Inhibition of cyclic GMP formation and aggregation in Dictyostelium by the intracellular Ca2+ antagonist TMB-8.
Aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum was shown in previous studies employing EGTA to require Ca2+, but the intra- or extracellular site of action of this ion and its role in chemotaxis were not determined [1]. In this investigation we show that the intracellular Ca2+ immobilising agent TMB-8 does not affect binding of the signalling nucleotide, cAMP, to the cell surface receptors but abolish...
متن کاملSequencing and Molecular Analysis of ATP 6 and ATP 8 of Mitochondrial Genome in Khorasanian Native Chickens
In order to perform breeding programs and improve production of native chickens, preserving genetic diversity in different areas of Iran is important due to the reduced available population. Genome sequencing is considered the most functional approach to determine the phylogeny relation between close populations. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the phylogeny and genetic nucle...
متن کاملRole of Calcium in Phytochrome-Controlled Nyctinastic Movements of Albizzia lophantha Leaflets.
The involvement of Ca(2+) on phytochrome-controlled nyctinastic closure in Albizzia lophantha has been studied by testing the effect of the calcium ionophore 6S-[6alpha(2S(*),3S(*)),8beta(R(*)),9beta,11alpha]-5- methyl-amino)-2-[[3,9,11-trimethyl-8-[-1-methyl-2-oxo-2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl) ethyl]-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]-undec-2yl] methyl]-4-benzoxazolecarboxylic acid (A23187) and the intracellular calciu...
متن کاملTMB-8 inhibits respiration and cyclic GMP formation in Dictyostelium discoideum.
The putative inhibitor of intracellular calcium mobilization, TMB-8 was found to be a powerful inhibitor of respiration in amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum. Consequently, the previously reported effects of this drug on cyclic GMP formation induced by chemoattractants were reassessed. It was found that TMB-8 abolished both folate and cyclic AMP-mediated accumulation of cyclic GMP in D. discoi...
متن کاملMaturational arrest from CD4+8+ to CD4+8- thymocytes in a mutant strain (LEC) of rat
A mutant strain (LEC) of rats was found to have a novel defect in T cell maturation, that is, arrest of differentiation from CD4+8+ to CD4+8- but not to CD4-8+ thymocytes. FACS analyses demonstrated a deficiency in the CD4+8- T cell subset in the thymus and a marked decrease in CD4+ T cells in peripheral lymphoid organs. Expression of the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex in CD4+8+ and CD4-8+ t...
