Role of Ca(2+) in excitation-contraction coupling in echinoderm muscle: comparison with role in other tissues.
نویسنده
چکیده
The longitudinal muscle of the body wall of Isostichopus badionotus may be considered a model for excitation-contraction coupling in echinoderm muscle. Other echinoderm muscles are reviewed by comparison with the model. Echinoderm muscle is also of interest as a model for 'mutable collagenous tissue'; however, in that tissue, Ca(2+) has been proposed to function both in living control systems and in regulation of non-living interstitial substance.

Control of the mode of excitation-contraction coupling by Ca(2+) stores in bovine trachealis muscle.
Full muscarinic stimulation in bovine tracheal smooth muscle caused a sustained contraction and increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) that was largely resistant to inhibition by nifedipine. Depletion of internal Ca(2+) stores with cyclopiazonic acid resulted in an increased efficacy of nifedipine to inhibit this contraction and the associated increase in [Ca(2+)](i). Thus...

متن کاملCalmodulin and Excitation-Contraction Coupling.
Excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac and skeletal muscle involves the transverse-tubule voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel and the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release channel. Both of these ion channels bind and are modulated by calmodulin in both its Ca(2+)-bound and Ca(2+)-free forms. Calmodulin is, therefore, potentially an important regulator of excitation-contraction coupling. Its pr...
متن کاملNeural agrin controls maturation of the excitation-contraction coupling mechanism in human myotubes developing in vitro.
The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the effects of innervation on the maturation of excitation-contraction coupling apparatus in human skeletal muscle. For this purpose, we compared the establishment of the excitation-contraction coupling mechanism in myotubes differentiated in four different experimental paradigms: 1) aneurally cultured, 2) cocultured with fet...
متن کاملThe other side of cardiac Ca2+ signaling: transcriptional control
Ca(2+) is probably the most versatile signal transduction element used by all cell types. In the heart, it is essential to activate cellular contraction in each heartbeat. Nevertheless Ca(2+) is not only a key element in excitation-contraction coupling (EC coupling), but it is also a pivotal second messenger in cardiac signal transduction, being able to control processes such as excitability, m...
