Rapid structural changes in nerve fibers evoked by electric current pulses.

Abstract:

:Using the garfish olfactory nerve, the time-courses of lateral expansion (swelling) and birefringence changes in nerve fibers have been examined at the site of application of electric current pulses. The effects of various chemical agents on these non-electrical signs of rapid structural changes in the nerve fibers have been examined. These studies have shown that a pulse of outwardly-directed current through the superficial layer evokes a fast increase, followed by a slow, gradual increase, in the water-content of the nerve fibers. The full significance of these findings in studies of the process of nerve excitation is discussed.

  • Differential interaction of CrkII adaptor protein with platelet-derived growth factor alpha- and beta-receptors is determined by its internal tyrosine phosphorylation.

    abstract::CrkII is an intracellular adaptor protein involved in signal transduction by various growth factors. Activation of PDGF alpha-receptor resulted in its association with CrkII in vivo. In contrast, binding of CrkII to the PDGF beta-receptor was negligible, despite its becoming prominently phosphorylated. Bacterially exp...
