Two Proteins Purified from Lobster Nerve Extract
1. A protein component, fraction B, of lobster nerve extracts has been isolated and purified by differential ultracentrifugation and precipitation with zinc acetate. 2. Physicochemical data obtained from this protein and from fraction C are summarized. 3. Fraction B is present in lobster nerve extracts in higher concentration (relative to fraction A) than in blood. 4. A second component, fracti...
متن کاملBiochemistry and ultrastructure of serotonergic nerve endings in the lobster: serotonin and octopamine are contained in different nerve endings.
In this article we report that the distribution of serotonin in the lobster nervous system parallels the distribution of octopamine and that the same tissues that contain endogenous serotonin can synthesize it from tryptophan. Octopamine and serotonin are highly concentrated in a neurosecretory region of the second thoracic roots in association with a group of neurosecretory cells. The roots po...
متن کاملSolitary tumours of peripheral nerve trunks.
Primary solitary tumours of the peripheral nerve trunks are relatively infrequent. Three such tumours have been treated at Hammersmith Hospital during the last four years, but a search of the hospital records for the period 1939-1950 has not shown any similar cases. (Solitary tumours of the auditory nerve and spinal nerve roots are not included in this report.) In these three patients the tumou...
متن کاملNerve fibre velocity and refractory period distributions in nerve trunks.
With the use of a double stimulus technique, nerve fibre velocity range measurements were performed over a single conduction distance in 13 normal subjects and over two conduction distances in another 12 normal subjects. The velocity ranges were found to be dependent upon the conduction distance, owing to unknown refractory period delays. Refractory period values were calculated for the 12 subj...
متن کاملTwo structural adaptations for regulating transmitter release at lobster neuromuscular synapses.
The distal accessory flexor muscle (DAFM) in the lobster (Homarus americanus) walking leg consists of 5 muscle fiber bundles. All five bundles, one proximal, one distal, and 3 medial, are innervated by one excitatory and one inhibitory motor neuron. Both neurons release more transmitter on the distal bundle than on the proximal bundle. The aim of our studies was to investigate the structural ba...
