چکیده

Beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) induced an increase in cytosolic free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]c) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells monitored with transgenic aequorin, a Ca2+-dependent photoprotein. The PEA-induced [Ca2+]c increase was dependent on the concentrations of PEA applied, and the Ca2+ mostly originated from an extracellular source. Preceding the Ca2+ influx, H2O2 was generated in the cells by the addition of PEA. Externally added H2O2 also induced a [Ca2+]c increase. These results suggest that PEA induces the [Ca2+]c increase via H2O2 generation. The PEA-induced [Ca2+]c increase occurred in the mid1 mutant with a slightly smaller peak than in the wild-type strain, indicating that Mid1, a stretch-activated nonselective cation channel, may not be mainly involved in the PEA-induced Ca2+ influx. When PEA was applied, the MATa mid1 mutant was rescued from alpha-factor-induced death in a Ca2+-limited medium, suggesting that the PEA-induced [Ca2+]c increase can reinforce calcium signaling in the mating pheromone response pathway.

P146: Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and its Alterations in Stress

Gamma aminobutyrate (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that is thought to play an important role in the modulation of the central response to stress. Mechanisms by which GABA may facilitate these responses to stress are metabolic and/or mechanical disruptions. Environmental stresses increase GABA accumulation through cytosolic acidification, induce an acidic pH-dependent activation of glutamate...

Ca2+ transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Cytosolic free Ca2+ is maintained at submicromolar levels in budding yeast by the activity of Ca2+ pumps and antiporters. We have recently identified the structural genes for two Ca2+ pumps, PMC1 [correction of PCM1] and PMR1, which are required for Ca2+ sequestration into the vacuole and secretory organelles, respectively. The function of either Ca2+ pump is sufficient for yeast viability, but...

Intracellular Pattern of Cytosolic Ca” Changes During Adhesion and Multiple Phagocytosis in Human Neutrophils. Dynamics of Intracellular Ca2+ Stores

The subcellular pattern of cytosolic free Caz+ ([Caz+li) changes in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) was studied using imaging of fura-2 fluorescence (time resolution 12.5 ratiosls) to determine whether PMNs could obtain directional information from the [Ca2+li signal. [Ca2+li changes were observed during initial adherence, the subsequent chemotactic movement, and the phagocytosis ...

Bovine growth hormone induces oscillations in cytosolic free Ca2+ in single rat hepatocytes.

Single rat hepatocytes microinjected with the photoprotein aequorin generate oscillations in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when stimulated with agonists acting through the phosphoinositide signalling pathway. We show here that, in single rat hepatocytes, bovine growth hormone (bGH) is able to induce [Ca2+]i oscillations which display similarities with oscillations induced by p...

Muscarinic receptor-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis at resting cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in PC12 cells

In PC12 cells, cultured in the presence of nerve growth factor to increase their complement of muscarinic receptors, treatment with carbachol induces muscarinic receptor-dependent rises in free cytosolic Ca2+ as well as hydrolysis of membrane phosphoinositides. Experiments were carried out to clarify the relationship between these two receptor-triggered events. In particular, since inositol-1,4...
