ATP-Regulated Ion Channels in the Plasma Membrane of a Characeae Alga, Nitellopsis obtusa.
Using the patch-clamp technique, we recorded single-channel currents across the excised patch of the plasma membrane of Nitellopsis. Both K(+) and Na(+) can pass this channel, but currents were not carried by Cl(-). Upon the addition of ATP or AMP to the cytoplasmic side, the frequency of channel opening decreased. This is the first report on an ATP-regulated channel in plant cells.
متن کاملIon Transport in Nitellopsis Obtusa
The distribution and rates of exchange of the ions sodium, potassium, and chloride in single internodal cells of the ecorticate characean, Nitellopsis obtusa, have been studied. In tracer experiments three kinetic compartments were found, the outermost "free space" of the cell, a compartment we have called "protoplasmic non-free space", and the cell sap. The concentrations in the vacuole were 5...
متن کاملAl 3 + induced membrane potential changes in Nitellopsis obtusa cells
To study the mechanism of aluminium toxicity in plant cells, the effects of aluminium on the electrogenesis of plasma membrane were investigated. We analyzed Al3+ induced membrane potential (Em) changes and potential changes during generation of the action potential (AP) in the internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa. Al3+ modified Em decrease significantly. Al3+ didn’t attenuate the amplitude o...

The distribution and rates of exchange of the ions sodium, potassium, and chloride in single internodal cells of the ecorticate characean, Nitdlopsis obtusa, have been studied. In tracer experiments three kinetic compartments were found, the outermost "free space" of the cell, a compartment we have called "protoplasmic non4ree space", and the cell sap.

متن کاملCa2+-induced activation and irreversible inactivation of chloride channels in the perfused plasmalemma of Nitellopsis obtusa.
Experiments were carried out on the algal cells with removed tonoplast using both continuous intracellular perfusion and voltage clamp on plasmalemma. The transient plasmalemma current induced by depolarization disappeared upon perfusion with the Ca2+-chelating agent, EGTA, since the voltage-dependent calcium channels lost their ability to activate. Subsequent replacement of the perfusion mediu...
