STIMulating Ca2+ influx
736 L ike rowdy bar patrons, centro-somes must be booted from the cell during oogenesis. To achieve this, a cell cycle regulator moonlights as a bouncer for centrosomes, as shown by Kim and Roy on page 751. In most organisms, centrosomes are removed from the developing egg to prevent the fertilized zygote from inheriting redundant sets from both the egg and the sperm. But too many of these micr...
متن کاملReduced Loading of Intracellular Ca2+ Stores and Downregulation of Capacitative Ca2+Influx in Bcl-2–Overexpressing Cells
The mechanism of action of the oncogene bcl-2, a key regulator of the apoptotic process, is still debated. We have employed organelle-targeted chimeras of the Ca(2+)-sensitive photoprotein, aequorin, to investigate in detail the effect of Bcl-2 overexpression on intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. In the ER and the Golgi apparatus, Bcl-2 overexpression increases the Ca(2+) leak (while leaving Ca(...
متن کاملstore-regulated Ca2+ influx in human neutrophils
1. It is not known to what extent the emptying of intracellular Ca2+ stores participates in the mediation of chemoattractantinduced Ca2+ influx in humawneutrophils. To study this question, we compared the properties of bivalent-cation influx in response to the chemoattractant N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (f-MLP) and to the microsomal Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin. 2. The i...
متن کاملLight-Induced Ca2+ Influx into Spinach Protoplasts
Protoplasts from spinach leaves exhibit a light-induced Ca2+ influx. The half maximum rate of Ca2+ influx is achieved at ~ 5 Wm"2. The action spectrum of this influx is similar to that of photosynthesis. Furthermore, light-induced Ca2+ influx is abolished by DCM U (2* 0.5 îm) and is sensitive to the uncoupler FCCP. Vanadate up to 3 enhances light-induced Ca2+ influx. These data indicate that ph...
متن کاملP30: Effects of Hemin on Ca2+Influx in Neurons of C57BL/6 Mouse Brain
Excitotoxicity results in a significant increase in Ca2+ influx; essentially from open N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) channels that cause a secondary rise in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. It is correlated with neuronal death induced by Ca2+ overload. Dysfunction of NMDARs is associated with excitotoxic neuronal death in neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, the effects of...
