Plasma Membrane ATPase Activity following Reversible and Irreversible Freezing Injury.
Plasma membrane ATPase has been proposed as a site of functional alteration during early stages of freezing injury. To test this, plasma membrane was purified from Solanum leaflets by a single step partitioning of microsomes in a dextran-polyethylene glycol two phase system. Addition of lysolecithin in the ATPase assay produced up to 10-fold increase in ATPase activity. ATPase activity was spec...
متن کاملStudies on Freezing Injury of Plant Cells: I. Relation between Thermotropic Properties of Isolated Plasma Membrane Vesicles and Freezing Injury.
The thermotropic transition of plasma membrane of Dactylis glomerata was studied by using fluorescence polarization of embedded fluorophore, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. Under the presence of 35% ethylene glycol, reversible thermotropic transitions were observed in isolated plasma membrane vesicles in nearly the same temperature range as the temperature of freezing injury to cells. In liposom...
متن کاملPainful nerve injury increases plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity in axotomized sensory neurons
BACKGROUND The plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) is the principal means by which sensory neurons expel Ca2+ and thereby regulate the concentration of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and the processes controlled by this critical second messenger. We have previously found that painful nerve injury decreases resting cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels and activity-induced cytoplasmic Ca2+ accumulation in axotomized sensory...
متن کاملMeasurement of plasma membrane calcium-calmodulin-dependent ATPase (PMCA) activity.
The plasma membrane calcium-calmodulin-dependent ATPase (PMCA) is a calcium-extruding enzymatic pump that ejects calcium from the cytoplasm to the extracellular compartment. Although in excitable cells such as skeletal and cardiac muscle cells PMCA has been shown to play only a minor role in regulating global intracellular calcium concentration, increasing evidence points to an important role f...
متن کاملPlasma membrane bound Ca2+-ATPase activity in bull sperm.
The acrosome reaction in vertebrate sperm has been shown to be essential for fertilisation [ 11. The process involves fusion and vesiculation of sperm head plasma membranes and the underlying outer acrosomal membrane, resulting in the exocytotic release of acrosomal enzymes. Yanagamachi and Usui have demonstrated that sperm have an absolute requirement for Ca*’ during the acrosome reaction [2]....
