woman-defined identity: analysis of selected poems of adrienne rich
the current thesis is composed in five chapters in the following fashion: chapter two encompasses the applied framework of the project in details; the methodology of carl gustav jung to explain the process of individuation, the major archetypes and their attributes and his techniques to assess the mind’s strata are all explained. moreover, the austrian psychoanalysts, heinz kohut’s models of a...
300-kD subsynaptic protein copurifies with acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes and is concentrated at neuromuscular synapses
Acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes from the electric organ of Torpedo californica are enriched in the four different subunits of the acetylcholine receptor and in two peripheral membrane proteins at 43 and 300 kD. We produced monoclonal antibodies against the 300-kD protein and have used these antibodies to determine the location of the protein, both in the electric organ and in skeletal mus...
متن کاملSegregation of phosphatidic acid-rich domains in reconstituted acetylcholine receptor membranes.
Purified Acetylcholine Receptor (AcChR) from Torpedo has been reconstituted at low (approximately 1:3500) and high (approximately 1:560) protein to phospholipid molar ratios into vesicles containing egg phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and different dimyristoyl phospholipids (dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidic acid) as probes to explore t...
متن کاملSubcellular localization of creatine kinase in Torpedo electrocytes: association with acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes
Creatine kinase (CK, EC 2.7.3.2) has recently been identified as the intermediate isoelectric point species (pl 6.5-6.8) of the Mr 40,000-43,000 nonreceptor, peripheral v-proteins in Torpedo marmorata acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes (Barrantes, F. J., G. Mieskes, and T. Wallimann, 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 80: 5440-5444). In the present study, this finding is substantiated at the ...
متن کاملNicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the structural basis of neuromuscular transmission: insights from Torpedo postsynaptic membranes
The nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor, at the neuromuscular junction, is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel that has been fine-tuned through evolution to transduce a chemical signal into an electrical signal with maximum efficiency and speed. It is composed from three similar and two identical polypeptide chains, arranged in a ring around a narrow membrane pore. Central to the design of ...
