Abstract
Using the Physarum polycephalum, plasmodium, a giant amoeboid cell with the strongly pronounced auto-oscillatory mode of motility, which exhibits regularities of motile behavior common with those of tissue cells and has the same signal systems, the possibility of the participation of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate in the regulation of the contractile activity has been studied. The effect of neomycin as a substrate inhibitor of phospholipase C, which binds with high affinity to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate in the membrane, on force oscillations generated by plasmodial strands under isometric conditions and after the addition of the protein kinase C inhibitors staurosporine, UCN-01, and Ro-318220, separatelyand in combination with the calmodulin inhibitor calmidazolium has been examined. It has been shown that neomycin at pH 7.0 and concentrations of 0.1-5.0 mM stops contractile oscillations for 10-30 min but then they begin to gradually restore; the oscillation period at the initial stage of the restoration is.shorter than it was earlier and then increases due to the elongation of the contraction phase. Analysis of data obtained is in favor of the assumption that the plasmodial membrane contains MARCKS-like prote...Continue Reading
