Release-Activated Ca2+ Transport in Neurons of Frog Sympathetic Ganglia
Frog sympathetic ganglion neurons exhibit a novel Ca2+ uptake mechanism, release-activated calcium transport or RACT, which is manifest in both cytosolic and store [Ca2+] signals as greatly accelerated Ca2+ uptake after Ca2+ release from internal stores. RACT is activated by Ca2+ release but not by Ca2+ entry and serves to selectively refill Ca2+ stores after release. RACT lowers cytosolic [Ca2...
متن کاملSlow synaptic transmission in frog sympathetic ganglia.
Bullfrog ganglia contain two classes of neurone, B and C cells, which receive different inputs and exhibit different slow synaptic potentials. B cells, to which most effort has been directed, possess slow and late slow EPSPs. The sEPSP reflects a muscarinic action of acetylcholine released from boutons on B cells, whereas the late sEPSP is caused by a peptide (similar to teleost LHRH) released ...
متن کاملAcetylcholinesterase in Frog Sympathetic and Dorsal Root Ganglia
The localization and chemical determination of acetylcholin esterase in the frog sympathetic and dorsal root ganglia were studied by a combination of the methods of electron microscopy, histochemistry, and microgasometric analysis with the magnetic diver. The Koelle-Friedenwald copper thiocholine histochemical method was modified by eliminating the sulfide conversion and by treatment of the tis...
متن کاملLocal oscillations of frog skeletal muscle sarcomeres induced by subthreshold concentration of caffeine.
Different intracellular processes are selectively controlled by a signalling system based on transient rises or oscillations of cytoplasmic calcium concentration, which transmit extracellular signals at subcellular level. When treated with a subthreshold concentration of caffeine, skeletal muscle cells provide a suitable preparation to study mechanisms which generate repetitive calcium transien...
متن کاملUltraviolet light activates blocking actions of dantrolene on intracellular Ca2+ release in bullfrog sympathetic neurones.
Effects of dantrolene, a blocker of intracellular Ca2+ release, on the oscillation of the intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) induced by caffeine were studied in bullfrog sympathetic ganglion cells, using a Fura-2 fluorescence technique. Dantrolene blocked the Ca2+ oscillation only in the cell illuminated by ultraviolet light (335-385 nm). Likewise, the blocking effects on rhythmic Ca(2+)-dependent hy...
