Isolation of a cholinergic proteolipid receptor from electric tissue.
A proteolipid protein having a high affinity for methyl (14)C-hexamethonium, (3)H-p-(trimethylammonium)-benzene diazonium fluoroborate, and (acetyl-1-(14)C)choline chloride was isolated and purified from the electric tissue of Torpedo marmorata and Electrophorus electricus. At variance with the "receptor proteolipid" from the brain the one from electric tissue apparently does not bind atropine ...
متن کاملIsolation of pure cholinergic nerve endings from Torpedo electric organ. Evaluation of their metabolic properties
Pure cholinergic nerve endings (synaptosomes) were isolated from the electric organ of Torpedo by a rapid procedure. These synaptosomes are approximately 3 micron in diameter. They contain an occasional mitochondrion, numerous synaptic vesicles, and sometimes an active zone is observed. No postynaptic membrane attachment is found. This nerve ending fraction is extremely pure as shown by morphol...
متن کاملcDNA isolation of Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein from cholinergic nerve terminals of the electric organ of the electric ray.
Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a transmembrane protein containing three phosphorylation sites in its cytoplasmic domain. In the present study, we isolated cDNA of APP from electric ray electric lobe (elAPP). This APP (elAPP699) consists of 699 amino acids, contains the beta-amyloid domain and has 80.7% similarity with the human APP695 isoform. The cytoplasmic domain, including t...

that of bioassay methods, and the technique is relatively quick and simple, such that 40 samples can be extracted and assayed in 2 days. A frequent difficulty was interference by eserine, which, being a tertiary amine, was extracted with acetylcholine and subsequently inhibited acetylcholinesterase during the assay. This problem was surmounted by increasing the concentration of acetylcholineste...
متن کاملCholinergic Receptor Sensitivity Following Pharmacological Modulation of the Immune System
Objective. To study the effect of immunomodulators on learning and memory and on cholinergic receptor sensitivity. Methods. Animals were initially treated for a period of 8 days with cyclosporine/levamisole/saline. They were then subjected to passive avoidance training and 48 hrs later, the retention test for the passive avoidance task was conducted. Twenty-four hours after the retention tests ...
