering of Ca2+ by endoplasmic components. The slow recovery of the streaming after KCl-stimulated cessation is assumed to be caused by continuous influx of Ca2 + during the prolonged membrane depolarization.Abbreviations ATP

A large, transient depolarization of the plasma membrane precedes the rapid blue-light (BL)-induced growth suppression in etiolated seedlings of Cucumis sativus L. The mechanism of this voltage transient was investigated by applying inhibitors of ion channels and the plasma-membrane H+-ATPase, by manipulating extracellular ion concentrations, and by measuring cell input resistance and ATP levels. The depolarizing phase was not affected by Ca2+-channel blockers (verapamil, La3+) or by reducing extracellular free Ca2+ by treatment with ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). However, these treatments did reduce the rate of repolarization, indicating an inward movement of Ca2+ is involved. No effects of the K+-channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA+) were detected. Vanadate and KCN, used to inhibit the H+-ATPase, reduced or completely inhibited the BL-induced depolarization. Levels of ATP increased by 11–26% after 1–2 min of BL. Input resistance of trichome cells, measured with double-barreled microelectrodes, remained constant during the onset of the depolarization but decreased as the membrane voltage became more positive than -90 mV. The results indicate that the depolarization mechanism initially involves inactivation of the H+-ATPase with subsequent transient activation of one or more types of ion channels.Abbreviations and Symbols BL

Summary In internodal cells ofLamprothamnium succinctum, turgor regulation in response to hypotonie treatment is inhibited by lowering external Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]e) from 3.9 (normal) to 0.01 (low) mM. In order to clarify whether a change in the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) is involved in turgor regulation, the Ca2+ sensitive protein aequorin was injected into the cytoplasm of internodal cells. A large transient light emission was observed upon hypotonic treatment under normal [Ca2+]e but not under low [Ca2+]e. Thus hypotonic treatment induces a transient increase in [Ca2+]c under normal [Ca2+]e but not under low [Ca2+]e.Abbreviations ASW

Voltage clamp was used to measure the voltage dependence of cell-to-cell coupling via plasmodesmata between higher-plant cells (root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.). In addition, ionophoresis was used to introduce a variety of ions [Ca2+, inositol-trisphosphate, Li+, K+, Mg2+, ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N, N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), H+, and OH–] to examine whether they regulate cell-to-cell coupling. Electrical coupling showed high variability in this single cell type at the same developmental stage; the coupling ratio ranged from near 0% to about 90% with a mean value of 32%. It was voltage independent for intracellular voltage gradients (transplasmodesmatal) of -163 to 212 mV. While Ca2+ closes the plasmodesmatal connections (at concentrations higher than those causing cessation of cytoplasmic streaming), inositol-trisphosphate and lithium are without effect. Apparently, inositol-trisphosphate may not cause increased cytosolic Ca2+ in root hairs. Alkalinization by OH ionophoresis caused a modest decline in cell-to-cell coupling, as did acidification by H+ ionophoresis (to an extent causing the cell to become flacid). Increases in cytosolic K+, Mg2+, and the calcium chelator BAPTA by ionophoresis had no effect on cell-to-cell coupling. The regulation (and lack thereof) reported here for plant plasmodesmata is quite similar to that of gap junctions.Abbreviations BAPTA
