De novo assembly of a transcriptome from the eggs and early embryos of Astropecten aranciacus
Starfish have been instrumental in many fields of biological and ecological research. Oocytes of Astropecten aranciacus, a common species native to the Mediterranean Sea and the East Atlantic, have long been used as an experimental model to study meiotic maturation, fertilization, intracellular Ca2+ signaling, and cell cycle controls. However, investigation of the underlying molecular mechanism...
متن کاملCytosolic Ca2+ prevents the subplasmalemmal clustering of STIM1: an intrinsic mechanism to avoid Ca2+ overload.
The stromal interacting molecule (STIM1) is pivotal for store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOC). STIM1 proteins sense the Ca(2+) concentration within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via an EF-hand domain. Dissociation of Ca(2+) from this domain allows fast oligomerization of STIM1 and the formation of spatially discrete clusters close to the plasma membrane. By lifetime-imaging of STIM1 i...
متن کاملCellular Motility Driven by Assembly and Disassembly of Actin Filaments
Motile cells extend a leading edge by assembling a branched network of actin filaments that produces physical force as the polymers grow beneath the plasma membrane. A core set of proteins including actin, Arp2/3 complex, profilin, capping protein, and ADF/cofilin can reconstitute the process in vitro, and mathematical models of the constituent reactions predict the rate of motion. Signaling pa...
متن کاملIntracellular Alkalinization Induces Cytosolic Ca2+ Increases by Inhibiting Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)
Intracellular pH (pHi) and Ca(2+) regulate essentially all aspects of cellular activities. Their inter-relationship has not been mechanistically explored. In this study, we used bases and acetic acid to manipulate the pHi. We found that transient pHi rise induced by both organic and inorganic bases, but not acidification induced by acid, produced elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+). The sources of th...
متن کاملRegulated exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells: a role for subplasmalemmal Cdc42/N-WASP-induced actin filaments.
In neuroendocrine cells, actin reorganization is a prerequisite for regulated exocytosis. Small GTPases, Rho proteins, represent potential candidates coupling actin dynamics to membrane trafficking events. We previously reported that Cdc42 plays an active role in regulated exocytosis in chromaffin cells. The aim of the present work was to dissect the molecular effector pathway integrating Cdc42...
