Abstract

Free [Ca2+] in agonist-sensitive internal stores of single intact cells was measured in situ in order to examine the role of [Ca2+] in modulating the store refilling process. BHK-21 fibroblasts were loaded with the low-affinity fluorescent calcium indicator mag-fura-2-AM such that >80% of the dye was trapped in organelles, where it reported [Ca2+] changes solely in an agonist- and thapsigargin-sensitive internal store. The rates of store reloading following stimulation by 100 nM bradykinin were essentially unchanged when cytosolic [Ca2+] was clamped to resting values with BAPTA-AM. In control cells, recharging of stores totally depended on the presence of external Ca2+, but pre-loading the cells with BAPTA-AM permitted efficient refilling in Ca2+-free, EGTA-containing external medium. Our results show: (i) Ca2+ stores normally are recharged by Ca2+ which must first transit the cytoplasm; (ii) an elevation in cytoplasmic [Ca2+] is not required to replenish Ca2+ stores; (iii) the activation of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump during the Ca2+ spike ordinarily results in complete extrusion of released Ca2+; and (iv) the buffering capacity of the cytoplasm is an essential component of the store refilling process. An interesting finding...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
