The Voltage-Dependent, Slow Inward Current Induced Neuropeptide FMRFamide in Ap/ysia Neuron RI 4
The effects of the peptide FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-PheNH,) on the soma of neuron R14 in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica and A. brasiliana were characterized. Pressure-ejected FMRFamide caused 3 types of responses, (1) a fast outward current (duration, ~30 set), (2) a fast inward current (duration, ~20 set), and (3) a slow inward current (peak at 0.5-l min; duration, 2-3 min). The s...
متن کاملInward rectification in response to FMRFamide in Aplysia neuron L2: summation with transient K current.
The response of Aplysia abdominal ganglion neuron L2 to the molluscan neuroactive peptide Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 (FMRFamide) was studied in voltage-clamp experiments. In all of the experiments, focal application of the peptide to the soma activated an inward rectifier current and reduced the apparent amplitude of the transient K current, IA. In a few cells, Na and K currents were activated in addi...
متن کاملEgg-laying hormone of Aplysia induces a voltage-dependent slow inward current carried by Na+ in an identified motoneuron.
This report presents studies on ionic currents in Aplysia motoneuron B16 that are modulated by the neuropeptide egg-laying hormone (ELH) of Aplysia. ELH induces an inward current that persists in the presence of the peptide and that decays slowly after ELH is removed from the bath. The effect is not due to a decrease in the delayed potassium current, the calcium-activated potassium current, or ...
متن کاملProteolytic processing of a peptide precursor in Aplysia neuron R14.
The large neurons of the mollusc Aplysia are useful for studying the biogenesis of neuropeptides in single cells. Neuron R14 in the abdominal ganglion synthesizes large quantities of a 10-kDa neuropeptide precursor. The amino acid sequence of this precursor has been defined by analysis of the nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone. We labeled proteins in vivo by microinjection of radioactive amino...
متن کاملCyclic AMP-induced slow inward current in depolarized neurons of Aplysia californica.
Cyclic nucleotides have been implicated in many long-lasting transmitter-induced effects on membrane conductance. One previously observed effect of cAMP on molluscan neurons is to induce a slow inward current, which has been further evaluated here in depolarized anterior and medial cells of the pleural ganglion of Aplysia californica in order to understand better its underlying ionic mechanisms...
