Accelerated sliding of pollen tube organelles along Characeae actin bundles regulated by Ca2+
Pollen tubes show active cytoplasmic streaming. We isolated organelles from pollen tubes and tested their ability to slide along actin bundles in characean cell models. Here, we show that sliding of organelles was ATP-dependent and that motility was lost after N-ethylmaleimide or heat treatment of organelles. On the other hand, cytoplasmic streaming in pollen tube was inhibited by either N-ethy...
متن کاملAPP processing is regulated by cytoplasmic phosphorylation
Amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) aggregate in senile plaque is a key characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we show that phosphorylation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) on threonine 668 (P-APP) may play a role in APP metabolism. In AD brains, P-APP accumulates in large vesicular structures in afflicted hippocampal pyramidal neurons that costain with antibodies against endosome markers...
متن کاملDifferent cytoplasmic calcium contents among three species of Characeae.
Internodal cells of three species of Characeae, Nitella flexilis, Nitella axilliformis and Chara corallina, were analyzed for the contents of Ca(2+ )and Mg(2+) in the cytoplasm. To avoid contamination of Ca(2+) from the cell wall and vacuole, the vacuolar sap was replaced with a sorbitol solution containing Sr(2+) by the vacuolar perfusion method after the cell had been treated with Sr(2+). No ...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملExocytosis, dependent on Ca2+ release from Ca2+ stores, is regulated by Ca2+ microdomains.
The relationship between the cellular Ca2+ signal and secretory vesicle fusion (exocytosis) is a key determinant of the regulation of the kinetics and magnitude of the secretory response. Here, we have investigated secretion in cells where the exocytic response is controlled by Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores. Using live-cell two-photon microscopy that simultaneously records Ca2+sig...
