چکیده

A troponin-like complex has been isolated from bovine brain cortex. This tropinin-like complex, with brain tropomyosin, confers Ca2+ sensitivity to the actin-activated myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3). That is, the Mg2+-stimulated ATPase activity generated by the interaction of purified muscle actin with muscle myosin is inhibited in the absence of Ca2+ but not in the presence of Ca2+ as a result of the addition of both brain tropomyosin and troponin-like complex. The troponin-like complex contains three components, one of which is similar in molecular weight to the troponin-T of skeletal actomyosin.

The effects of subchronic social and isolation stresses on learning and memory trend in male rats

Introduction: Psychological stresses influence brain functions such as learning and memory. Environmental factors like types and durations of stress affect brain responsiveness. This study investigated the effects of two subchronic social and isolation stresses on learning, memory, adrenal glands weight and corticosterone levels in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. Methods: Eighteen male ...

Troponin C-like proteins (calmodulins) from mammalian smooth muscle and other tissues.

1. An acidic protein with properties similar to those of troponin C from rabbit skeletal muscle has been shown to be present in bovine and rabbit smooth muscles, chicken gizzard and rabbit liver, kidney and lung. 2. A simple new method involving the use of organic solvents is described for the purification of the troponin C-like proteins from various tissues. 3. The troponin C-like proteins can...

Isolation and long-term culture of neural stem cells from Acipenser persicus (Borodin, 1897)

In the present study, an in vitro brain cell culture was developed from neural cells of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus). The tissue samples collected from the anterior, middle and posterior regions of the brain were cultivated separately in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum, antibiotic and antimycotic. The medium was refreshed every 3 days. The cells became confluen...

Calmodulin and myosin light-chain kinase of rabbit fast skeletal muscle.

1. It is confirmed that myosin light-chain kinase is a protein of mol.wt. about 80,000 that is inactive in the absence of calmodulin. 2. In the presence of 1 mol of calmodulin/mol of kinase 80-90% of the maximal activity is obtained. 3. Crude preparations of the whole light-chain fraction of rabbit fast-skeletal-muscle myosin contain enough calmodulin to activate the enzyme. A method for the pr...

In the present study, an in vitro brain cell culture was developed from Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus). The tissues from anterior, middle and posterior regions of the brain were dissected, dispersed and cultivated separately in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum, antibiotic and antimycotic. The medium was changed every 3 days. The cells became confluent after about ...
