The mechanism of action of the oncogene bcl-2, a key regulator of the apoptotic process, is still debated. We have employed organelle-targeted chimeras of the Ca(2+)-sensitive photoprotein, aequorin, to investigate in detail the effect of Bcl-2 overexpression on intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. In the ER and the Golgi apparatus, Bcl-2 overexpression increases the Ca(2+) leak (while leaving Ca(...
We have investigated the subcellular distribution and identity of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3)-sensitive calcium stores in living Limulus ventral photoreceptor cells, where light and InsP3 are known to raise intracellular calcium. We injected ventral photoreceptor cells with the photoprotein aequorin and viewed its luminescence with an image intensifier. InsP3 only elicited detectable aequori...
Abstract: Bioluminescence of Okinawan squid includes a photoprotein named "Symplectin" which gives light by addition of Na+ (or K+). The chromophore is covalently bound-imidazopyrazinone analog to protein. Symplectin was extracted with 0.6M KC1 and was analyzed to be composed of 3 different molecular-size proteins. Symplectin A, the smallest photoproteins, was purified by gel permeation chromat...
Symplectin is a photoprotein from a luminous squid, Symplectoteuthis oualaniensis. It has a luminous substrate, dehydrocoelenterazine (DCZ), linked through a thioether bond with a cysteine residue. We have proven the binding site of luminous substrate in symplectin by using an artificial analogue of DCZ, ortho-fluoro-DCZ (F-DCZ). F-DCZ-symplectin emitting strong blue light was reconstituted fro...
Single rat hepatocytes microinjected with the photoprotein aequorin generate oscillations in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when stimulated with agonists acting through the phosphoinositide signalling pathway. We show here that, in single rat hepatocytes, bovine growth hormone (bGH) is able to induce [Ca2+]i oscillations which display similarities with oscillations induced by p...
Maturation and fertilization of the starfish oocyte are putative calcium-dependent events. We have investigated the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics of this calcium dependence in single oocytes of Asterias forbesi. We used the calcium photoprotein, aequorin, in conjunction with a microscope-photomultiplier and microscope-image intensifier. Surprisingly, in contrast to earlier work wit...
