We studied a protein phosphorylation system that is regulated by the dopamine-mimetic ergot bromocriptine. Bromocriptine was found to inhibit selectively the endogenous phosphorylation of a threonine residue(s) in 50,000- and 60,000-dalton proteins in a synaptosome fraction. The bromocriptine-sensitive phosphorylation is stimulated by calcium and by calmodulin, and occurs predominantly in the b...
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is composed of the heavy chain with the receptor-binding site and the translocation domain and the light chain with endopeptidase activity that cleaves the SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex, an essential molecule for membrane fusion. Its extraordinarily high toxicity depends on the affinity of the receptor-binding s...
Previous studies have demonstrated that the branched spines of the mossy fiber-CA3 hippocampal synapse contain a particularly large number of polyribosomes (Chicurel and Harris, 1989, 1992). We analyzed a preparation of synaptosomes isolated from this region and have found it to contain a restricted RNA population: certain mRNAs, presumably derived from the dendritic spines and the fine astrocy...
Incubation of synaptosomal plasma membranes (SPM) with liposomes of phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PIN) or phosphatidylglycerol (PGL), led to an increase of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity at concentrations of 0.1-1 mumol phospholipids per mg SPM protein. The use of higher concentrations (1-7 mumol/mg protein), however, led to a progressive inhibition of the activity with r...
To establish an assay system for evaluation of the uptake and reversed transport of glutamate, we examined the effects of Na(+)-concentration and pharmacological agents on the extracellular glutamate concentration ([Glu](o)) in rat cortical synaptosomes in vitro. There was a decrease and increase of the [Glu](o) at high and low Na(+) concentrations, respectively, in a Ca(2+)-free medium. The ch...
We have used flash photolysis of caged Ca2+ and membrane capacitance measurements to probe exocytosis in chromaffin cells at low concentrations of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) (<10 microM). We observed a small pool of granules that is more sensitive to [Ca2+]i than the previously described "readily releasable pool." Upon activation of PKC, this "highly Ca2+-sensitive pool" is enhanced in size t...
Tumour cells secrete exosomes that are involved in the remodelling of the tumour-stromal environment and promoting malignancy. The mechanisms governing tumour exosome release, however, remain incompletely understood. Here we show that tumour cell exosomes secretion is controlled by pyruvate kinase type M2 (PKM2), which is upregulated and phosphorylated in tumours. During exosome secretion, phos...
Alongside rodent brain slices and primary neuronal cultures, synaptosomes (isolated nerve terminals) have been an important model system for studying the molecular mechanisms of synaptic function in the brain. Synaptosomes were first prepared in the late 1950s by Whittaker and colleagues and were instrumental in studying synaptic structure and defining the functional components of the synapse, ...
