Sodium channel, sodium pump, and sodium-calcium exchange activities in synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles.
Two mechanisms of Na+ influx have been observed using synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles purified by density gradient centrifugation from a synaptosomal hypotonic lysate. First, a 5-fold increase in uptake over basal Na+ entry occurs with 50 microM veratridine. The veratridine-dependent Na+ uptake is partially inhibited by 2 microM tetrodotoxin with an apparent time dependency of action (hal...
متن کاملArabidopsis plasma membrane protein crucial for Ca2+ influx and touch sensing in roots.
Plants can sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, like animals. An early mechanism of mechanosensing and response is speculated to be governed by as-yet-unidentified sensory complexes containing a Ca(2+)-permeable, stretch-activated (SA) channel. However, the components or regulators of such complexes are poorly understood at the molecular level in plants. Here, we report the molecular identi...
متن کاملAntisperm antibodies modify plasma membrane functional integrity and inhibit osmosensitive calcium influx in human sperm.
BACKGROUND The hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test evaluates the ability of the functional sperm plasma membrane to stretch following cell swelling when exposed to hypo-osmotic solutions. Sperm samples with low HOS scores show low fertilization and pregnancy rates during assisted reproductive techniques, though data are controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the results of the HOS tes...
متن کاملMitochondrial uncoupling does not influence the stability of the intracellular signal activating plasma membrane calcium channels.
The effects of various concentrations of thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, on calcium homeostasis in lymphoidal T cells (Jurkat) were investigated. Preincubation of these cells suspended in nominally calcium-free medium with 0.1 microM thapsigargin resulted in a complete release of Ca2+ from intracellular calcium stores. When the mediu...
متن کاملSodium fluxes through nonselective cation channels in the plasma membrane of protoplasts from Arabidopsis roots.
The aim of the present work was to characterize Na(+) currents through nonselective cation channels (NSCCs) in protoplasts derived from root cells of Arabidopsis. The procedure of the protoplast isolation was modified to increase the stability of Arabidopsis root protoplasts in low external Ca(2+) by digesting tissue in elevated Ca(2+). Experiments in whole-cell and outside-out modes were carri...
