Involvement of extracellular calcium influx in the self-incompatibility response of Papaver rhoeas.
We have previously demonstrated that increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ are triggered by the self-incompatibility (SI) response in incompatible Papaver rhoeas (the field poppy) pollen. However, one key question that has not been answered is whether extracellular Ca2+ may be involved. To address this question, we have used an ion-selective vibrating probe to measure changes in extracellular Ca2+ f...
متن کاملThe actin cytoskeleton is a target of the self-incompatibility response in Papaver rhoeas.
The integration of signals received by a cell, and their transduction to targets, is essential for all cellular responses. The cytoskeleton has been identified as a major target of signalling cascades in both animal and plant cells. Self-incompatibility (SI) in Papaver rhoeas involves an allele-specific recognition between stigmatic S-proteins and pollen, resulting in the inhibition of incompat...
متن کاملRecognizing self in the self-incompatibility response.
François Jacob once facetiously lamented the arrangement in the human body whereby reproduction is the only function for which an individual is equipped with only one-half of the necessary organs, thus entailing the expenditure of a substantial amount of time and energy into finding the other half (10). The spatial separation of the sexual partners (or organs) is indeed an obligatory feature of...
متن کاملSelf-incompatibility response induced by calcium increase in sperm of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis.
Many hermaphroditic organisms possess a self-incompatibility system to avoid self-fertilization. Recently, we identified the genes responsible for self-sterility in a hermaphroditic primitive chordate (ascidian), Ciona intestinalis: sperm-side polycystin 1-like receptors s-Themis-A/B and egg-side fibrinogen-like ligands on the vitelline coat (VC) v-Themis-A/B. Here, we investigated the sperm be...
متن کاملInvolvement of osmo-sensitive calcium influx in human sperm activation.
Mammalian spermatozoa must undergo capacitation and acrosome reaction before fertilization. To date, the precise mechanisms regulating these complex processes are not well understood but it is generally agreed that they involve an influx of calcium from the extracellular space through, as yet, poorly characterized plasma membrane pathways. Here we present evidence for a novel mechanism to incre...
