Modifications of anionic-lipid domains preceding membrane fusion in guinea pig sperm
The relationship between anionic-lipid concentration and the functional properties of plasma-membrane domains was explored using the guinea-pig sperm membrane as a model, with polymyxin B (PXB) as a probe. Areas of plasmalemma specialized for fusion during the acrosome reaction had a higher affinity for the probe than adjacent nonfusigenic regions. In addition, capacitation--a process preceding...
متن کاملThe membrane fusion events in degranulating guinea pig eosinophils.
We have investigated the granule fusion events associated with exocytosis in degranulating peritoneal guinea pig eosinophils by time-resolved patch-clamp capacitance measurements using the phase detector technique. Intracellular stimulation with micromolar calcium and GTP gamma S induces a 2- to 3-fold capacitance increase. The main phase of the capacitance increase occurs after a delay of 2-7 ...
متن کاملKaryotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
متن کاملLateral diffusion of the PH-20 protein on guinea pig sperm: evidence that barriers to diffusion maintain plasma membrane domains in mammalian sperm
PH-20 protein on the plasma membrane (PH-20PM) is restricted to the posterior head of acrosome-intact guinea pig sperm. During the exocytotic acrosome reaction the inner acrosomal membrane (IAM) becomes continuous with the posterior head plasma membrane, and PH-20PM migrates to the IAM. There it joins a second population of PH-20 protein localized to this region of the acrosomal membrane (PH-20...
متن کاملPeeking at the Steps Preceding Membrane Fusion
Over the recent year we have witnessed considerable advances in the study of neurotransmitter release. This progress has been severalfold as di#erent techniques have allowed us to characterise many steps along the process of exocytosis, membrane fusion, formation of the fusion pore, and have given insight in the kinetics of release and membrane re-uptake. Patch clamping provided quantitative me...
