Calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation and dephosphorylation during fertilization in Dictyostelium discoideum.

Abstract:

:Many calmodulin-dependent biological phenomena are regulated by calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. In Dictyostelium discoideum, cell and pronuclear fusion during fertilization are both calmodulin-dependent biomembrane fusion events. Calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation and dephosphorylation activity was present in sexually developing D. discoideum cells suggesting it has a role during fertilization. In support of this, a discrete calmodulin-independent kinase was present only during cell and pronuclear fusion.

  • Evidence for a GTP-dependent increase in membrane permeability for calcium in NG108-15 microsomes.

    abstract::The effect of GTP on Ca2+ uptake and release was studied in a microsomal fraction isolated from neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells. GTP did not alter the ATP-dependent initial uptake of Ca2+ but markedly enhanced the efflux of Ca2+ from microsomes. GTP-dependent Ca2+ release requires the presence of millimol...
