An effect independent of calcium and calmodulin
Trypsin produces a dose-related increase in cellular cyclic AMP concentration in rat thymocytes [Shneyour, Patt & Trainin (1976) J. Immunol. 117, 2143-2149; Segal & Ingbar (1983) Clin. Res. 31, 277A]. In the present study, I examined whether this effect of trypsin requires Ca2+ and whether it is modified by calmodulin. In fresh thymocytes suspended in standard medium (containing 1 mM-Ca2+), try...
متن کاملA calcium-dependent but calmodulin-independent protein kinase from soybean.
A calcium-dependent protein kinase activity from suspension-cultured soybean cells (Glycine max L. Wayne) was shown to be dependent on calcium but not calmodulin. The concentrations of free calcium required for half-maximal histone H1 phosphorylation and autophosphorylation were similar ( approximately 2 micromolar). The protein kinase activity was stimulated 100-fold by >/=10 micromolar-free c...
متن کاملCalmodulin Activation by Calcium Transients in the Postsynaptic Density of Dendritic Spines
The entry of calcium into dendritic spines can trigger a sequence of biochemical reactions that begins with the activation of calmodulin (CaM) and ends with long-term changes to synaptic strengths. The degree of activation of CaM can depend on highly local elevations in the concentration of calcium and the duration of transient increases in calcium concentration. Accurate measurement of these l...
متن کاملUnique calcium-dependent hydrophobic binding proteins: possible independent mediators of intracellular calcium distinct from calmodulin.
Calcium-dependent regulation of cellular processes is mediated by specific intracellular proteins. A newly described set of proteins isolated from chicken gizzard with Mr of 67 X 10(3), 35 X 10(3), 33 X 10(3) and 30 X 10(3) also express a hydrophobic site in the presence of calcium. These proteins are isolated from several other cellular tissues and are termed calcimedins. These proteins differ...
متن کاملTwo Chromogranin A-Derived Peptides Induce Calcium Entry in Human Neutrophils by Calmodulin-Regulated Calcium Independent Phospholipase A2
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial peptides derived from the natural processing of chromogranin A (CgA) are co-secreted with catecholamines upon stimulation of chromaffin cells. Since PMNs play a central role in innate immunity, we examine responses by PMNs following stimulation by two antimicrobial CgA-derived peptides. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS PMNs were treated with different concentrations of ...
