Cation Transport in Yeast
1. The distribution of azide added to suspensions of bakers' yeast was studied under various conditions. The recovery of azide was estimated in the volume of water into which low concentrations of electrolytes can readily diffuse (anion space). Considerable azide disappeared from this anion space. 2. The incomplete recovery of azide in the anion space is due to its uptake by the cells. This upt...
متن کاملBlocker State Dependence and Trapping in Hyperpolarization-activated Cation Channels: Evidence for an Intracellular Activation Gate
Hyperpolarization-activated cation currents (I h ) are key determinants of repetitive electrical activity in heart and nerve cells. The bradycardic agent ZD7288 is a selective blocker of these currents. We studied the mechanism for ZD7288 blockade of cloned I h channels in excised inside-out patches. ZD7288 blockade of the mammalian mHCN1 channel appeared to require opening of the channel, but ...
متن کاملOrganic cation transport by Malpighian tubules of Drosophila melanogaster: application of two novel electrophysiological methods.
Transport of the prototypical organic cation tetraethylammonium (TEA) by the Malpighian tubules, ureters and gut of Drosophila melanogaster was studied using two novel electrophysiological techniques. Both techniques exploited the high selectivity of the cation exchanger potassium tetra-p-chlorophenylborate for tetraalkylammonium compounds relative to inorganic cations such as K(+). In the firs...
متن کاملEvidence of photosymbiosis in Palaeozoic tabulate corals.
Coral reefs form the most diverse of all marine ecosystems on the Earth. Corals are among their main components and owe their bioconstructing abilities to a symbiosis with algae (Symbiodinium). The coral-algae symbiosis had been traced back to the Triassic (ca 240 Ma). Modern reef-building corals (Scleractinia) appeared after the Permian-Triassic crisis; in the Palaeozoic, some of the main reef...
