Taxol stabilizes synaptosomal microtubules without inhibiting acetylcholine release.

Abstract:

:Synaptosomes assemble an equatorial coil of microtubules during incubation at 37 degrees C. Stimulation of synaptosomes by veratridine or A23187 for 5 min results in disassembly of the microtubules. The role of microtubule disassembly in neurotransmitter release was investigated using the microtubule-stabilizing drug taxol. Taxol stimulates microtubule assembly in synaptosomes and prevents microtubule disassembly caused by A23187. However, taxol has no effect on the release of [3H]acetylcholine triggered by veratridine or A23187. These results suggest that microtubule turnover is not necessary for neurotransmitter release.

  • Topographical distribution of dopaminergic innervation and of dopaminergic receptors in the rat striatum. II. Distribution and characteristics of dopamine adenylate cyclase--interaction of d-LSD with dopaminergic receptors.

    abstract::The characteristics of dopamine adenylate cyclase in the rat striatum were first studied on homogenates of fresh tissues. In the assay conditions used, dopamine (10(-4) M) stimulated the enzyme activity by 250%. This effect was completely blocked by fluphenazine (10(-5) M; Ki=9X10(-9) M) and by phentolamine (10(-5) M;...
