Ornithine decarboxylase activity: control by cyclic nucleotides.
Both exposure to cold and administration of aminophylline result in rapid increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in the adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex. These increases are followed by dramatic increases in ornithine decarboxylase activity is due to new enzyme systhesis. The data suggest that the decarboxylase activity is regulated by an increase in cyclic AMP.
متن کاملGap Junction Channels Exhibit Connexin-specific Permeability to Cyclic Nucleotides
Gap junction channels exhibit connexin dependent biophysical properties, including selective intercellular passage of larger solutes, such as second messengers and siRNA. Here, we report the determination of cyclic nucleotide (cAMP) permeability through gap junction channels composed of Cx43, Cx40, or Cx26 using simultaneous measurements of junctional conductance and intercellular transfer of c...
متن کاملExtracellular Modulation of the Silkmoth Sex Pheromone Receptor Activity by Cyclic Nucleotides
Odorants and pheromones are essential to insects as chemical cues for finding food or an appropriate mating partner. These volatile compounds bind to olfactory receptors (Ors) expressed by olfactory sensory neurons. Each insect Or functions as a ligand-gated ion channel and is a heteromeric complex that comprises one type of canonical Or and a highly conserved Orco subunit. Because there are ma...
متن کاملThe Role of Cyclic Nucleotides in Modulation of Crayfish Neuromuscular Junctions by a Neuropeptide By
DF2, a heptapeptide, is a member of the family ofFMRFamide-like peptides and has been shown to increase the amount of transmitter released at neuromuscular junctions of the crayfish, Procambarus clarkit Recent evidence has shown that protein kinase C (PKC), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and the cAMPdependent protein kinase (PKA) play a role in the neuromodulatory pathw...
متن کاملDirect modulation of tracheal Cl--channel activity by 5,6- and 11,12-EET.
Using microelectrode potential measurements, we tested the involvement of Cl- conductances in the hyperpolarization induced by 5,6- and 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) in airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells. 5,6-EET and 11,12-EET (0.75 μM) caused -5.4 ± 1.1- and -3.34 ± 0.95-mV hyperpolarizations, respectively, of rabbit tracheal cells (from a resting membrane potential of -53.25 ± 0.44 mV), ...
