Regulation of the formation and water permeability of endosomes from toad bladder granular cells
Osmotic water permeability (Pf) in toad bladder is regulated by the vasopressin (VP)-dependent movement of vesicles containing water channels between the cytoplasm and apical membrane of granular cells. Apical endosomes formed in the presence of serosal VP have the highest Pf of any biological or artificial membrane (Shi and Verkman. 1989. J. Gen. Physiol. 94:1101-1115). We examine here: (a) th...
متن کاملIsolation of Highly Purified Mitochondria from Rat Pancreas
The exocrine pancreas, an active secretory gland, is a suitable model for studies concerning the structure of cell organelles and the coupling of energy production with different biosynthetic processes (1, 2) . However, the investigation of isolated pancreas mitochondria is not often performed because of the many difficulties in obtaining reproducible preparations with well-preserved structure ...
متن کاملNeurohypophyseal hormone-sensitive adenyl cyclase of toad urinary bladder.
An adenyl cyclase preparation derived from epithelial cells of the urinary bladder of the toad, Bufo marinus, is described. This cyclase preparation is specifically stimulated by neurohypophyseal hormones and various synthetic analogs which evoke a hydroosmotic response in the intact bladder. The relative stimulatory effects of these compounds have been compared on the cyclase preparation and i...
متن کاملPassive Electrical Properties of Toad Urinary Bladder Epithelium
The electrical resistances of the transcellular and paracellular pathways across the toad urinary bladder epithelium (a typical "tight" sodium-transporting epithelium) were determined by two independent sets of electrophysiological measurements: (a) the measurement of the total transepithelial resistance, the ratio of resistance of the apical to the basal cell membrane, and cable analysis of th...
متن کاملGlyoxylate cycle in toad urinary bladder: possible stimulation by aldosterone.
A homogenate of the toad urinary bladder epithelial cell layer has the two enzymatic activities unique to the glyoxylate cycle--isocitrate lyase (threo-Ds-isocitrate glyoxylate-lyase, EC 4.1.3.1) and malate synthase [L-malate glyoxylate-lyase (CA-acetylating), EC 4.1.3.2]--as well as the capacity to carry out CN-insensitive palmitoyl-CoA oxidation. When tissue is incubated in the presence of a ...
