Cytochalasin B and Pigment Granule Translocation
The redistribution of melanin granules within dermal and epidermal melanocytes of the frog is responsible for changes in skin color . Surviving frog skin can be lightened and darkened by many different compounds (I). When the granules are dispersed into the branched processes of individual melanocytes, the skin appears dark . When melanin granules are aggregated in the perikaryon, the melanocyt...
متن کاملCytochalasin B
Cytochalasin B competitively inhibits the transport of uridine and thymidine by Novikoff rat hepatoma cells growing in suspension culture with apparent K(i)'s of 2 and 6 microM, respectively, but has no effect on the intracellular phosphorylation of the nucleosides. Choline transport is not affected by cytochalasin B. Results from pulse-chase experiments indicate that cytochalasin B has no dire...
متن کاملCytochalasin B
Cytochalasin B, a mold metabolite, has been shown to inhibit cytokinesis and motility (3), morphogenie development (18), endocytosis (5), and the transport of sugars (8-10, 12). I t has also been demonstrated that this drug inhibits the stimuatcd elaboration of extracellular substances from glands-the release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland after stimulation by thyroid-stimulating hormone (...
متن کاملCortical granule translocation
Eggs of most animal species are fertilized by a single sperm and fusion of these two cells is essential for the activation of the developmental program of the zygote. Cases in which multiple sperm fertilize an egg, a condition known as polyspermy, the supernumerary paternal centrioles and chromosomes usually create aberrant cell divisions that result in death. Thus, eggs have evolved mechanisms...
متن کاملActin-dependent pigment granule transport in retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Since diffusion of particles as large as vesicles or organelles is constrained by the high viscosity of cytoplasm, directed translocation of these particles from one cytoplasmic site to another must be achieved by cytoskeletal intervention. In most cases, this is achieved by attaching the particle to a molecular motor which then navigates along a microtubule or an actin filament track (Fath and...
