Preparation of Membrane Vesicles Enriched in ATP-Dependent Proton Transport from Suspension Cultures of Tomato Cells.
Membranes enriched in ATP-dependent proton transport were prepared from suspension cultures of tomato cells (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv VF36). Suspension cultures were a source of large quantities of membranes from rapidly growing, undifferentiated cells. Proton transport activity was assayed as quench of acridine orange fluorescence. The activity of the proton translocating ATPase and of ...
متن کاملPossible ATP release through lysosomal exocytosis from primary sensory neurons.
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays important roles under physiological and pathological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. In the present study, we set out to study the role of lysosomal vesicles on ATP release from the dorsal root ganglion neurons. We found that the lysosomal vesicles, which contain the quinacrine-positive fluorescence and ex...
متن کاملNon-cholinergic effects of paraoxon on [3h]-GABA release from rat cerebellar giant synaptosomes
Diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (paraoxon) is the active toxic metabolite of parathion. Some evidences indicate that OPs affect the GABA system via noncholinergic mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of paraoxon on K+-evoked [3H]-GABA release from cerebellar synaptosomes. Adult male rats (200 ± 30 g; 3-4 months old) were sacrificed by decapitation and the cerebel...
متن کاملATP release mechanisms in primary cultures of epithelia derived from the cysts of polycystic kidneys.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) cyst enlargement is exacerbated by accumulation of fluid within the lumen of the cyst. Extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides stimulate fluid and chloride (Cl-) secretion across epithelia and are potent autocrine and paracrine agonists within tissues. This study tests the hypothesis that ATP may be released by ADPKD epithelial cells. Once ...
متن کاملCoordinated release of ATP and ACh from cholinergic synaptosomes and its inhibition by calmodulin antagonists.
Isolated cholinergic synaptosomes from elasmobranch electric organ release both ACh and ATP when depolarized in the presence of calcium. The conditions that trigger ATP release are the same as those known to stimulate neurosecretion. The ratio of ACh to ATP released is the same as that found in purified elasmobranch synaptic vesicles. Both ACh and ATP release are inhibited either by the removal...
