The effects of hyperthermia (41-43 degrees C) on the membrane potential (calculated from the transmembrane distribution of [3H]tetraphenylphosphonium) and Na+ transport of Chinese hamster V79 fibroblasts were studied. At 41 degrees C, hyperthermia induced a membrane hyperpolarization of log phase cells (5 to 26 mV) that was reversible upon returning to 37 degrees C. The hyperpolarization was inhibited 50% by 1 mM ouabain or 0.25 mM amiloride, an inhibitor of Na+:H+ exchange. Shifting temperature to 41 degrees C increased ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake indicating activation of the electrogenic Na+ pump. At 43 degrees C for 60 min, the membrane potential of log phase cells depolarized (20-35 mV). Parallel studies demonstrated enhanced Na+ uptake at 41 degrees C only in the presence of ouabain. At 43 degrees C, Na+ uptake was increased relative to controls with or without ouabain present. At both 41 and 43 degrees C, 0.25 mM amiloride inhibited heat-stimulated Na+ uptake. Na+ efflux was enhanced at 41 degrees C in a process inhibited by ouabain. Thus, one consequence of heat treatment at 41 degrees C is activation of Na+:H+ exchange with the resultant increase in cytosolic [Na+] activating the electrogenic Na+ pump. At temperatures greater than or equal to 43 degrees C, the Na+ pump is inhibited.  相似文献

Cells of Tetrahymena pyriformis--NT1 were cultured at 38 degrees C (Tg 38 degrees C) and 20 degrees C (Tg 20 degrees C) and their properties investigated over the range 0-40 degrees C. Tg 20 degrees C cells were viable in the range 3-33 degrees C and changes in their properties were readily reversible between 10 degrees C and 30 degrees C. Tg 38 degrees cells were viable in the range 40-10 degrees C and their property changes were immediately reversible in the range 40-23 degrees C. The I-V relations of Tg 38 degrees C cells showed increased excitability as the cells were cooled from 40 degrees C. At 10 degrees C there was a considerable loss of excitability and slope resistance. Cooling Tg 20 degrees C cells from 20 degrees C gave a similar pattern, although over a narrower temperature range. Warming Tg 20 degrees C Tetrahymena above 20 degrees C led to a progressive loss of excitability and the cells were markedly less viable above 35 degrees C. Within physiological limits the regenerative spike magnitude, repolarization time, time to peak and input resistance increased as temperature was lowered, whereas resting potential was diminished. When compared at their growth temperatures and most intermediate temperatures, the value of the various parameters monitored were generally different for the two cultures. The Q10 value for resting potential changes of Tg 20 degrees C cells about 20 degrees C was 1.20. As in T. vorax this was significantly (P less than 0.01) greater than that predicted for a diffusion potential and suggested that T. pyriformis--NT1 may have an electrogenic pump component in its membrane potential.  相似文献

The effects of the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, on the contraction and membrane action potential of the isolated guinea-pig papillary muscle were examined at various temperatures (30-16 degrees C) and compared to those of isoprenaline and a high calcium medium. A23187 caused a marked positive inotropic effect with a significant prolongation of the action potential duration at an early repolarization phase but not a late repolarization phase at normal temperature (30 degrees C). Such an inotropic effect was completely abolished at low temperature (16 degrees C) where a marked positive inotropic effect of isoprenaline (5 X 10(-8) M) and a high calcium medium (6.2 mM) still remained. These results suggest that the cardiac responsiveness to A23187 was sensitive to a low temperature at which a membrane lipid phase transition may occur.  相似文献

AIMS: To examine the effect of temperature on the antimicrobial efficacy of lactate and propionate against O157 and non-O157 Escherichia coli isolates. METHODS AND RESULTS: Lactate and, to a lesser extent, propionate effectively reduced viability at 37 degrees C. Ethanol enhanced this effect. Reducing the temperature to 20 or 5 degrees C caused an increase in survival in the presence of these organic acids with or without ethanol. At 20 degrees C the deltapH, membrane potential and intracellular lactate anion concentration were less than at 37 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: The efficacy of lactate and propionate against E. coli O157 and non-O157 isolates is reduced at lower temperatures, perhaps due to the reduction in the deltapH, membrane potential and intracellular lactate anion concentration. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: These findings suggest that the usefulness of organic acids as decontaminants for E. coli O157 is temperature dependent.  相似文献

The membrane potential of primitive red cells from 4- and 6-day old chick embryos has been determined using the fluorescent dye Dis-C3-(5). At day 4 the membrane potential Em was -44 mV for pH 7.4 and 20 degrees C and -36 mV at day 6. Both values are far removed from the equilibrium potential for chloride, which is about -14 mV at day 6. Changes in the external potassium, sodium or chloride concentration were without effect on the membrane potential, except at very high potassium concentrations, where a small but significant depolarization was observed at day 6. The measurements gave the same results in the absence or presence of the anion exchange blocking agent DIDS. Three pieces of evidence indicate that the membrane potential of primitive red cells is primarily caused by an electrogenic H+ conductance: 1) The measured membrane potential of -36 mV at day 6 is close to the previously determined proton equilibrium potential (Baumann and Haller, 1983) EH + of -36 mV. 2) Addition of the electrosilent Cl-/OH- exchanger tributyltin causes a significant depolarization of about 20 mV at day 4 and about 14 mV at day 6. 3) Measurement of hydrogen ion fluxes demonstrate a potential dependent proton conductance, which increases with depolarization. These results indicate that large qualitative differences exist with regard to the mechanisms involved in the generation of membrane potential and hydrogen distribution between red cell and plasma of embryonic and adult chicken.  相似文献

Elimination of defective alpha-factor pheromone receptors.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
This report compares trafficking routes of a plasma membrane protein that was misfolded either during its synthesis or after it had reached the cell surface. A temperature-sensitive mutant form of the yeast alpha-factor pheromone receptor (ste2-3) was found to provide a model substrate for quality control of plasma membrane proteins. We show for the first time that a misfolded membrane protein is recognized at the cell surface and rapidly removed. When the ste2-3 mutant cells were cultured continuously at 34 degrees C, the mutant receptor protein (Ste2-3p) failed to accumulate at the plasma membrane and was degraded with a half-life of 4 min, compared with a half-life of 33 min for wild-type receptor protein (Ste2p). Degradation of both Ste2-3p and Ste2p required the vacuolar proteolytic activities controlled by the PEP4 gene. At 34 degrees C, Ste2-3p comigrated with glycosylated Ste2p on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that Ste2-3p enters the secretory pathway. Degradation of Ste2-3p did not require delivery to the plasma membrane as the sec1 mutation failed to block rapid turnover. Truncation of the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the mutant receptors did not permit accumulation at the plasma membrane; thus, the endocytic signals contained in this domain are unnecessary for intracellular retention. In the pep4 mutant, Ste2-3p accumulated as series of high-molecular-weight species, suggesting a potential role for ubiquitin in the elimination process. When ste2-3 mutant cells were cultured continuously at 22 degrees C, Ste2-3p accumulated in the plasma membrane. When the 22 degrees C culture was shifted to 34 degrees C, Ste2-3p was removed from the plasma membrane and degraded by a PEP4-dependent mechanism with a 24-min half-life; the wild-type Ste2p displayed a 72-min half-life. Thus, structural defects in Ste2-3p synthesized at 34 degrees C are recognized in transit to the plasma membrane, leading to rapid degradation, and Ste2-3p that is preassembled at the plasma membrane is also removed and degraded following a shift to 34 degrees C.  相似文献

本文旨在研究急性低温/再复温对大鼠心室肌膜电位和钾电流的影响.膜电位和膜电流分别在全细胞膜片钳的电压钳和电流钳模式下记录.当细胞外灌流液从25℃降低到4℃后,一过性外向电流(transient outward current, Ito)完全消失,膜电位为 60mV时的稳态外向K 电流(sustained outward K current, Iss)和膜电位为-120mV时的内向整流K 电流(inward rectifier K current, IK1)分别降低(48.5±14.1)%和(35.7±18.2)%,同时,膜电位绝对值降低.当细胞外灌流液从4℃再升高到36℃后,膜电位出现一过性超级化,然后恢复到静息电位水平;在58个细胞中,有36个细胞伴随复温出现ATP-敏感性K (ATP-sensitive K , KATP)通道的激活.再复温引起的上述变化可以被Na /K -ATP酶抑制剂哇巴因(100μmol/L)所抑制.再复温引起的KATP通道激活也能被蛋白激酶A抑制剂H-89(100μmol/L)所抑制.在细胞膜电位被钳制在0mV时,当细胞外灌流液温度从25℃降低到4℃后,细胞的体积没有发生明显改变,但当再复温引起KATP通道激活后,细胞很快发生皱缩,同时细胞内部出现许多折光较强的斑点.上述结果表明急性低温/再复温对大鼠心室肌膜电位和K 电流有明显影响,并提示KATP通道激活可能与心肌低温/再复温损伤有关.  相似文献

Membrane potentials of mouse parathyroid cells were measured by means of the intracellular microelectrode method. The membrane potential in external Krebs solution containing 2.5 mM of Ca++ was -23.6 +/- 0.4 mV (mean +/- standard error of mean). The low concentration of Ca++ (1.0 mM) caused hyperpolarization of the membrane potential to -61.7 +/- 0.8 mV. The membrane potential was proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of K ion in the solution of low Ca ion. The concentration of external Na+, C1- and HPO4-- had no effect on the membrane potential. The sigmoidal transition of membrane potentials was induced by the change of Ca ion concentration in the range from 2.5 to 1.0 mM. The change of the membrane potentials in low Ca ion is originated from increase in potassium permeability of the cell membrane. The similar sigmoidal changes of the membrane potentials were observed in the solution containing 4 to 3 mM of Sr ion. The Mg and Ba ion showed smaller effect on the membrane potential. The Goldman equation was extended to divalent ions. Appling the extended membrane potential equation, ratios of the permeability coefficients were obtained as follows: PK/PCa = 0.067 for 2.5 mM Ca++, 0.33 for 1.0 mM Ca++; PK/PSr = 0.08 for 4 mM Sr++ and 0.4 for 3 mM Sr++; PK/PMg = 0.5; PK/PBa = 0.67 for all range of concentration. The Hill constants of Sr ion and Ca ion were 20; the relationship between Sr ion and Ca ion was competitive. The Hill constants of Mg and Ba ion were 1 each. The Hill constant of Ca ion was depend of the temperature; nmax = 20 at 36 degrees C, n = 9 at 27 degrees C, n = 2 at 22 degrees C. The enthalpy of Ca-binding reaction was obtained from the Van't Hoff plot as 0.58 kcal. The activation energies of the K+ permeability increase were obtained from the Arrhenius plots as 3.3 kcal and 4 kcal. The difference, 0.7 kcal, corresponds to the enthalpy change of this reaction, of which value is close to that of the Ca-binding reaction.  相似文献

Calcium stimulates hepatocyte iron uptake from transferrin, ferric-iron-pyrophosphate and ferrous-iron-ascorbate. Maximal stimulation of iron uptake is observed at 1-1.5 mM of extra-cellular calcium and the effect is reversible and immediate. Neither the receptor affinity for transferrin, nor the total amounts of transferrin associated with the cells or the rate of transferrin endocytosis are significantly affected by calcium. In the presence of calcium the rate of iron uptake of non-transferrin bound iron increases abruptly at approximate 17 degrees C and 27 degrees C and as assessed by Arrhenius plots, the activation energy is reduced in a calcium dependent manner at approx. 27 degrees C. At a similar temperature, i.e., between 25 degrees C and 28 degrees C, calcium increases the rates of cellular iron uptake from transferrin in a way that is not reflected in the rate of transferrin endocytosis. By the results of this study it is concluded that calcium increases iron transport across the plasma membrane by a mechanism dependent on membrane fluidity.  相似文献

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked and transmembrane major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II I-E(k) proteins, as well as N-(6-tetramethylrhodaminethiocarbamoyl)-1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (Tritc-DHPE), are used as probes to determine the effect of cholesterol concentration on the organization of the plasma membrane at temperatures in the range 22 degrees C-42 degrees C. Cholesterol depletion caused a decrease in the diffusion coefficients for the MHC II proteins and also for a slow fraction of the Tritc-DHPE population. At 37 degrees C, reduction of the total cell cholesterol concentration results in a smaller suppression of the translational diffusion for I-E(k) proteins (twofold) than was observed in earlier work at 22 degrees C (five sevenfold) Vrljic, M., S. Y. Nishimura, W. E. Moerner, and H. M. McConnell. 2005. Biophys. J. 88:334-347. At 37 degrees C, the diffusion of both I-E(k) proteins is Brownian (0.9 < alpha-parameter < 1.1). More than 99% of the protein population diffuses homogeneously when imaged at 65 frames per s. As the temperature is raised from 22 degrees C to 42 degrees C, a change in activation energy is seen at approximately 35 degrees C in the Arrhenius plots. Cytoskeletal effects appear to be minimal. These results are consistent with a previously described model of solid-like domain formation in the plasma membrane.  相似文献

CM6804 effect has been studied about some parameters of the intracellular action potential (AP) of guinea pig autorythmic auricle. Auricle was preserved alive under Tyrode oxygenated solution at 37 degrees C. AP is measured by a fluctuating intracellular glass microelectrode. At a concentration of 5 . 10(-5) M, CM doesn't alter the resting membrane potential, it causes a small overshoot reduction, it decreases the maximum depolarization rate and the heart rate, it increases the action potential duration. Overshoot and maximum depolarization rate decrease prove that CM modifies the membrane permeability probably by a diminution of the sodium rapid inward current. CM action is similar to others aryl-oxy-propyl propanolamine like propranolol.  相似文献

Membrane fluidity in whole cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A was estimated from fluorescence polarization measurements using the membrane probe, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene, over a wide range of temperatures (6-35 degrees C) and at seven levels of osmotic pressure between 1.38 MPa and 133.1 MPa. An increase in phase transition temperatures was observed with increasing osmotic pressure. At 1.38 MPa, a phase transition temperature of 12 +/- 2 degrees C was observed, which increased to 17 +/- 4 degrees C at 43.7 MPa, 21+/- 7 degrees C at 61.8 MPa, and 24 +/- 9 degrees C at an osmotic pressure of 133.1 MPa. From these results we infer that, with increases in osmotic pressure, the change in phospholipid conformation occurs over a larger temperature range. These results allow the representation of membrane fluidity as a function of temperature and osmotic pressure. Osmotic shocks were applied at two levels of osmotic pressure and at nine temperatures, in order to relate membrane conformation to cell viability.  相似文献

Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles acquire negative surface charge on adsorption of negatively charged pentachlorophenolate (PCP-), and lipophilic ions tetraphenylborate (TPhB-), and dipicrylamine (DPA-). We have obtained (a) zeta-potential isotherms from the measurements of electrophoretic mobility of DPPC vesicles as a function of concentration of the adsorbing ions at different temperatures (25-42 degrees C), and (b) studied the effect of PCP- on gel-to-fluid phase transition by measuring the temperature dependence of zeta-potential at different PCP- concentrations. The zeta-potential isotherms of PCP- at 25, 32, and 34 degrees C correspond to adsorption to membrane in its gel phase. At 42 degrees C the zeta-potential isotherm corresponds to membrane in its fluid phase. These isotherms are well described by a Langmuir-Stern-Grahame adsorption model proposed by McLaughlin and Harary (1977. Biochemistry. 15:1941-1948). The zeta-potential isotherm at 37 degrees C does not follow the single-phase adsorption model. We have also observed anomalous adsorption isotherms for lipophilic ions TPhB- and DPA- at temperatures as low as 25 degrees C. These isotherms demonstrate a gel-to-fluid phase transition driven by ion adsorption to DPPC membrane during which the membrane changes from weakly to a strongly adsorbing state. The anomalous isotherm of PCP- and the temperature dependence of zeta-potential can be described by a two-phase model based on the combination of (a) Langmuir-Stern-Grahame model for each phase, (b) the coexistence of gel and fluid domains, and (c) depression of gel-to-fluid phase transition temperature by PCP-. Within the anomalous region the magnitude of zeta-potential rapidly increases concentration of adsorbing species, which was characterized in terms of a Esin-Markov coefficient. This effect can be exploited in membrane-based devices. Comments are also made on the possible effect of PCP, as an uncoupler, in energy transducing membranes.  相似文献

The structural properties of isolated purified rat brain synaptosomal membranes, both in the presence and absence of purified active toxin of the Mojave snake Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus, were studied by spin-label electron spin resonance techniques. The spectra from eight different positional isomers of nitroxide-labelled stearic acids, a rigid steroid androstanol, and a spin-labelled phosphatidylcholine intercalated into the synaptosomal membranes, were obtained as a function of temperature from 4-40 degrees C. The flexibility gradient (from spin-label order parameters) and polarity profile (from isotropic splitting factors) across the synaptosomal membranes, was characteristic for lipid bilayers. The nitroxide spin-labelled steroid, androstanol, intercalated into the synaptosomal membrane, revealed the abrupt onset of rapid cooperative rotation about the long axis of the molecule at 12 degrees C showing that the lipid molecules are rotating rapidly around their long axes at physiological temperatures. The presence of the Mojave toxin affected the synaptosomal membrane in a complex manner, depending upon the temperature and the position of the nitroxide label on the alkyl chain of the stearic acid probe. Mojave toxin exerted little effect on the flexibility gradient of the synaptosomal membrane at 20 degrees C, a temperature at which the acyl chain labels detected a structural change in the membranes. At temperatures lower than 20 degrees C, the Mojave toxin produced a change in the flexibility gradient of the synaptosomal membrane which indicated an increased disordering in the upper region of the membrane and a concomitant increased ordering of the acyl chains in the deeper regions of the membrane. At temperatures higher than 20 degrees C, the order profile of the synaptosomal membrane was shifted by the presence of the Mojave toxin in a manner which indicated that the outer parts of the membrane were more rigid and the inner regions more fluid, than in controls. A cross-over point for the perturbation occurred at C8-9, which is about 12-14 A into the membrane. This is the approximate depth of the hydrophobic pocket shown in pancreatic phospholipase A2 [Drenth et al. (1976) Nature (Lond.) 264, 373-377], a protein likely to be homologous to the basic subunit of the toxin. At all temperatures, rotational lipid motion was inhibited by the toxin as indicated by the steroid probe. The electron spin-resonance spin-label results are interpreted in terms of the partial penetration of the basic subunit of the intact toxin into the membrane, disordering the ordered chains at low temperature and ordering the disordered chains at physiological temperatures. The purified individual toxin subunits did not perturb the membrane lipids at physiological temperatures implying that both subunits must be associated for activity of the toxin which is confirmed by toxicity studies.  相似文献

At 4 degrees C transferrin bound to receptors on the reticulocyte plasma membrane, and at 37 degrees C receptor-mediated endocytosis of transferrin occurred. Uptake at 37 degrees C exceeded binding at 4 degrees C by 2.5-fold and saturated after 20-30 min. During uptake at 37 degrees C, bound transferrin was internalized into a trypsin- resistant space. Trypsinization at 4 degrees C destroyed surface receptors, but with subsequent incubation at 37 degrees C, surface receptors rapidly appeared (albeit in reduced numbers), and uptake occurred at a decreased level. After endocytosis, transferrin was released, apparently intact, into the extracellular space. At 37 degrees C colloidal gold-transferrin (AuTf) clustered in coated pits and then appeared inside various intracellular membrane-bounded compartments. Small vesicles and tubules were labeled after short (5-10 min) incubations at 37 degrees C. Larger multivesicular endosomes became heavily labeled after longer (20-35 min) incubations. Multivesicular endosomes apparently fused with the plasma membrane and released their contents by exocytosis. None of these organelles appeared to be lysosomal in nature, and 98% of intracellular AuTf was localized in acid phosphatase-negative compartments. AuTf, like transferrin, was released with subsequent incubation at 37 degrees C. Freeze-dried and freeze-fractured reticulocytes confirmed the distribution of AuTf in reticulocytes and revealed the presence of clathrin-coated patches amidst the spectrin coating the inner surface of the plasma membrane. These data suggest that transferrin is internalized via coated pits and vesicles and demonstrate that transferrin and its receptor are recycled back to the plasma membrane after endocytosis.  相似文献

Cardiac transmembrane potentials and Na and Ca currents were recorded at different temperatures in rat and hedgehog ventricular muscle. At 35 degrees C in both species resting potential was about -80 mV and upstroke velocity (Vmax) of the action potential above 100 V/s. The shape of the action potential in hedgehog ventricular cells at 35 degrees C was similar to that in the rat showing a fast repolarization phase. When temperature was decreased, the membrane resting potential depolarized and action potential amplitude and Vmax declined. In rat ventricular cells at 10 degrees C, the resting potential was about -40 to -50 mV and Vmax was reduced to about 5 V/s. In hedgehog ventricular cells, however, the transmembrane potentials and Vmax were better maintained at low temperature. Phase 3 of the action potential was markedly prolonged below 20 degrees C in hedgehog but not in rat ventricular cells. When temperature was decreased to 10 degrees C the availability curve of the Na current shifted toward more negative potentials and ICa.peak declined in rat ventricular cells. In hedgehog cardiac preparations, the Na current was less influenced by the cooling and ICa.peak did not change very much at low temperatures. A transient inward current usually considered to induce cardiac arrhythmias could be recorded in rat ventricular cells below 20 degrees C but not in hedgehog preparations. These features of hedgehog cardiac membranes may contribute to the cold tolerance and the resistance to ventricular fibrillation during the hypothermia in mammalian hibernators.  相似文献

Beef heart mitochondrial H+-ATPase (F1-F0) vesicles were prepared by lysolecithin extraction of ETPH. ATP-driven membrane potential was monitored indirectly by following absorbance changes of the potential-sensitive dye oxonol VI. The steady-state potential was discharged by oligomycin and/or Cd2+ (a dithiol reagent). At 13 degrees C, the agents appeared to act synergistically; at 24 degrees C the data were equivocal. When Cd2+ was added before energization, the membrane potential was markedly attenuated. Both effects of Cd2+ were inhibited by dithiothreitol. The activation energy for oligomycin-sensitive ATPase exhibited a discontinuity at 16 degrees C. However, the temperature dependence of the rate of potential discharge by oligomycin showed no such discontinuity. The results are discussed in terms of the involvement of thiol groups in proton translocation and the thermotropic behavior of the membrane vesicles.  相似文献

Galactose-terminating membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids on two established human breast carcinoma cell lines were tagged at 4 degrees C with a ricin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (Ri-HRP). The cells were then incubated for various periods of time at 37 or 18 degrees C. After fixation and diaminobenzidine cytochemistry, the compartments reached by Ri-HRP were studied by analyzing thin serial sections. In both cell types a highly pleomorphic endosomal system comprising vacuolar elements as well as smaller, sometimes branched, tubular elements (tubular endosomes) was revealed at both 37 and 18 degrees C. At 37 degrees C Ri-HRP was consistently observed in flattened cisterns of the Golgi region in 30-40% of the Golgi complexes examined after 30-60 min of incubation. However, no Ri-HRP reached such Golgi elements at 18 degrees C, even after incubation for 180 min. Moreover, at 18 degrees C the ability of ricin to inhibit protein synthesis was virtually abolished, whereas the effect of diphtheria toxin was reduced much less. Following incubation with a monovalent transferrin-HRP conjugate or with unconjugated HRP, no labeling of cisternal Golgi elements was detected. These data indicate that delivery of galactose-terminating membrane molecules from endosomes to the Golgi complex is a discontinuous, temperature-sensitive process and that this process may be required for optimal ricin A-chain translocation.  相似文献

The full-grown oocytes obtained from toad (bufo bufo gargarizans) submitted in hibernation state or reared at 25-30 degrees C for several months, named hibernation oocyte or high temperature oocyte, had a membrane potential of -41.51 +/- 0.77 mV and -43.83 +/- 1.39 mV in Ringer's solution respectively. The hibernation oocytes underwent GVBD (germinal vesicle breakdown) and membrane depolarization at 19 +/- 1 degree C after progesterone stimulation. The membrane potential was about -20 mV at the period of GVBD, and -10 mV or so at 20 hours after the hormone treatment. However, the high temperature oocytes did not undergo GVBD, their membrane potential decreased before the fourth hour after treatment with progesterone and then recovered. If the hibernation oocytes were preincubated at 37-38 degrees C for 13 hours prior to the culture in the medium containing progesterone (10(-6)M, 37-38 degrees C), no GVBD was observed and the membrane depolarized before the fourth hour after treatment with progesterone then recovered, but MPF was detectable in the cytoplasm (unpublished). Both GVBD and membrane depolarization appeared in the hibernation oocytes and high temperature oocytes after injection of MPF. The time required for the hibernation oocytes injected MPF to attain the membrane potential about -20 mV was 4 hours earlier than that of progesterone treatment. It was just the time required for the appearance of MPF in the cytoplasm of oocytes treated with the hormone. It was noticed in our precedent article that a factor which appeared in the cytoplasm of high temperature oocytes differed from MPF. The factor was called Hibernation Oocyte Mature Promoting Factor (HOMPF).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (up to 2 kbar) upon the fluidity and order of the synaptic and myelin membrane fractions of goldfish brain have been studied by using steady-state and differential polarized phase fluorometry. Probe motion provided a measure of membrane order (r infinity) and probe rotational rate (R). Membrane order became progressively greater as pressure was increased up to approximately 2 kbar. This effect was similar over the temperature range 5.6-34.3 degrees C. An increase in pressure of 1 kbar had an effect on membrane order that was equivalent to a 13-19 degrees C reduction in temperature. Membrane order was essentially identical during pressurization and depressurization. At 5.6 degrees C, pressurization caused a large increase in R, and similar, though less dramatic, anomalies occurred at higher temperatures. It is suggested that this is due to the segregation of probe molecules in highly ordered membranes, which leads either to excitation transfer between 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) molecules or to changes in the rotational motion of DPH from "sticking" to "slipping".  相似文献
