Contractile agonists preferentially activate CL- over K+ currents in arterial myocytes.

Abstract:

:Simultaneous patch-clamp and Ca2+ fluorescence measurements have revealed depolarising oscillations in the membrane potential of arterial (pulmonary) myocytes in response to adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and endothelin-1 (ET-1). These oscillations (i) are due to the preferential activation of Ca(2+)-activated Cl-, over K+ currents, (ii) occur through a mechanism involving Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores and (iii) are likely to promote constriction. These results provide a novel perspective into the relative contribution and importance of Ca2+ activated Cl- and K+ channels in controlling membrane potential of arterial smooth muscle in response to contractile agonists.

  • Phosphorylation of the centrosomal protein, Cep169, by Cdk1 promotes its dissociation from centrosomes in mitosis.

    abstract::Cep169 is a centrosomal protein conserved among vertebrates. In our previous reports, we showed that mammalian Cep169 interacts and collaborates with CDK5RAP2 to regulate microtubule (MT) dynamics and stabilization. Although Cep169 is required for MT regulation, its precise cellular function remains largely elusive. H...
