  • 1.1. The effect salivary mucins on the activity of calcium channel isolated from buccal mucosal cell membranes was investigated. The uptake of 45Ca2+while only moderately (15%) affected by the intact low and high molecular weight mucin forms, was significantly inhibited, by the acidic low and high molecular weight salivary mucins which evoked 64 and 60% inhibition, respectively.
  • 2.2. The inhibitory effect of salivary mucins was associated with the sialic acid and sulfate ester groups of the carbohydrate chains, as the removal of either group caused partial loss in the glycoproteins inhibition, and the complete loss in the inhibitory effect occurred following desialylation and desulfation.
  • 3.3. The channel in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and ATP responded by an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa proteins, and the phosphorylated channels showed a 46% increase in 45Ca2+ uptake. The phosphorylation and the calcium uptake were susceptible to inhibition by a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein.
  • 4.4. The binding of EGF to calcium channel receptor protein was inhibited by the low and high molecular weight acidic mucins, causing 41.2 and 36.1% reduction, respectively. This reduction in binding was dependent upon the presence of sulfate ester and sialic acid groups, as evidenced by the loss of the glycoproteins' inhibitory capacity following removal of these groups.
  • 5.5. The results for the first time demonstrate that salivary mucins actively participate in the modulation of the EGF-controlled buccal mucosal calcium channel activity expression, a process of importance to the preservation of oral tissue integrity.

  • 1.1. Gastric mucosal calcium channel complex was isolated from the solubilized epithelial cell membranes by affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin.
  • 2.2. The complex following labeling with [3H]PN200-110 was reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine vesicles which exhibited active 45Ca2+ uptake into intravesicular space as evidenced by La3+ displacement and osmolarity measurements. The 45Ca2+ uptake was independent of sodium and potassium gradients indicating the electroneutral nature of the process.
  • 3.3. The gastric mucosal channels on epidermal growth factor binding in the presence of ATP responded by an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa subunits of calcium channel.
  • 4.4. The phosphorylated channels following reconstitution into vesicles displayed at 48% greater 45Ca2+ uptake, thus indicating the tyrosine kinase involvement in EGF dependent activation of calcium channel.
  • 5.5. The results point towards the importance of epidermal growth factor in the maintenance of gastric mucosal calcium homeostasis.

  • 1.1. The structure of carbohydrate chains in the low and high molecular weight mucus glycoprotein forms from submandibular-sublingual saliva of individuals with blood group B was investigated.
  • 2.2. Alkaline borohydride reductive cleavage of the glycoproteins yielded in each case a population of neutral (55%) and acidic (45%) oligosaccharide alditols ranging in size from 3 to 16 sugar units.
  • 3.3. The predominant neutral oligosaccharides in both glycoprotein forms consisted of 16 and 15 sugar units arranged in triantennary fashion, and carried blood group B and I antigenic determinants.
  • 4.4. Three of the oligosaccharides in each glycoprotein contained sialic acid and ranged in size from 3 to 12 sugar units. In two oligosaccharides sialic acid was linked to C3 of galactose and in one to C6 of N-acetylgalactosamine. The sulfated oligosaccharide in both glycoproteins was identified as a pentasaccharide with the sulfate ester group at C6 of N-acetylglucosamine.
  • 5.5. The results demonstrate that contrary to the earlier view the low and high molecular weight mucus glycoprotein forms of human saliva contain identical carbohydrate chains.

  • 1.1. The fatty acylation of mucus glycoprotein nascent peptides was investigated using [3H]palmitic acid and [35S]methionine-labeled peptidyl-tRNA of rat gastric mucous cells.
  • 2.2. The mucus glycoprotein peptidyl-tRNA fraction was found to contain covalently bound palmitic acid in its complexes.
  • 3.3. RNase digestion of the mucus glycoprotein peptidyl-tRNA released [3H]palmitic acid labeled peptides which, on SDS-polyacrylamide gel, separated into a multitude of bands ranging in size from 2000 to 60,000 Da.
  • 4.4. The analyses of low molecular weight peptides revealed that palmitic acid was present in methionine-labeled peptides containing 30–43 amino acids and those of 18–25 amino acids or larger devoid of methionine, but was not identified in methionine-labeled peptides containing 10–15 amino acids.
  • 5.5. The results indicate that the N-terminal fatty acylation of mucus glycoprotein nascent peptides is a cotranslational process which is occuring in an immediate vicinity of the signal peptide fragment.

  • 1.1. Lactating ewes were treated with mouse epidermal growth factor (EGF) at a dose rate of 0.5 mg/day for 4 days and its effects on the electrolyte profile were observed.
  • 2.2. There was no effect of EGF on plasma concentrations of sodium or potassium, although urinary and total (in urine and milk) losses of both were reduced.
  • 3.3. EGF-induced hypocalcaemia was associated with reduced milk calcium secretion and increased urinary calcium excretion whereas EGF-induced hypermagnesaemia was associated with reduced urinary and total magnesium losses.
  • 4.4. Glomerular filtration rate was reduced during EGF infusion.
  • 5.5. Chronic intravenous EGF infusion affects the electrolyte profile by altering electrolyte secretion by the mammary gland and renal electrolyte excretion.

  • 1.1. Longitudinally split or completely regenerated branch tips from Leplogorgia virgulata show no differences in calcium uptake between control and ouabain treatments. This indicates that there is no ouabain sensitive Na+, K+-ATPase involved in calcium uptake.
  • 2.2. The tissue fractions of both regenerated and split branch tips show, at certain times, higher calcium uptake than control fractions. In the spicule fractions of these tips calcium uptake decreases in vandate treated specimens.
  • 3.3. Pulse-chase experiments show an initial rapid release of calcium from the tips into surrounding seawater.
  • 4.4. The results may suggest the presence of outwardly directed calcium pumps on the basal/lateral and apical plasma membranes of the epithelial cells. Outwardly directed calcium pumps may also be envisaged on the cell membranes of scleroblasts. In addition, pumps may move calcium into specific organelles of the scleroblasts en route to the spicule forming vacuoles.
  • 5.5. These pumps are likely to be Ca2+-ATPase.

  • 1.1. Simultaneous measurement of calcium fluxes in brown trout, at low external [Ca] (20 μ mol 1−1), provided evidence of active uptake of Ca from the medium.
  • 2.2. At pH 4.5, calcium influx was inhibited and efflux was stimulated.
  • 3.3. Cd and Mn, but not Al, at concentrations within the ranges found in acid waters experiencing fish population decline, inhibited calcium influx. Efflux was unaffected.
  • 4.4. Cd and Mn stimulated sodium influx and efflux.

  • 1.1. A protease activity capable of degradation of the high mol. wt salivary mucus glycoprotein to a low mol. wt glycoprotein form was identified in human submandibular gland secretion.
  • 2.2. The protease exhibited optimum activity at pH 7.0–7.4, and gave on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions two major protein bands of 48 and 53 kDa. The enzyme showed susceptibility to PMSF, α1antitrypsin, and egg white and soybean inhibitors, a characteristic typical to serine proteases.
  • 3.3. The activity of the protease towards the high mol. wt mucus glycoprotein was found to be 3.8-fold higher in submandibular gland secretion of caries-resistant individuals than that of caries-susceptible. Furthermore, the enzyme from both groups displayed greater activity against the mucus glycoprotein of caries-resistant subjects.
  • 4.4. Since the low mol. wt salivary mucus glycoprotein form is more efficient in bacterial clearance than the high mol. wt mucin, the enhanced expression of this indigenous salivary protease activity towards mucin may be the determining factor in the resistance to caries.

  • 1.1. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of age and taurine on chick B cell calcium uptake and membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity in 1–4-week-old chicks.
  • 2.2. The calcium uptake rate decreased with age (P < 0.05) and was further decreased by taurine (P < 0.05).
  • 3.3. (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity increased with age (P < 0.05) and was stimulated by taurine (P < 0.05).
  • 4.4. The data demonstrate that the flux of calcium across the B-cell membrane changes during early post-hatch development, and that taurine regulates both the influx and efflux of calcium in chick B-cells.

  • 1.1. Cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) were inhibitory to calcium uptake by isolated gills of Fundulus heteroclitus in vitro. The metals appeared to act by displacing Ca2+ ions from protein carriers involved in facilitated diffusion.
  • 2.2. In saltwater fish, transport of calcium across the serosal membrane of gill chloride cells is partly energy dependent and is likely mediated by Ca2+-ATPase. However, much of the calcium transport through the gill epithelium appears to occur by passive processes.
  • 3.3. Cd (10−5M—10−3M) and Zn (10−7M—10−3 M) inhibited calcium uptake by isolated scale patches incubated in a physiological saline.
  • 4.4. Cyanide, oubain, and quercetin treatment of scale patches produced results similar to those of the Cd and Zn treatments suggesting that metal-induced inhibition of ATPases may be responsible for reduced calcium transport by scale osteoblasts.

  • 1.1. Subcellular distribution of (NA+, K+-ATPase and ouabain-insensitive ATPase (Mg2+-ATPase) are compared in branchial tissues of the euryhaline crab, Eriocheir sinensis, acclimated to fresh water.
  • 2.2. Both the anterior and posterior gills contain cAMP-dependent protein kinase and endogenous protein substrate for phosphorylation.
  • 3.3. Phosphorylation occurs in both “particulate” and “soluble” subcellular fractions but its stimulation by cAMP is restricted to the “soluble” fraction.
  • 4.4. serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine receptors are present only in the “light particulate” fraction isolated from the posterior gills.
  • 1.(a) Serotonin and dopamine have no effect on the phosphorylation observed in a subcellular fraction alone.
  • 2.(b) Activation of the phosphorylation by serotonin and dopamine is found when the soluble fraction (source of cAMP-dependent protein kinase) is added to the fraction P3 from the posterior gills.
  • 3.(c) No activation occurs with the fractions P3 as well as P1 or P2 (not shown) from anterior gills of fresh water crab.
  • 4.(d) Cyproheptadine, a serotonin receptor antagonist, inhibits the 5-HT dependent increase in phosphorylation.
  • 5.(e) The dopamine receptor antagonist, chlorpromazine, inhibits dopamine-stimulated phosphorylation.
  • 6.5. Ouabain mimics the effect of cyproheptadine on the serotonin-stimulated phosphorylation found in the posterior gills.

  • 1.1. The sialidase activity of human thymocyte was examined by a fluorogenic assay.
  • 2.2. These studies revealed that human thymocyte sialidase activity is essentially acid-active and membrane-bound since 59.6% and 33% of the total activity was recovered in the lysosome-enriched and microsomal fractions, respectively.
  • 3.3. A weak activity was also detected in the cytosolic fraction.
  • 4.4. However, the acidic optimum pH of this soluble sialidase was at variance with the general concept of mammalian soluble sialidases which are known to be optimally active at more neutral pH.
  • 5.5. This acidic soluble sialidase seems to be a general characteristic of the human T-cell lineage since examination of mature circulating T-cells revealed that they contain a soluble sialidase activity similar to that observed in thymocytes.
  • 6.6. Analysis of mature and immature thymocyte subpopulation obtained by differential PNA agglutination indicated that this enzymatic system was not altered during the course of thymic maturation.
  • 7.7. These results suggest that unlike in T-cell activation where changes in the level of sialidase activity were shown to influence the extent of cell surface sialylation and thereby the cell physiology, this enzymatic system seems not to be involved in the fluctuation of cell surface sialic acid content observed during thymic maturation.

  • 1.1. Isolated mitochondria from rat liver were incubated in the presence of [U-14C]palmitate, ATP, CoA, carnitine, EGTA (ethylene glycol bis (β-aminoethyl ether) N,N′-tetraacetic acid) and varying amounts of calcium.
  • 2.2. When a KCl-based incubation medium was used, the oxidation of palmitate was inhibited when the concentration of free calcium was increased from about 0.1–10μM.
  • 3.3. When a sucrose-based incubation medium was used, the basal rate of palmitate oxidation was about half of that observed with the KCl-medium and calcium had a stimulatory effect.
  • 4.4. With the KCl-medium the rate of oxygen consumption was inhibited by calcium with α-ketoglutarate as well as palmitate as the respiratory substrate.
  • 5.5. No inhibitory effect of calcium was observed with succinate or β-hydroxybutyrate.
  • 6.6. With the KCl-medium and with α-ketoglutarate as the respiratory substrate, state 3 respiration but not state 4 respiration was inhibited by calcium.
  • 7.7. When the sucrose-medium was used, state 3 respiration was first inhibited by calcium, but this inhibition was gradually relieved and the respiratory rate finally became higher than it was before calcium addition.

  • 1.1. Influence of some neurotransmitters and neuromodulators on the PMA-stimulated phosphorylation in vitro of calcium pump-like protein from rat cerebellum synaptosomal membranes was examined.
  • 2.2. The prolonged time (up to 6 min) of synaptosomal membranes preincubation with 1 and 10 μM serotonin results in the increase of phosphorylation. The decrease of phosphorylation up to 80% of control value was observed for 100 μM serotonin.
  • 3.3. The most stimulating effect on 130kDa protein phosphorylation was observed with 1μM of histamine (160% of control value).

  • 1.1. Observation of ventilation in immersed Pholis gunnellus showed a linear relationship between ventilatory rate and temperature between 8 and 20°C.
  • 2.2. At 13°C and after 30 min emersion, ventilatory rate was initially lower than prior to emersion, providing evidence of adequate uptake of O2 for standard metabolism during the emersion period.
  • 3.3. This species has a laterally elongate body form with reduced scales and extensive mucus secretion.
  • 4.4. During emersion, gaping behaviour probably exposes the gills and extensively vascularised oesophageal regions to air.
  • 5.5. These are considered to be morphological and behavioural adaptations by P. gunnellus, to aerial respiration in the intertidal habitats occupied by this species.

  • 1.1. A 200 kDa glycoprotein (gp200) oncofetal antigen was purified from solubilized membranes of a radiation-induced murine lymphomcytic lymphoma cell line (XR11-5T), grown in syngeneic RFM mice, by successive gel chromatography of the active fraction on lentil lectin agarose, Q- and S-Sepharose and Superose-12 using an FPLC system.
  • 2.2. A murine monoclonal antibody 115, produced by the syngeneic immunization of adult male C57BL/6N mice with 12-day mouse fetal cells, was used in a slot blot antibody assay to follow up the active fractions.

  • 4.4. Treatment of radiolabeled gp200 with neuraminidase caused a slight reduction in size due to the removal of sialic acid groups and a shift in pI to 6.3.

  • 1.1. Responses of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) swim-up fry to dietary calcium in soft (< 1 mg/1 as CaCO3) and hard (> 100 mg/1 as CaCO3) water were determined by feeding purified egg-white diets containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0% calcium from CaCO3 for 8 weeks.
  • 2.2. Catfish fry fed the basal diet (0.03% Ca) in hard and soft water had lower whole-body ash and whole-body calcium concentrations but higher weight gain and survival than those fed calcium-supplemented diets.
  • 3.3. Fry in soft water generally had lower whole-body ash, whole-body calcium, and survival, as well as a higher incidence of spinal deformities than fry in hard water.
  • 4.4. Feeding higher levels of calcium to fry reared in soft water did not increase whole-body calcium levels or decrease spinal deformities to the levels observed for fry reared in hard water and fed supplemental calcium.
  • 5.5. These data indicate that calcium derived solely from dietary or environmental sources was not sufficient for optimum health of channel catfish fry.

  • 3.3. Isoproterenol, forskolin and dibutyril-cyclic AMP also induced an increase in [Ca2+]c.
  • 4.4. Interestingly, synergism was found for isoproterenol or forskolin and ATP.
  • 5.5. The results suggest that there are two pathways for mobilizing [Ca2+] in AS-30D hepatoma cells; one is activated by ATP receptors and the other by cyclic AMP.
