The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum of Striated Muscle of a Cyclopoid Copepod

CGP - 37157 inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2 + ATPase and activates ryanodine receptor channels in striated muscle

Study on population growth and production of cyclopoid copepod Acanthocyclops trajani fed on different diets

In this study the effects of different algal and nonalgal diets on density and population growth rate of cyclopoid copepod Acanthocyclops trajani were studied. To this intention, the copepod were mass cultured in 120 liter tanks by feeding on different diets (5 treatments, 3 replicate in each one) including fresh composition of microalgae: Scenedesmus obliquus and Spirulina maxima (LSS), dried ...

Caveolae intracellulares and sarcoplasmic reticulum in smooth muscle.

In the last 15 years several electron-microscope studies of visceral and vascular smooth muscle of vertebrates have been published (see reviews by Dewey & Barr, 1968, and Burnstock, 1970). The presence of bottle-shaped invaginations of the sarcolemmal membrane (micropinocvtotic vesicles, caveolae intracellulares) (Caesar, Edwards & Ruska, 1957) is well known. However, it is generally accepted t...

The ESCRT-II proteins are involved in shaping the sarcoplasmic reticulum in C. elegans.

The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and cisternae localized in close association with the contractile apparatus, and regulates Ca(2+)dynamics within striated muscle cell. The sarcoplasmic reticulum maintains its shape and organization despite repeated muscle cell contractions, through mechanisms which are still under investigation. The ESCRT complexes are essential to organize me...

Binding of an ankyrin-1 isoform to obscurin suggests a molecular link between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofibrils in striated muscles

Assembly of specialized membrane domains, both of the plasma membrane and of the ER, is necessary for the physiological activity of striated muscle cells. The mechanisms that mediate the structural organization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum with respect to the myofibrils are, however, not known. We report here that ank1.5, a small splice variant of the ank1 gene localized on the sarcoplasmic re...
