Characteristics of weak base-induced vacuoles formed around individual acidic organelles.
We have previously found that the weak base 4-aminopyridine induces Brownian motion of acidic organelles around which vacuoles are formed, causing organelle traffic disorder in neurons. Our present study investigated the characteristics of vacuoles induced by weak bases (NH(4)Cl, aminopyridines, and chloroquine) using mouse cells. Individual vacuoles included acidic organelles identified by flu...
متن کاملLegionella pneumophila Replication Vacuoles Mature into Acidic, Endocytic Organelles
After ingestion by macrophages, Legionella pneumophila inhibits acidification and maturation of its phagosome. After a 6-10-h lag period, the bacteria replicate for 10-14 h until macrophage lysis releases dozens of progeny. To examine whether the growth phase of intracellular L. pneumophila determines the fate of its phagosome, interactions between the endosomal network and pathogen vacuoles we...
متن کاملSection 12.3 - Probes for Lysosomes, Yeast Vacuoles and Other Acidic Organelles
Molecular Probes’ acidotropic reagents can be used to stain lysosomes and yeast vacuoles, as well as several other types of acidic compartments such as trans-Golgi vesicles, endosomes and subpopulations of coated vesicles in fibroblasts, secretory vesicles in insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells, acrosomes of spermatazoa and plant vacuoles.1 Lysosomes contain glycosidases, acid phosphatases, el...
متن کاملPrelysosomal acidic vacuoles in Dictyostelium discoideum
We have examined the ameba Dictyostelium discoideum for evidence of a discrete, prelysosomal, acidic receiving compartment in endocytosis. We observed in the cytoplasm abundant round vacuoles with diameters up to 2 microns that concentrated acridine orange by a process inhibited by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl). They were therefore taken to be acidic. The vacuoles were observ...
متن کاملIntervesicular exchange of lipids with weak acid and weak base characteristics: influence of transmembrane pH gradients.
Transmembrane pH gradients have previously been shown to induce an asymmetric transmembrane distribution of simple lipids that exhibit weak acid or basic characteristics (Hope, M.J. and Cullis, P.R. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 4360-4366). In the present study we have examined the influence of proton gradients on the inter-vesicular exchange of stearylamine and oleic acid. We show that vesicles c...
