Tuberculosis, the second leading infectious disease killer after HIV, remains a top public health priority. The causative agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which can cause both acute and clinically latent infections, reprograms metabolism in response to the host niche. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck) is the enzyme at the center of the phosphoenolpyruvate-pyruvate-...
We have investigated the ability of various divalent cations to carry current through membrane channels in ciliates activated by mechanical stimulation and by membrane depolarization. Both types of channels are identified as Ca2+ channels. Whereas Ba2+ ions and Sr2+ ions can replace Ca2+ ions as charge carriers during either kind of current, Mg2+ ions can carry the current evoked by mechanical ...
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effect of the macrolide antibiotic azithromycin on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We studied the susceptibility to azithromycin in P. aeruginosa PAO1 using a killing assay. PAO1 cells at the exponential growth phase were resistant to azithromycin. In contrast, PAO1 cells at the stationary growth phase were sensitive to azithromycin. The divalent cation...
A hallmark feature of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors is their voltage-dependent block by extracellular Mg2+. The structural basis for Mg2+ block is not fully understood. Although asparagine residues in the pore-forming M2 regions of NR1 and NR2 subunits influence Mg2+ block, it has been speculated that additional residues are likely to be involved. Here, we report the unexpected finding ...
Using single-molecule force spectroscopy to probe ICAM-1 interactions with recombinant alphaLbeta2 immobilized on microspheres and beta2 integrin on neutrophils, we quantified an impressive hierarchy of long-lived, high-strength states of the integrin bond, which start from basal levels with activation in solutions of divalent cations and shift dramatically upward to hyperactivated states with ...
Metal cofactors are necessary for the activity of alkylation by prenyl transfer in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Rubber transferase (RuT, a cis-prenyl transferase) associated with purified rubber particles from Hevea brasiliensis, Parthenium argentatum and Ficus elastica can use magnesium and manganese interchangably to achieve maximum velocity. We define the concentration of activator required f...
Chromatin solubility was observed at several concentrations of various cations. Spermine and spermidine precipitated (50%) chromatin at about 0.2 mM, Ca2+ and Mg2+ at about 1-2 mM, and Na+ at about 100 mM. Further increases in cation concentration induced more aggregation, but eventually excess cation increased chromatin solubility so that 50% solubility was observed again at 60 mM Mg2+ and 180...
Heart mitochondria depleted of endogenous divalent cations by treatment with A23187 and EDTA swell in (a) K+ acetate or (b) K+ nitrate when an uncoupler is present. These mitochondria also exchange matrix 42K+ with external K+, Na+, or Li+ in a reaction that does not require respiration and is insensitive to uncouplers. Untreated control mitochondria do not swell in either medium nor do they sh...
The Mg2+-inhibited cation (MIC) current, believed to represent activity of TRPM7 channels, is found in lymphocytes and mast cells, cardiac and smooth muscle, and several other eukaryotic cell types. MIC current is activated during whole-cell dialysis with divalent-free internal solutions. Millimolar concentrations of intracellular Mg2+ (or other divalent metal cations) inhibit the channels in a...
Introduction: During its life cycle, malaria parasite has to traverse successfully through widely diverse environmental milieu of mosquito mid gut, RBC cytosol and human circulatory system where it is exposed to dramatic changes of extracellular milieu in terms of pH, osmolarity and ionic constituents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the possible changes in the cations (Na+, K+,...
