Mechano-capacitive properties of polarized membranes.
Biological membranes are capacitors that can be charged by applying a field across the membrane. The charges on the capacitor exert a force on the membrane that leads to electrostriction, i.e. a thinning of the membrane. Since the force is quadratic in voltage, negative and positive voltage have an identical influence on the physics of symmetric membranes. However, this is not the case for a me...
متن کاملThe effect of copper on red cell enzyme activities.
Previous studies have shown a marked effect of very high levels of copper on red cell glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutathione. When the effect of more nearly physiological levels of copper were studied, red cell hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, phosphoglyceric kinase, pyruvate kinase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were found to be inhibited. Inhibition was observed both when co...
متن کاملPlant Golgi cell wall synthesis: from genes to enzyme activities.
T he cell wall provides mechanical support to the plant cells, and the surface wall, which is directly exposed to the extracellular environment, acts as a primary barrier against pathogen attack, mechanical injury, and other environmental stresses. Biophysical properties of the wall in conjunction with the cell turgor pressure determine the rate of cell expansion during primary growth (1). Poly...
متن کاملPDZ proteins retain and regulate membrane transporters in polarized epithelial cell membranes.
The plasma membrane of epithelial cells is subdivided into two physically separated compartments known as the apical and basolateral membranes. To obtain directional transepithelial solute transport, membrane transporters (i.e., ion channels, cotransporters, exchangers, and ion pumps) need to be targeted selectively to either of these membrane domains. In addition, the transport properties of a...
متن کاملRegulation of Enzyme Activities
spora crassa has been studied. Elevation of ATCase (L-aspartate carbamoyltransferase) activity is found in all pyrimidine-requiring mutants when they are starved for uridine. DHOase (dihydroorotase) is an unstable enzyme, and it is impossible to conclude what type of regulation, if any, controls this enzyme. DHOdehase (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase) activity shows a marked elevation in uridine-s...
