Direct Monitoring of Intracellular Calcium Ions in Sea Anemone Tentacles Suggests Regulation of Nematocyst Discharge by Remote, Rare Epidermal Cells.
In tentacles of sea anemones, cnidocytes and adjacent supporting cells are believed to be independent receptor-effector complexes that regulate nematocyst discharge in response to exogenous N-acetylated sugars. When sugar chemoreceptors on supporting cells are activated, nematocyst discharge is two- to threefold greater than discharge without chemosensitization. To examine the role of Ca2+ as a...
متن کاملDirect Regulation of Cytochrome c Oxidase by Calcium Ions
Cytochrome c oxidase from bovine heart binds Ca(2+) reversibly at a specific Cation Binding Site located near the outer face of the mitochondrial membrane. Ca(2+) shifts the absorption spectrum of heme a, which allowed previously to determine the kinetics and equilibrium characteristics of the binding. However, no effect of Ca(2+) on the functional characteristics of cytochrome oxidase was reve...

Novel role of calcium in exocytosis: mechanism of nematocyst discharge as shown by x-ray microanalysis.
Mature nematocysts of the sea anemones Rhodactis rhodostoma and Anthopleura elegantissima contain a fluid that has a high concentration of solutes and is extraordinarily rich in calcium (ca. 500-600 mmol/kg wet weight); this contrasts with the surrounding cytoplasm which is rich in potassium but poor in calcium. The undischarged capsule is surrounded by a membrane that probably acts as a select...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
