Lability of the prolonged depolarizing afterpotential in Balanus photoreceptors
A large cell to cell variability of the prolonged depolarizing afterpotential (PDA) decay time constant (tau) has been measured in Balanus eberneus lateral ocelli. While 25% of the cells had PDA's of long duration, tau greater than 10 min. 45% of the cells tested showed either weak (tau less than 60 s) PDA or none at all. The variability was not reflected in the late receptor potential. All the...
متن کاملSpatial properties of the prolonged depolarizing afterpotential in barnacle photoreceptors. I. The induction process
In invertebrate photoreceptors, when the light stimulus results in substantial net transfer of the visual pigment from the rhodopsin (R) to the metarhodopsin (M) state, the ordinary late receptor potential (LRP) is followed by a prolonged depolarizing afterpotential (PDA). The dependence of the amplitude of the PDA on the amount of pigment conversion is strongly supralinear, and the PDA duratio...
متن کاملSpatial properties of the prolonged depolarizing afterpotential in barnacle photoreceptors. II. Antagonistic interactions
In the preceding article, we investigated the spatial properties of the induction of the prolonged depolarizing afterpotential (PDA) by shifting visual pigment from the rhodopsin (R) to the metarhodopsin (M) state in the barnacle photoreceptor. In this work, we have studied the ranges within the cell of the antagonistic effects on the PDA of M-to-R transfer. When this transfer occurs during a P...
متن کاملEffects of priming flash parameters and dark interval on red-induced afterpotential in Balanus photoreceptors
The sequence (a) priming flash, (b) dark interval, and (c) red light induces a long-lasting afterdepolarization (PDA) in Balanus photoreceptors. The inward flow of membrane current associated with the decay of PDA was independent of red test flashes, provided that PDA had plateaued at a particular intensity. The influence of wavelength and duration of the priming flash and their interaction wit...
متن کاملPDA (Prolonged Depolarizing Afterpotential) - Defective Mutants: The Story of nina's and ina's—pinta and santa maria, Too
Our objective is to present a comprehensive view of the PDA (prolonged depolarizing afterpotential)-defective Drosophila mutants, nina's and ina's, from the discussion of the PDA and the PDA-based mutant screening strategy to summaries of the knowledge gained through the studies of mutants generated using the strategy. The PDA is a component of the light-evoked photoreceptor potential that is g...
