Possible involvement of actin and myosin in Ca2+ transport through the plasma membrane of chromaffin cells.

Abstract:

:The exocytosis of catecholamines by chromaffin cells following stimulation (e.g. by acetylcholine) is accompanied by a rise in the level of intracellular free Ca2+. Actually, secretion can be induced merely by making the cells leaky to Ca2+ from the external medium. We have recently demonstrated that secretion can be increased by the introduction of DNase-I, the F-actin depolymerizing agent, or of heavy meromyosin, the enzymatically active fragment of myosin. Suspecting that these changes might be associated with a higher intracellular level of Ca2+, we now have measured the influx of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin cells which have undergone fusion with DNase-I- or with heavy meromyosin-loaded liposomes. In both cases, a marked increase in Ca2+ uptake has been observed, which could be abolished by Co2+ ions (a Ca2+ channel blocker), suggesting an intimate involvement of the cellular actomyosin system in the process of Ca2+ ions transport through the Ca2+ channels of the plasma membrane.

  • Why collagens best survived in fossils? Clues from amino acid thermal stability.

    abstract::Explaining why type I collagens are preferentially preserved in the geological time scale remains a challenge.
