Isolated liver nuclei were extracted 3 times at pH 7.2 with solutions containing either (1) monovalent cations, (2) both mono- and divalent cations, or (3) sucrose solutions containing only divalent cations. The extracted proteins were analysed by two-dimensional acrylamide gel electrophoresis and the ultrastructural alterations of the treated nuclei were examined by electron microscopy. The solutions containing Na+ or K+ monovalent and Ca2+ and Mg2+ divalent ions extracted the same amount (18–22 %) of the nuclear proteins. The two-dimensional gel electrophoretic patterns of these extracts were nearly identical and the structures of the nuclear components were well preserved even after 3 times repeated extractions. The solution containing only Na+ extracted less protein (14–15 %) than the solutions containing both mono- and divalent cations. Extraction with isotonic NaCl solution altered the nuclear and nucleolar morphology; unlike the other solutions employed, this solution extracted some DNA and histones. The isotonic sucrose solution containing only divalent cations extracted less protein than the other solutions (9–11 %) and produced marked condensation of the chromatin. These analytical and electron microscopic studies showed that mono- and divalent cations play a role in structural organization of chromatin. 相似文献

The effects of divalent cations, in particular Ca2+ and Mg2+, on glucose uptake by rat isolated fat cells in the presence and absence of insulin have been studied. EDTA (disodium salt) was used to deplete the bovine serum albumin present in the incubation medium of endogenous divalent cations prior to incubation with the cells, but was not present in the incubation medium during the incubation of the cells. The removal of Ca2+ and Mg2+ from the incubation medium did not affect the basal glucose uptake, but abolished the ability of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake by the cells. Addition of 25 microM MgCl2 or CaCl2 to the incubation medium restored a significant insulin stimulation, and this stimulation was maximal when 0.1 mM MgCl2 or CaCl2 had been added. SrCl2 and BaCl2 were also effective in restoring the insulin stimulation, but did not substitute fully for Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the incubation medium. Possible explanation for these observations are discussed. 相似文献

The uptake of Ca2+ and Sr2+ by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is energy dependent, and shows a deviation from simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics. A model is discussed that takes into account the effect of the surface potential and the membrane potential on uptake kinetics. The rate of Ca2+ and Sr2+ uptake is influenced by the cell pH and by the medium pH. The inhibition of uptake at low concentration of Ca2+ and Sr2+ at low pH may be explained by a decrease of the surface potential. The inhibition of Ca2+ and Sr2+ uptake by monovalent cations is independent of the divalent cation concentration. The inhibition shows saturation kinetics, and the concentration of monovalent cation at which half-maximal inhibition is observed, is equal to the affinity constant of this ion for the monovalent cation transport system. The inhibition of divalent cation uptake by monovalent cations appears to be related to depolarization of the cell membrane. Phosphate exerts a dual effect on uptake of divalent cations: and initial inhibition and a secondary stimulation. The inhibition shows saturation kinetics, and the inhibition constant is equal to the affinity constant of phosphate for its transport mechanism. The secondary stimulation can only partly be explained by a decrease of the cell pH, suggesting interaction of intracellular phosphate, or a phosphorylated compound, with the translocation mechanism. 相似文献

Nuclear matrix, hnRNA, and snRNA in friend erythroleukemia nuclei depleted of chromatin by low ionic strength EDTA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A novel and rapid procedure is described for the preparation of chromatin-depleted nuclei (CDN) from Friend erythroleukemia cells under conditions that avoid the use of high salt concentrations. By this procedure isolated nuclei that had previously been incubated with DNase I to partially digest DNA were washed twice in 2 mM EDTA to extract the chromatin. The resulting structures contained 1% of DNA, 65% of total RNA, 60-80% of hnRNA, 74% of snRNA, 29% of protein, and 2% of histones contained in isolated nuclei. Electron microscopy revealed intact, spherical structures similar in diameter to isolated nuclei and consisting of dense networks of fibrils 50-100 A thick surrounded by distinct nuclear laminae. Although no morphological evidence was found for residual nucleoli, C23, a nucleolus-specific phospho-protein, remained centrally localized in CDN, while Sm antigen specific for snRNPs was diffusely localized but absent from central regions. Addition of 2 mM MgCl2 to CDN resulted in the reformation of morphologically distinguishable residual nucleoli. These studies suggest that nucleolar morphology is, in part, dependent upon divalent cations and components unique to the nucleolar matrix and demonstrate that little randomization of nuclear and nucleolar matrix fibrils occurs during CDN isolation in the absence of divalent cations. 相似文献

The influence of membrane surface charge on cation uptake was investigated in protoplasts prepared from roots of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.). Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that a fluorescent trivalent cation accumulated to very high concentrations at the surface of the protoplasts when they were incubated in medium containing low concentrations of Ca or other cations, but that this accumulation could be completely reversed by suppression of membrane surface negativity by high cation concentrations. Influx of 63Ni was strongly reduced by a range of divalent cations. Increasing the Ca concentration in the medium from 25 microM to 10 mM inhibited 63Ni influx by more than 85%. 63Ni influx was also inhibited by 85% by reducing the pH from 7 to 4. Computation of the activity of Ni at the membrane surface under the various treatment conditions showed that Ni uptake was closely correlated with its activity at the membrane surface but not with its concentration in the bulk medium. It was concluded that the effects on Ni uptake of addition of monovalent, divalent and trivalent cations, and of variations in pH are all consistent with the proposition that the activity of Ni at the membrane surface is the major determinant of the rate of Ni influx into mung bean protoplasts. It is proposed that the surface charge on the plasma membrane will influence the membrane transport of most charged molecules into cells. 相似文献

Abstract: Nations were found to inhibit the uptake of L-tryptophan into synaptosomes with a shallow dose-response curve. Almost maximal inhibition was obtained with 10 mM-Na+ . The divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+ were shown to be responsible for the increased uptake of L-tryptophan in the absence of Na+ ions. Other divalent cations also promoted tryptophan uptake under this condition (Ca2+ < Mg2+ < Mn2+ < Fe2+ < Zn2+ < Cu2+ ). It was concluded that monovalent chelate complexes were responsible for this enhancing effect. The measured L-tryptophan uptake was the net product of membrane bound and unbound tryptophan. Both bound and unbound tryptophan were increased in the presence of divalent cations. If no divalent cations were added to the incubation medium, Na+ ions decreased the unbound tryptophan but were without effect on bound tryptophan. Under these circumstances D-tryptophan had no effect on binding of the L-isomer and affected the transport of 1.-tryptophan only at very high does (100 x conc. L-tryptophan). These results suggest that I -tryptophan binds to a stereospecific transport carrier located in the synaptosomal membrane and that Na+ ions prevent the translocation of this carrier amino acid complex from the outer to the inner site of the neuronal membrane. 相似文献

The organization of rat liver nuclei in vitro depends on the ionic milieu. Turbidity measurements of nuclear suspensions in the presence of varying concentrations of divalent cations have been correlated with nuclear ultrastructure. The concentration of MgCl2 (2 mM) at which turbidity of nuclear suspensions is maximal and chromatin condensation appears most extensive is the same concentration that reportedly (Gottesfeld et al., 1974, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 71:2193-2197) precipitates "inactive" chromatin. Thus, a mechanism is suggested by which chromatin activity and ultrastructural organization within the nucleus may be mediated. The nuclear organizational changes attendant upon the decrease in divalent cation concentration were not entirely reversible. 相似文献

A protein phosphatase activity has been demonstrated in nuclei of rat ventral prostate utilizing 32P-labelled phosvitin as a model acidic phosphoprotein substrate. This phosphoprotein phosphatase has a pH optimum of 6.7, is unaffected by the sulphydryl protecting agent 2-mercaptoethanol, and requires a divalent cation for maximal activity. Of the various divalent cations tested, Mg2+ is the most effective in reactivating the EDTA-inhibited enzyme. The phosphatase is inhibited by sodium flouride, sodium oxalate, N-ethylmaleimide, ATP and ADP but is relatively insensitive to ammonium molybdate. Increased ionic strength of the reaction medium also causes a reduction in the enzyme activity, e.g., by 48% at 200 mM sodium chloride. The activity of the acidic phosphoprotein phosphatase did not change significantly at 48 h or 96 h post-orchiectomy when expressed per unit of nuclear protein. However, it is reduced by approx. 30% at these times after castration if based on DNA content. The decline in activity per nucleus reflects the decrease in the realtive nuclear protein content observed at 48 h or 96 h post-orchiectomy. This suggests that the decline in the phosphorylation of prostatic nuclear acidic proteins which occurs upon androgen withdrawal is not due to increased nuclear phosphatase activity. 相似文献

RNA polymerase I was isolated from parsley cells grown in suspension culture and from soybean hypocotyls. Kinetic studies of the enzyme revealed that RNA polymerase I is an allosteric regulated enzyme. The enzyme activity was influenced by nucleoside triphosphates (NTP) and divalent cations. NTP exceeding a 1:1 ratio of these two components acted as allosteric inhibitors, contrary to free divalent cations, which had promotive effects on the RNA polymerase I. Furthermore, isolated nuclei from parsley exhibited a powerful nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase) activity. Contrary to RNA polymerase I, this enzyme was stimulated by NTP exceeding the 1:1 ratio of NTP and divalent cations. Free divalent cations had an inhibitory effect. Assuming that a causal connection of these two processes does exist, a possible role of this NTPase would be the control of NTP pools in relation to divalent cations and thus regulating RNA synthesis. 相似文献

Requirement of Extracellular Calcium Ions for the Early Fertilization Events in the Medaka Egg 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The requirement for calcium and the change in calcium content in eggs of Oryzias iatipes during the cortical reaction and sperm penetration were examined. Naked eggs failed to exhibit the cortical reaction upon insemination under Ca Mg-free conditions. These eggs exhibited the cortical reaction by reinsemination in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ . The effect of extracellular Ca2+ on sperm penetration could be replaced by one of several divalent cations in the external medium. Unlike the cortical reaction, sperm penetration failed to be induced by microinjection to increase intracellular Ca2+ . Verapamil significantly reduced the action of extracellular Ca2+ or Ba2+ of divalent cations examined in fertilization, while TEA and TTX had no effect on fertilization in the presence of these cations. No 45 Ca uptake into the egg proper was recognized before completion of the cortical reaction. These observations suggest that extracellular divalent cations are indispensable for sperm stimulation of the egg and its penetration into the egg, for which an influx of Ca2+ from the external medium is not required. 相似文献

The effect of divalent cations on K and CI accumulation by slicesof beetroot tissue has been studied. It is shown that CI uptakefrom solutions of (K+Ca) CI can be greater than from KCI solutionsof the same CI concentration. It is considered that CI uptakelimits K uptake by beet cells, and that Ca acts to increasethe CI uptake. As a mechanism for this stimulation of CI uptake,it is suggested that uptake of the anion is limited by diffusionthrough a negatively charged surface or membrane, which willbe more permeable to anions when divalent cations, rather thanunivalent cations, are the counterions. 相似文献

A protein-tyrosine kinase in the nuclear matrix from rat liver 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Protein kinase activity in isolated nuclei from rat liver was detected in situ after electrophoresis on SDS-polyacrylamide gel containing no exogenous protein substrate. After renaturation of polypeptides, the gel was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and divalent cations. Among five major protein kinase activities observed as radioactive bands by autoradiography, a protein kinase autophosphorylating on tyrosine (Mr 30,000) was identified and found to be localized in the nucleus, particularly in the nuclear matrix. The intensity of the activity band representing the level of the protein-tyrosine kinase in rat liver nuclei did not appreciably change during 3-24 h after partial hepatectomy. 相似文献

Solubilized membrane proteins from HL-60 cells were separated by two-step affinity chromatography. Proteins eluted with MgCl2 in the first heparin-gel were applied to the second heparin-gel and eluted with CaCl2. The eluted proteins were analysed and purified by electrophoresis. N-terminal amino acid sequences of eight proteins on the characteristic bands were determined. Homology search for the sequences indicated that three microsomal proteins, two nuclear proteins and a glycolytic enzyme were eluted with divalent cations, whereas a nuclear ribonucleoprotein and a membrane-cytoskelton linker protein were not dissociated with divalent cations, but with 2 M NaCl. Heparin affinity chromatography combined with differential elution with divalent cations can be a useful method for separation of membrane proteins. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40) nucleoprotein complexes extracted from nuclei of infected monkey cells (CV1) were precipitated with Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+ divalent cations. Most of the viral chromatin but only a fraction of the proteins in the crude nuclear extracts were recovered after precipitation with 10 mM MgCl2. At this optimal concentration, DNA topoisomerase activity (nicking closing enzyme) coprecipitated with the SV40 nucleoprotein complexes. 相似文献

Chlorotetracycline (CTC) shows a strongly enhanced fluorescence upon addition of mitochondria isolated from Jerusalem artichoke ( Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers in a low-cation medium. This indicates the presence of membrane-bound divalent cations. The chelation by CTC of the membrane-bound divalent cations does not affect the oxidation of exogenous NADH significantly. The removal of the bound divalent cations using ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and EDTA causes an 80% decrease in CTC fluorescence. Titration of CTC fluorescence (a direct measure of bound divalent cations) and 9-aminoacridine fluorescence (a measure of surface potential) with EGTA and EDTA gives similar curves, although CTC fluorescence responds more slowly to the addition of chelators. The same bound divalent cations appear to be monitored by CTC fluorescence or by 9-aminoacridine fluorescence. 相似文献

The effect of Cd2+ poisoning of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on 45Ca, 109Cd and [14C]tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) uptake and cell pH was examined. At Cd2+ concentrations that produced substantial K+ efflux the rates of uptake of 45Ca, 109Cd and [14C]TPP increased progressively during incubation of the cells with Cd2+, and the cell pH was lowered concomitantly. The initial rates of uptake of the divalent cations and of TPP were increased in cells pre-loaded with Cd2+, which shows that stimulation of the ion fluxes was exerted by the Cd2+ that accumulated in the cells. The distribution ratio of TPP between cells and medium, however, was decreased by Cd2+. Although hyperpolarization of the cell membrane by Cd2+ cannot be excluded, it is argued that Cd2+ primarily stimulated divalent cation uptake by increasing the cation permeability of the cell membrane allowing the cations to enter the cells more easily. 相似文献

Slices of corn scutellum were used to study amino acid uptake, a natural function of this tissue. The uptake of glutamine was found to be inhibited by several monovalent cations. The accompanying anion did not affect the inhibition. Divalent cations stimulated glutamine uptake, particularly at high glutamine concentrations. The inhibition by monovalent cations was reversed by divalent cations. 相似文献
