Seeing is believing! Imaging Ca2+-signalling events in living cells
Ever since it was shown that maintenance of muscle contraction required the presence of extracellular Ca(2+), evidence has accumulated that Ca(2+) plays a crucial role in excitation-contraction coupling. This culminated in the use of the photoprotein aequorin to demonstrate that [Ca(2+)](i) increased after depolarization but before contraction in barnacle muscle. Green fluorescent protein was e...
متن کاملCa2+signalling in stomatal guard cells.
Ca(2+) is a ubiquitous second messenger in the signal transduction pathway(s) by which stomatal guard cells respond to external stimuli. Increases in guard-cell cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) have been observed in response to stimuli that cause both stomatal opening and closure. In addition, several important components of Ca(2+)-based signalling pathways have been identifi...
متن کاملHistamine-H1-receptor-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, Ca2+ signalling and membrane-potential oscillations in human HeLa carcinoma cells.
In human HeLa carcinoma cells, histamine causes a dose-dependent formation of inositol phosphates, production of diacylglycerol and a transient rise in intracellular [Ca2+]. These responses are completely blocked by the H1-receptor antagonist pyrilamine. In streptolysin-O-permeabilized cells, formation of inositol phosphates by histamine is strongly potentiated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triph...
متن کاملRole of calreticulin in regulating intracellular Ca2+ storage and capacitative Ca2+ entry in HeLa cells.
Calreticulin is a Ca2+ binding protein located primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen of non-excitable cells, where it is considered to be involved mainly in Ca2+ storage and buffering. However, there is increasing evidence to implicate the protein in other facets of Ca2+ signalling. In this study, we sought to establish more clearly the role of the protein in the regulation of intra...
متن کاملOn the dynamics of the microfilament system in HeLa cells
We measured the pools of unpolymerized and filamentous actin in homogenates of HeLa cells made in several different lysis buffers, as well as after treatment of cells with a variety of chemicals or trypsin, and after adenovirus (type 2) infection. This was possible when a series of factors concerning the basic culture conditions were kept constant: e.g., serum type used, serum batch, cell densi...
