Ion compartmentalization in frog oocytes as demonstrated by X-ray microanalysis.

Abstract:

:The distributions of K, Na, Mg and Ca within frog ovarian and oviductal oocytes were studied by electron probe wavelength dispersive X-ray microanalysis. An important heterogeneity could be found both in nuclear and jelly coated oocytes. The highest K, Mg and, to a lesser extent, Na concentrations were found in the pigmented area of the peripheral cytoplasm. There is a certain correlation between the distribution of K and Mg. The concentration of K (but not of Na) in the nucleus was higher than that in the non-pigmented cytoplasm. The distribution of Ca was rather uniform. The high amounts of K, Na and S determined in the oocyte jelly coat seem to have become accumulated by ion-exchange mechanism. Oocyte pigment granules are believed to be the site of ion compartmentalization and to play a role in regulation of intracellular ionic composition.

  • Biophoton emissions from cell cultures: biochemical evidence for the plasma membrane as the primary source.

    abstract::Photon emissions were measured at ambient temperature (21°C) in complete darkness once per min from cultures of 10(6) cells during the 12 h following removal from 37°C. The energy of emission was about 10(-20) J/s/cell. Of 8 different cell lines, B16-BL6 (mouse melanoma cells) demonstrated the most conspicuous emissio...
