Adenosine Receptor by Adenine Nucleotides
Adenosine and adenine nucleotides shorten the action potential duration of atrial myocytes and activate a specific acetylcholine and adenosine receptor-operated potassium outward current referred to as IKACh,Ado The objective of this study was to determine whether adenine nucleotides shorten the action potential duration and increase IKAChAdo in guinea pig atrial myocytes by directly activating...
متن کاملRegulation of pertussis toxin and lipopolysaccharide levels of Bordetella pertussis 134 in response to modulators
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious disease of the human respiratory tract, which is caused by Bordetella pertussis. Reemerge of pertussis in some highly immunized populations and divergency in gene order among several B. pertussis strains promoted this research to study the change of pertussis toxin (PT) and lipopolysacharide levels in response to the different environments. Th...
متن کاملBinding of adenine nucleotides to mitochondrial membrane.
It has been reported from different laboratories [l-4] that mitochondria are capable of binding ATP. However the exact magnitude of binding, and the relevance of this process to the mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation are still unknown, due to the extremely low amounts of bound nucleotides, and to some difficulties in carrying out the measurements. The key to clarification of this problem ha...
متن کاملPertussis toxin directly activates endothelial cell p42/p44 MAP kinases via a novel signaling pathway.
Bordetella pertussis generates a bacterial toxin utilized in signal transduction investigation because of its ability to ADP ribosylate specific G proteins. We previously noted that pertussis toxin (PTX) directly activates endothelial cells, resulting in disruption of monolayer integrity and intercellular gap formation via a signaling pathway that involves protein kinase C (PKC). We studied the...
متن کاملPertussis Toxin Treatment Alters Manganese
Exposure of rats to hyperoxia or to treatment with endotoxin, increases lung manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene expression. However, the paths by which these environmental signals are transduced into enhanced MnSOD gene expression are unknown. We now provide evidence that heterotrimeric G proteins are involved in the hyperoxia-induced increase in lung MnSOD gene expression but that per...
