Predicting local SR Ca(2+) dynamics during Ca(2+) wave propagation in ventricular myocytes.
Of the many ongoing controversies regarding the workings of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in cardiac myocytes, two unresolved and interconnected topics are 1), mechanisms of calcium (Ca(2+)) wave propagation, and 2), speed of Ca(2+) diffusion within the SR. Ca(2+) waves are initiated when a spontaneous local SR Ca(2+) release event triggers additional release from neighboring clusters of SR r...
متن کاملSubcellular Ca(2+) Dynamics.
The field of subcellular Ca(2+) homeostasis is evolving rapidly. In parallel with improvements in spatial and temporal resolution of Ca(2+) imaging techniques, new methods using the natural cell machinery to target Ca(2+)-sensitive proteins such as aequorin to precise intracellular locations promise superb specificity to measure [Ca(2+)] in defined subcellular environments.
متن کاملDynamics of intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ oscillations in the presence of multisite Ca$^{2+}$-binding proteins
We study the dynamics of intracellular calcium oscillations in the presence of proteins that bind calcium on multiple sites and that are generally believed to act as passive calcium buffers in cells. We find that multisite calcium-binding proteins set a sharp threshold for calcium oscillations. Even with high concentrations of calcium-binding proteins, internal noise, which shows up spontaneous...
متن کاملMitochondrial free [Ca(2+)] dynamics measured with a novel low-Ca(2+) affinity aequorin probe.
Mitochondria have a very large capacity to accumulate Ca(2+) during cell stimulation driven by the mitochondrial membrane potential. Under these conditions, [Ca(2+)](M) (mitochondrial [Ca(2+)]) may well reach millimolar levels in a few seconds. Measuring the dynamics of [Ca(2+)](M) during prolonged stimulation has been previously precluded by the high Ca(2+) affinity of the probes available. We...
متن کاملElectrochemical Studies of the Protonation of Ca - and Ca 2 -
Cyclic voltammetric reduction of c60 to the radical anion, c60-, is unaffected by the presence of weak proton donors in o-dichlorobenzene, indicating that the monoanion is a weak base. Further reduction to the dianion results in a drastic increase in basicity, and an estimate of the acidity of the conjugate acid, C60H-, is obtained. Bulk electrolysis studies allow further characterization of th...
