ATP-Regulated Ion Channels in the Plasma Membrane of a Characeae Alga, Nitellopsis obtusa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the patch-clamp technique, we recorded single-channel currents across the excised patch of the plasma membrane of Nitellopsis. Both K(+) and Na(+) can pass this channel, but currents were not carried by Cl(-). Upon the addition of ATP or AMP to the cytoplasmic side, the frequency of channel opening decreased. This is the first report on an ATP-regulated channel in plant cells.

Realized niche shift associated with the Eurasian charophyte Nitellopsis obtusa becoming invasive in North America
Nitellopsis obtusa (starry stonewort) is a dioecious green alga native to Europe and Asia that has emerged as an aquatic invasive species in North America. Nitellopsis obtusa is rare across large portions of its native range, but has spread rapidly in northern-tier lakes in the United States, where it can interfere with recreation and may displace native species. Little is known about the invas...
متن کاملAl 3 + induced membrane potential changes in Nitellopsis obtusa cells
To study the mechanism of aluminium toxicity in plant cells, the effects of aluminium on the electrogenesis of plasma membrane were investigated. We analyzed Al3+ induced membrane potential (Em) changes and potential changes during generation of the action potential (AP) in the internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa. Al3+ modified Em decrease significantly. Al3+ didn’t attenuate the amplitude o...

The effects of Cd and Pb on membrane potential (E(m)) and photoelectric reaction of Nitellopsis obtusa cells were investigated. It was found that Cd and Pb at 1.0 mM caused a depolarization of the E(m), whereas both metals at lower concentrations changed the E(m) in a different way. Pb at 0.1 mM and 0.01 mM hyperpolarized the E(m), whereas Cd at the same concentrations depolarized and did not c...

Aluminium induced membrane potential (Em) changes and potential changes during repolarization phase of the action potential (AP) in the internodal cells ofNitellopsis obtusa after blocking H-ATPase activity by DCCD were investigated. Micromolar concentrations of DCCD are sufficient to give complete and irreversible inhibition of proton pumping. The membrane potential was measured by conventiona...

The effect of novel synthesized aminophosphonates on membrane potential and electrical conductance of internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa and hemolysis of erythrocytes (RBC) was studied. It was found that those the organophosphorous compounds, when present at 10-100 microM concentrations, caused depolarization and increased electrical conductance of alga membranes. They also influenced fluid...
