Chromosome aberrations in human spermatozoa treated with Ca2+ ionophore A23187.
Incorporation of A23187 ionophore into the human-hamster fertilization system clearly improves the ability of human spermatozoa to penetrate zona-free hamster oocytes. Thus, an increasing number of laboratories working in human sperm cytogenetics have substituted classical incubation with Biggers-Whitten-Whittingham (BWW) medium plus human serum albumin (HSA) by pretreatment of spermatozoa with...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent shortening of fibroblasts induced by the ionophore, A23187.
Attached, spread, chick heart fibroblasts were induced to shorten by treatment with the ionophore, A23187. The shortening resulted from the retraction of the leading lamellae and other major cell processes. The response was dependent on external calcium with a threshold close to, and a maximal effect at, physiological concentrations. The shortening was also induced in Colcemid-treated cells and...
متن کاملA23187: a divalent cation ionophore.
A23187 is a carboxylic acid antibiotic which simultaneously uncouples oxidative phosphorylation and inhibits ATPase of rat liver mitochondria incubated in a magnesium-free medium. The antibiotic acts as a freely mobile carrier to transport calcium and magnesium, but not potassium, from an aqueous medium buffered at pH 7.4 into a bulk organic phase. A23187 causes a progressive release of endogen...
متن کاملBiophysical analysis of the dynamics of calmodulin interactions with neurogranin and Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent kinase II
Calmodulin (CaM) functions depend on interactions with CaM-binding proteins, regulated by Ca2+. Induced structural changes influence the affinity, kinetics, and specificities of the interactions. The dynamics of CaM interactions with neurogranin (Ng) and the CaM-binding region of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII290-309 ) have been studied using biophysical methods. These proteins hav...
متن کاملA Dynamic Model of Interactions of Ca2+, Calmodulin, and Catalytic Subunits of Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II
During the acquisition of memories, influx of Ca2+ into the postsynaptic spine through the pores of activated N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptors triggers processes that change the strength of excitatory synapses. The pattern of Ca2+influx during the first few seconds of activity is interpreted within the Ca2+-dependent signaling network such that synaptic strength is eventually eithe...
