The activation mechanism of the recently cloned human transient receptor potential vanilloid type 6 (TRPV6) channel, originally termed Ca(2+) transporter-like protein and Ca(2+) transporter type 1, was investigated in whole-cell patch-clamp experiments using transiently transfected human embryonic kidney and rat basophilic leukemia cells. The TRPV6-mediated currents are highly Ca(2+)-selective, show a strong inward rectification, and reverse at positive potentials, which is similar to store-operated Ca(2+) entry in electrically nonexcitable cells. The gating of TRPV6 channels is strongly dependent on the cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration; lowering the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration results in Ca(2+) influx, and current amplitude correlates with the intracellular EGTA or BAPTA concentration. This is also the case for TRPV6-mediated currents in the absence of extracellular divalent cations; compared with endogenous currents in nontransfected rat basophilic leukemia cells, these TRPV6-mediated monovalent currents reveal differences in reversal potential, inward rectification, and slope at very negative potentials. Release of stored Ca(2+) by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and/or the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin appears not to be involved in TRPV6 channel gating in both cell lines but, in rat basophilic leukemia cells, readily activates the endogenous Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current. In conclusion, TRPV6, expressed in human embryonic kidney cells and in rat basophilic leukemia cells, functions as a Ca(2+)-sensing Ca(2+) channel independently of procedures known to deplete Ca(2+) stores. 相似文献

The physiological role and activation mechanism for most proteins of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family are unknown. This is also the case for the highly Ca(2+) selective transient receptor potential vanilloid type 6 (TRPV6) channel. Patch clamp experiments were performed on transiently transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells to address this issue. Currents were recorded under various conditions of intracellular Ca(2+) buffering and monitored at the same voltage throughout. No TRPV6-mediated Ca(2+) entry was detected under in vivo Ca(2+) buffering conditions at a slightly negative holding potential; however, moderate depolarization resulted in current activation. Very similar results were obtained with different Ca(2+) chelators, either EGTA or BAPTA dialyzing the cell. TRPV6 channel activity showed a negative correlation with the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and was modulated by the membrane potential: Hyperpolarization decreases and depolarization increases TRPV6-mediated currents. Monovalent ions permeated TRPV6 channels in the absence of extracellular divalent cations. These currents were resistant to changes in the holding potential while the negative correlation to the [Ca(2+)](i) was conserved, indicating that the voltage-dependent current changes depend on blocking and unblocking the charge carrier Ca(2+) within the pore. In summary, these results suggest that the voltage dependence of TRPV6-mediated Ca(2+) influx is of physiological importance since it occurs at cytosolic Ca(2+) buffering and takes place within a physiologically relevant membrane potential range. 相似文献

The capsaicin receptor TRPV1, a member of the transient receptor potential family of non-selective cation channels is a polymodal nociceptor. Noxious thermal stimuli, protons, and the alkaloid irritant capsaicin open the channel. The mechanisms of heat and capsaicin activation have been linked to voltage-dependent gating in TRPV1. However, until now it was unclear whether proton activation or potentiation or both are linked to a similar voltage-dependent mechanism and which molecular determinants underlie the proton gating. Using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique, we show that protons activate and potentiate TRPV1 by shifting the voltage dependence of the activation curves towards more physiological membrane potentials. We further identified a key residue within the pore region of TRPV1, F660, to be critical for voltage-dependent proton activation and potentiation. We conclude that proton activation and potentiation of TRPV1 are both voltage dependent and that amino acid 660 is essential for proton-mediated gating of TRPV1. 相似文献

Transient receptor potential channels are involved in sensing chemical and physical changes inside and outside of cells. TRPV3 is highly expressed in skin keratinocytes, where it forms a nonselective cation channel activated by hot temperatures in the innocuous and noxious range. The channel has also been implicated in flavor sensation in oral and nasal cavities as well as being a molecular target of some allergens and skin sensitizers. TRPV3 is unique in that its activity is sensitized upon repetitive stimulations. Here we investigated the role of calcium ions in the sensitization of TRPV3 to repetitive stimulations. We show that the sensitization is accompanied by a decrease of Ca(2+)-dependent channel inhibition mediated by calmodulin acting at an N-terminal site (amino acids 108-130) and by an acidic residue (Asp(641)) at the pore loop of TRPV3. These sites also contribute to the voltage dependence of TRPV3. During sensitization, the channel displayed a gradual shift of the voltage dependence to more negative potentials as well as uncoupling from voltage sensing. The initial response to ligand stimulation was increased and sensitization to repetitive stimulations was decreased by increasing the intracellular Ca(2+)-buffering strength, inhibiting calmodulin, or disrupting the calmodulin-binding site. Mutation of Asp(641) to Asn abolished the high affinity extracellular Ca(2+)-mediated inhibition and greatly facilitated the activation of TRPV3. We conclude that Ca(2+) inhibits TRPV3 from both the extracellular and intracellular sides. The inhibition is sequentially reduced, appearing as sensitization to repetitive stimulations. 相似文献

The transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) channel is a nonselective cation channel activated by a variety of exogenous and endogenous physical and chemical stimuli, such as temperature (≥42 °C), capsaicin, a pungent compound in hot chili peppers, and allyl isothiocyanate. Large-conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channels regulate the electric activities and neurotransmitter releases in excitable cells, responding to changes in membrane potentials and elevation of cytosolic calcium ions (Ca2+). However, it is unknown whether the TRPV1 channels are coupled with the BK channels. Using patch-clamp recording combined with an infrared laser device, we found that BK channels could be activated at 0 mV by a Ca2+ influx through TRPV1 channels not the intracellular calcium stores in submilliseconds. The local calcium concentration around BK is estimated over 10 μM. The crosstalk could be affected by 10 mM BAPTA, whereas 5 mM EGTA was ineffectual. Fluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation experiments also showed that BK and TRPV1 were able to form a TRPV1-BK complex. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the TRPV1-BK coupling also occurs in dosal root ganglion (DRG) cells, which plays a critical physiological role in regulating the “pain” signal transduction pathway in the peripheral nervous system. 相似文献

We have studied the role of Ca2+ entry via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels in long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Repeated depolarizing pulses, in the presence of the NMDA receptor antagonist D-APV and without synaptic stimulation, resulted in a potentiation of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) or currents (EPSCs). This depolarization-induced potentiation was augmented in raised extracellular Ca2+ and was blocked by intracellular BAPTA, a Ca2+ chelator, or by nifedipine, a Ca2+ channel antagonist, indicating that the effect was mediated by Ca2+ entry via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels. Although the peak potentiation could be as large as 3-fold, the EPSP(C)s decayed back to baseline values within approximately 30 min. However, synaptic activation paired with depolarizing pulses in the presence of D-APV converted the transient potentiation into a sustained form. These results indicate that a rise in postsynaptic Ca2+ via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels can transiently potentiate synaptic transmission, but that another factor associated with synaptic transmission may be required for LTP. 相似文献

Covalent modification of the specific cysteine residue(s) by oxidative stress robustly potentiates transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and sensitizes nociception. Here we provide biochemical evidence of dimerization of TRPV1 subunits upon exposure to phenylarsine oxide and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), two chemical surrogates of oxidative stress. A disulfide bond formed between apposing cysteines ligates two C termini, serving as the structural basis of channel sensitization by oxidative covalent C-terminal modification. Systematic cysteine scanning of the C terminus of a cysteineless TRPV1 channel revealed a critical region within which any cysteine introduced phenylarsine oxide activation to mutant TRPV1. Oxidative sensitization persisted even when this region is substituted with a random peptide linker containing a single cysteine. So did insertion of this region to TRPV3, a homolog lacking the corresponding region and resistant to oxidative challenge. These results suggest that the non-conserved linker in the TRPV1 C terminus senses environmental oxidative stress and adjusts channel activity during cumulative oxidative damage by lowering the activation threshold of gating elements shared by TRPV channels. 相似文献

TRPV5, a member of transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels, plays a crucial role in epithelial calcium transport in the kidney. This channel has a high selectivity for Ca(2+) and is tightly regulated by intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations. Recently it was shown that the molecular basis of deafness in varitint-waddler mouse is the result of hair cell death caused by the constitutive activity of transient receptor potential mucolipin 3 (TRPML3) channel carrying a helix breaking mutation, A419P, at the intracellular proximity of the fifth transmembrane domain (TM5). This mutation significantly elevates intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and causes rapid cell death. Here we show that substituting the equivalent location in TRPV5, the M490, to proline significantly modulates Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of TRPV5. The single channel conductance, time constant of inactivation (τ) and half maximal inhibition constant (IC(50)) of TRPV5(M490P) were increased compared to TRPV5(WT). Moreover TRPV5(M490P) showed lower Ca(2+) permeability. Out of different point mutations created to characterize the importance of M490 in Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation, only TRPV5(M490P)-expressing cells showed apoptosis and extremely altered Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation. In conclusion, the TRPV5 channel is susceptible for helix breaking mutations and the proximal intracellular region of TM5 of this channel plays an important role in Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation. 相似文献

The epithelial Ca(2+) channel TRPV5 plays an essential role in transcellular Ca(2+) transport and is one of the most Ca(2+)-selective members of the transient receptor potential superfamily. Regulation of the abundance of TRPV5 at the cell surface is critical in body Ca(2+) homeostasis. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying TRPV5 endo- and exocytosis. Here, we show that TRPV5 is constitutively internalized in a dynamin- and clathrin-dependent manner. Internalized TRPV5 first appears in small vesicular structures and then localizes to perinuclear structures positive for Rab11a. TRPV5 has a half-life of more than 8 h and is stable even after internalization from the cell surface for more than 3 h. Disruption of cell surface delivery of newly synthesized TRPV5 by brefeldin A does not reduce TRPV5-mediated Ca(2+) influx in cells, suggesting the presence of a stable intracellular pool of the channel capable of recycling back to the surface. Furthermore, the endocytic recycling kinetics is decreased upon treatment with Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM, indicating that the channel's trafficking pathways are dynamically controlled by Ca(2+). 相似文献

Transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1) is a nonselective cation channel expressed in nociceptors and activated by capsaicin. TRPV1 detects diverse stimuli, including acid, heat, and endogenous vanilloids, and functions as a molecular integrator of pain perception. Herein we demonstrate a novel regulatory role of extracellular Na(+) ([Na(+)](o)) on TRPV1 function. In human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing porcine TRPV1, low [Na(+)](o) evoked increases of [Ca(2+)](i) that were suppressed by TRPV1 antagonists and facilitated responses to capsaicin, protons, heat, and an endovanilloid. [Na(+)](o) removal simultaneously elicited a [Ca(2+)](i) increase and outward-rectified current with a reversal potential similar to those of capsaicin. Neutralization of the two acidic residues which confer the proton sensitivity to TRPV1 resulted in a reduction of low [Na(+)](o)-induced responses. In primary culture of porcine sensory neurons, the removal of [Na(+)](o) produced a [Ca(2+)](i) increase and current responses only in the cells responding to capsaicin. Low [Na(+)](o) evoked a [Ca(2+)](i) increase in sensory neurons of wild type mice, but not TRPV1-null mice, and in human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing human TRPV1. The present results suggest that [Na(+)](o) negatively regulates the gating and polymodal sensitization of the TRPV1 channel. [Na(+)](o) surrounding several proton-sensitive sites on the extracellular side of the pore-forming loop of the TRPV1 channel may play an important role as a brake to suppress the excessive activity of this channel under physiological conditions. 相似文献

2-Aminoethyl diphenylborinate was recently identified as a chemical activator of TRPV1, TRPV2, and TRPV3, three heat-gated members of the transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) ion channel subfamily. Here we demonstrated that two structurally related compounds, diphenylboronic anhydride (DPBA) and diphenyltetrahydrofuran (DPTHF), can also modulate the activity of these channels. DPBA acted as a TRPV3 agonist, whereas DPTHF exhibited prominent antagonistic activity. However, all three diphenyl-containing compounds promoted some degree of channel activation or potentiation, followed by channel block. Strong TRPV3 activation by DPBA often leads to the appearance of a secondary, enhanced, current phase. A similar biphasic response was observed during TRPV3 heat stimulation; an initial, gradually sensitizing phase (I(1)) was followed by an abrupt transition to a secondary phase (I(2)). I(2) was characterized by larger current amplitude, loss of outward rectification, and alterations in the following properties: permeability among cations; ruthenium red and DPTHF sensitivity; temperature dependence; and voltage-dependent gating. The I(1) to I(2) transition depended strongly on TRPV3 current density. Removal of extracellular divalent cations resulted in heat-evoked currents resembling I(2), whereas mutation of a putative Ca(2+)-binding residue in the pore loop domain, aspartate 641, facilitated detection of the I(1) to I(2) transition, suggesting that the conversion to I(2) resulted from the agonist- and time-dependent loss of divalent cationic inhibition. Primary keratinocytes overexpressing exogenous TRPV3 also exhibited biphasic agonist-evoked currents. Thus, strong activation by either chemical or thermal stimuli led to biphasic TRPV3 signaling behavior that may be associated with changes in the channel pore. 相似文献

Mechanical and osmotic sensitivity of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel depends on phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation and the subsequent production of the arachidonic acid metabolites, epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET). We show that both high viscous loading and hypotonicity stimuli in native ciliated epithelial cells use PLA2-EET as the primary pathway to activate TRPV4. Under conditions of low PLA2 activation, both also use extracellular ATP-mediated activation of phospholipase C (PLC)-inositol trisphosphate (IP3) signaling to support TRPV4 gating. IP3, without being an agonist itself, sensitizes TRPV4 to EET in epithelial ciliated cells and cells heterologously expressing TRPV4, an effect inhibited by the IP3 receptor antagonist xestospongin C. Coimmunoprecipitation assays indicated a physical interaction between TRPV4 and IP3 receptor 3. Collectively, our study suggests a functional coupling between plasma membrane TRPV4 channels and intracellular store Ca2+ channels required to initiate and maintain the oscillatory Ca2+ signal triggered by high viscosity and hypotonic stimuli that do not reach a threshold level of PLA2 activation. 相似文献

Co-activation of P2Y2 Receptor and TRPV Channel by ATP: Implications for ATP Induced Pain 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
1. Extracellular ATP is recognized as a peripheral modulator of pain. Activation of ionotropic P2X receptors in sensory neurons has been implicated in induction of pain, whereas metabotropic P2Y receptors in potentiation of pain induced by chemical or physical stimuli via capsaicin sensitive TRPV1 channel. Here we report that P2Y2 receptor activation by ATP can activate the TRPV1 channel in absence of any other stimuli. 2. ATP-induced Ca2+ signaling was studied in Neuro2a cells. ATP evoked release of intracellular Ca2+ from ER and Ca2+ influx through a fast inactivating channel. The Ca2+ response was induced by P2Y receptor agonists in the order of potency ATP>or=UTP>or=ATPgammaS>ADP and was inhibited by suramin and PPADS. The P2X receptor agonist alpha beta methyl ATP was ineffective. 3. The Ca2+ influx was blocked by ruthenium red, an inhibitor of TRPV1 channel. Capsaicin, the most potent activator of the TRPV1 channel, evoked a fast inactivating Ca2+ transient suggesting the presence of endogenous TRPV1 channels in Neuro2a cells. NMS and PDBu, repressors of IP3 formation, drastically inhibited both the components of Ca2+ response. 4. Our data show co-activation of the P2Y2 receptor and capsaicin sensitive TRPV1 channel by ATP. Such functional interaction between endogenous P2Y2 receptor and TRPV1 channels could explain the ATP-induced pain. 相似文献

Cellular or chemical activators for most transient receptor potential channels of the vanilloid subfamily (TRPV) have been identified in recent years. A remarkable exception to this is TRPV2, for which cellular events leading to channel activation are still a matter of debate. Diverse stimuli such as extreme heat or phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3-kinase) regulated membrane insertion have been shown to promote TRPV2 channel activity. However, some of these results have proved difficult to reproduce and may underlie different gating mechanisms depending on the cell type in which TRPV2 channels are expressed. Here, we show that expression of recombinant TRPV2 can induce cytotoxicity that is directly related to channel activity since it can be prevented by introducing a charge substitution in the pore-forming domain of the channel, or by reducing extracellular calcium. In stably transfected cells, TRPV2 expression results in an outwardly rectifying current that can be recorded at all potentials, and in an increase of resting intracellular calcium concentration that can be partly prevented by serum starvation. Using cytotoxicity as a read-out of channel activity and direct measurements of cell surface expression of TRPV2, we show that inhibition of the PI3-kinase decreases TRPV2 channel activity but does not affect the trafficking of the channel to the plasma membrane. It is concluded that PI3-kinase induces or modulates the activity of recombinant TRPV2 channels; in contrast to the previously proposed mechanism, activation of TRPV2 channels by PI3-kinase is not due to channel translocation to the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Diperoxovanadate (DPV), a potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases and activator of tyrosine kinases, alters endothelial barrier function via signaling pathways that are incompletely understood. One potential pathway is Src kinase-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins such as cortactin that regulate endothelial cell (EC) cytoskeleton assembly. As DPV modulates endothelial cell signaling via protein tyrosine phosphorylation, we determined the role of DPV-induced intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in activation of Src kinase, cytoskeletal remodeling, and barrier function in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAECs). DPV in a dose- and time-dependent fashion increased [Ca2+]i, which was partially blocked by the calcium channel blockers nifedipine and Gd3+. Treatment of cells with thapsigargin released Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, and subsequent addition of DPV caused no further change in [Ca2+]i. These data suggest that DPV-induced [Ca2+]i includes Ca release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca influx through store-operated calcium entry. Furthermore, DPV induced an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation, phosphorylation of Src and cortactin, actin remodeling, and altered transendothelial electrical resistance in BPAECs. These DPV-mediated effects were significantly attenuated by BAPTA (25 microM), a chelator of [Ca2+]i. Immunofluorescence studies reveal that the DPV-mediated colocalization of cortactin with peripheral actin was also prevented by BAPTA. Chelation of extracellular Ca2+ by EGTA had marginal effects on DPV-induced phosphorylation of Src and cortactin; actin stress fibers formation, however, affected EC barrier function. These data suggest that DPV-induced changes in [Ca2+]i regulate endothelial barrier function using signaling pathways that involve Src and cytoskeleton remodeling. 相似文献

Whole-cell functional assays are often used for high-throughput screening (HTS) of molecular targets such as ion channels and G-protein-coupled receptors. A common method for assaying the activity of these membrane proteins is to measure the change in intracellular calcium concentration upon receptor stimulation. These changes in calcium concentration are typically transient and therefore not readily adapted to high-density plate formats used in HTS instruments. We have demonstrated that an intracellular calcium chelator, BAPTA, was able to delay by 5- to 20-fold and extend for several minutes the observed calcium signals initiated by extracellular calcium influx or release of calcium from intracellular stores. As examples, we used cells expressing a calcium-permeable ion channel, vanilloid receptor type 1 (the capsaicin receptor), and two G-protein-coupled receptors. These receptor-mediated increases in intracellular calcium concentration were measured by both fluorescence-based and luminescence-based detection methods. The use of an intracellular calcium chelator to delay calcium signaling should have wide application since it allows the measurement of the functional activity of any cellular receptor that signals through calcium. With this procedure, calcium fluorescence and luminescence whole-cell functional assays may be performed with standard laboratory pipetting and detection systems. 相似文献

Ca2+-dependent potentiation of the nonselective cation channel TRPV4 is mediated by a C-terminal calmodulin binding site 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Most Ca2+-permeable ion channels are inhibited by increases in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), thus preventing potentially deleterious rises in [Ca2+]i. In this study, we demonstrate that currents through the osmo-, heat- and phorbol ester-sensitive, Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel TRPV4 are potentiated by intracellular Ca2+. Spontaneous TRPV4 currents and currents stimulated by hypotonic solutions or phorbol esters were reduced strongly at all potentials in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The other permeant divalent cations Ba2+ and Sr2+ were less effective than Ca2+ in supporting channel activity. An intracellular site of Ca2+ action was supported by the parallel decrease in spontaneous currents and [Ca2+]i on removal of extracellular Ca2+ and the ability of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores to restore TRPV4 activity in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. During TRPV4 activation by hypotonic solutions or phorbol esters, Ca2+ entry through the channel increased the rate and extent of channel activation. Currents were also potentiated by ionomycin in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Ca2+-dependent potentiation of TRPV4 was often followed by inhibition. By mutagenesis, we localized the structural determinant of Ca2+-dependent potentiation to an intracellular, C-terminal calmodulin binding domain. This domain binds calmodulin in a Ca2+-dependent manner. TRPV4 mutants that did not bind calmodulin lacked Ca2+-dependent potentiation. We conclude that TRPV4 activity is tightly controlled by intracellular Ca2+. Ca2+ entry increases both the rate and extent of channel activation by a calmodulin-dependent mechanism. Excessive increases in [Ca2+]i via TRPV4 are prevented by a Ca2+-dependent negative feedback mechanism. 相似文献

We found when L-type calcium current (ICa-L) was recorded with the perforated patch-clamp method in rat ventricular myocytes that bath application of phenylephrine (with propranolol) evoked a biphasic response characterized by an initial transient suppression followed by a sustained potentiation. The transient suppression occurred 30-60 s after phenylephrine perfusion and reached peak inhibition at approximately 2 min. The biphasic modulation of ICa-L was also elicited by methoxamine, and the effects of phenylephrine were blocked by prazosin, indicating that the responses were mediated through alpha1-adrenoceptors. Pretreatment of cells with H7 (100 micromol/L), a broad-spectrum protein kinase inhibitor that inhibits both protein kinase C and A, eliminated potentiation but did not affect transient suppression. The transient suppression occurred concurrently with the acceleration of the fast component of ICa-L inactivation. Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores by ryanodine plus caffeine or thapsigargin eliminated the transient suppression. When ICa-L was recorded with whole-cell patch-clamp and with 0.05 mmol/L EGTA in the pipette solution to allow intracellular Ca2+ to fluctuate, phenylephrine evoked a transient suppression as in the perforated patch recordings. Heparin, a specific blocker of IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) receptors, eliminated the phenylephrine-induced transient suppression of ICa-L when added to the pipette solution. Intensive chelation of intracellular Ca2+ by 5 mmol/L BAPTA (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid) in the pipette solution also eliminated the phenylephrine-induced transient suppression of ICa-L. We conclude that transient increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) caused by Ca2+ release from intracellular stores underlies the transient suppression of ICa-L, whereas the potentiation of ICa-L is a result of activation of protein kinases. 相似文献

Cell cycle in various types of cells and in early embryos is often accompanied by transient changes in the concentration of free cytosolic calcium. In the present study, using fluorescent indicator fura-2, we demonstrate that Ca(2+) oscillates cyclically with an amplitude of about 100 nM and a period of mitotic cycle in cell-free Xenopus egg cycling extracts. It peaks in early metaphase just preceding mitotic reactivation of Cdc2 kinase and MAPK and reaches a minimum in interphase. The source of Ca(2+) in the extracts is a particulate fraction containing egg intracellular Ca(2+) stores, since the addition of a calcium-mobilizing second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), induced a transient increase in Ca(2+). The inclusion of heparin, an IP3 receptor antagonist, or ultrafiltration of the extracts prevented Ca(2+)-releasing activity of IP3. The depletion of Ca(2+) in the extracts by the calcium chelator BAPTA resulted in the blockade of cell cycle at different stages, depending on the time of drug administration. The addition of BAPTA late in interphase blocked cell cycle at mitotic entry in prophase, whereas its application in anaphase or telophase blocked the extracts in early interphase. BAPTA administration in metaphase before transition to anaphase brought about a metaphase-like arrest in the cycling extracts. Inhibition of IP3-induced calcium release by heparin also arrested cell cycle progression in the cycling extracts. 相似文献
