A subcellular fraction enriched in plasma membranes was obtained from gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) larval midgut tissue. Using [45Ca]2+ as a tracer, Ca2+ transport activity by membrane vesicles in the enriched fraction was measured and shown to be ATP-dependent, with a very high affinity for Ca2+ (apparent Km for [Ca2+ free] 1 Abbreviations used: [Ca2+free] = concentration of free (unbound) calcium ion;CaM = calmodulin; F = fraction; IOV = inside-out membrane vesicles; W-5 = N-(6-aminohexyl)-1-naphthalenesulfonamide; W-7 = N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide. = 22 nM). Ca2+ transport was abolished upon addition of the calcium ionophore, A23187. Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity peaked between 100 and 200 nM Ca2+free. Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity was inhibited by vanadate, 2 phenothiazine drugs (trifluoperazine and chlorpromazine), and the naphthalene sulfonamide, W-7; the related compound, W-5, and ouabain had a negligible effect. These results suggest the presence of a high affinity plasma membrane Ca2+ pump in gypsy moth larval midgut cells and are discussed in light of earlier work involving calcium transport in isolated midguts of larval Hyalophora cecropia. Ionic and other conditions that characterize the midgut physiology of larval Lepidoptera (e.g., luminal pH; electrochemical gradient for Ca2+; effect of certain ions and inhibitors on Ca2+ transport) contrast significantly with those found in adult Diptera. The implications that these differences may have for calcium regulation are discussed. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Background
Numerous surveys reveal high levels of pesticide residue contamination in honey bee comb. We conducted studies to examine possible direct and indirect effects of pesticide exposure from contaminated brood comb on developing worker bees and adult worker lifespan.Methodology/Principal Findings
Worker bees were reared in brood comb containing high levels of known pesticide residues (treatment) or in relatively uncontaminated brood comb (control). Delayed development was observed in bees reared in treatment combs containing high levels of pesticides particularly in the early stages (day 4 and 8) of worker bee development. Adult longevity was reduced by 4 days in bees exposed to pesticide residues in contaminated brood comb during development. Pesticide residue migration from comb containing high pesticide residues caused contamination of control comb after multiple brood cycles and provided insight on how quickly residues move through wax. Higher brood mortality and delayed adult emergence occurred after multiple brood cycles in contaminated control combs. In contrast, survivability increased in bees reared in treatment comb after multiple brood cycles when pesticide residues had been reduced in treatment combs due to residue migration into uncontaminated control combs, supporting comb replacement efforts. Chemical analysis after the experiment confirmed the migration of pesticide residues from treatment combs into previously uncontaminated control comb.Conclusions/Significance
This study is the first to demonstrate sub-lethal effects on worker honey bees from pesticide residue exposure from contaminated brood comb. Sub-lethal effects, including delayed larval development and adult emergence or shortened adult longevity, can have indirect effects on the colony such as premature shifts in hive roles and foraging activity. In addition, longer development time for bees may provide a reproductive advantage for parasitic Varroa destructor mites. The impact of delayed development in bees on Varroa mite fecundity should be examined further. 相似文献3.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a potent biomediator that can act as either an intracellular or an intercellular messenger. In the nervous system it exerts a wide range of actions, and specific membrane receptors for it have been identified in various regions. However, the physiological origin of extracellular S1P in the nervous system is largely unknown. We investigated cerebellar granule cells at different stages of differentiation and astrocytes in primary cultures as possible origins of extracellular S1P. Although these cells show marked differences in S1P metabolism, we found that they can all release S1P and express mRNAs for S1P specific receptors. Extracellular S1P derives from the export of newly synthesized intracellular S1P, and not from the action of a released sphingosine kinase. S1P release is rapid, efficient, and can be regulated by exogenous stimuli. Phorbol ester treatment resulted in an increase in sphingosine kinase 1 activity in the membranes, accompanied by a significant increase in extracellular S1P. S1P release in cells from the cerebellum emerges as a regulated mechanism, possibly related to a specific pool of newly synthesized S1P. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of the extracellular release of S1P by primary cells from the CNS, which supports a role of S1P as autocrine/paracrine physiological messenger in the cerebellum. 相似文献

Three novel Mn(II) complexes bearing benzyloxymethyl functionalities are reported and their ability to enhance water (1H and 17O) relaxation times is investigated in detail. Two of them contain one coordinated water molecule and display relaxivity values only slightly smaller than those shown by the most clinically used contrast agents (e.g. [Gd(DTPA)(H2O)]2-). Moreover, in these Mn(II) chelates the exchange rate of the coordinated water is ca. one order of magnitude higher if compared to the exchange rates previously reported for Gd(III) complexes with octadentate ligands. The occurrence of such fast exchange rates of the coordinated water is exploited in the formation of macromolecular adducts with human serum albumin to attain systems displaying relaxivity values in the upper range of those so far reported for analogous Gd(III) systems. These results strongly support the view that Mn(II) complexes, in spite of the lower effective magnetic moment, can be considered as viable alternatives to the currently used Gd(III) complexes as contrast agents for MRI applications. 相似文献

Precise coordination of protein biogenesis, traffic and homeostasis within the early secretory compartment (ESC) is key for cell physiology. As a consequence, disturbances in these processes underlie many genetic and chronic diseases. Dynamic imaging methods are needed to follow the fate of cargo proteins and their interactions with resident enzymes and folding assistants. Here we applied the Halotag labelling system to study the behavior of proteins with different fates and roles in ESC: a chaperone, an ERAD substrate and an aggregation-prone molecule. Exploiting the Halo property of binding covalently ligands labelled with different fluorochromes, we developed and performed non-radioactive pulse and chase assays to follow sequential waves of proteins in ESC, discriminating between young and old molecules at the single cell level. In this way, we could monitor secretion and degradation of ER proteins in living cells. We can also follow the biogenesis, growth, accumulation and movements of protein aggregates in the ESC. Our data show that protein deposits within ESC grow by sequential apposition of molecules up to a given size, after which novel seeds are detected. The possibility of using ligands with distinct optical and physical properties offers a novel possibility to dynamically follow the fate of proteins in the ESC. 相似文献

In many protein storage diseases, detergent‐insoluble proteins accumulate in the early secretory compartment (ESC). Protein condensation reflects imbalances between entry into (synthesis/translocation) and exit from (secretion/degradation) ESC, and can be also a consequence of altered quality control (QC) mechanisms. Here we exploit the inducible formation of Russell bodies (RB), dilated ESC cisternae containing mutant Ig‐µ chains, as a model to mechanistically dissect protein condensation. Depending on the presence or absence of Ig‐L chains, mutant Ig‐µ chains lacking their first constant domain (Ch 1) accumulate in rough or smooth RB (rRB and sRB), dilations of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ER‐Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC), respectively, reflecting the proximal and distal QC stations in the stepwise biogenesis of polymeric IgM. Either weakening ERp44‐dependent distal QC or facilitating ER‐associated degradation (ERAD) inhibits RB formation. Overexpression of PDI or ERp44 inhibits µΔCh 1 secretion. However, PDI inhibits while ERp44 promotes µΔCh 1 condensation. Both Ero1α silencing and overexpression prevent RB formation, demonstrating a strict redox dependency of the phenomenon. Altogether, our findings identify key controllers of protein condensation along the ESC as potential targets to handle certain storage disorders. 相似文献
