A dual function activity-dependent, muscle-specific enhancer from rat nicotinic acetylcholine receptor δ-subunit gene
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996-11)
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) mediate communication between nerve and muscle. The expression of these receptors increases dramatically during muscle development when myoblasts are fusing into multinucleated ...
Ornithine decarboxylase activity in retinal explants of goldfish undergoing optic nerve regeneration
(Elsevier, 1981-06)
Retinal explants cultured in the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS) exhibit an increase in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase which is maximal several hours after explanation. The measured activity of this enzyme is ...
Inhibition of polyphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase by aminoglycoside antibiotics
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1985-08)
The calcium-activated phosphodiesteratic hydrolysis of 32 P-labeled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate in prelabeled nerve ending membranes is inhibited by the aminoglycosides neomycin ...
Role for calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in coupling muscle activity to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene expression in rat
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-06-05)
Neurally evoked muscle electrical activity suppresses nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) gene expression in extrajunctional domains of adult muscle fibers. It has been proposed that this regulation is mediated by ...
Increased activity of ornithine decarboxylase in goldfish following optic nerve crush
(Elsevier, 1981-06)
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity increased in goldfish retina, brain, and kidney several days following unilateral intraorbital optic nerve crush. Activity in both retinas followed a similar time course, an elevation ...
Properties of endogenous, membrane-associated sialidase activity (N-acetylneuraminidase) of the goldfish visual system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1983-01)
The endogenous sialidase (N-acetylneuraminidase) activity of membranes prepared from goldfish retina and optic tectum displays characteristics similar to those reported for neural plasma membrane sialidases of other ...
Regulation of Myo-Inositol Homeostasis in Differentiated Human NT2-N Neurons
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-05)
We have investigated the possible role of second messengers on inositol homeostasis in NT2-N cells, human central nervous system neurons obtained by terminal differentiation of teratocarcinoma precursors. Uptake of inositol ...
Substitution of D-Trp 32 in NPY Destabilizes the Binding Transition State to the Y1 Receptor Site in SK-N-MC Cell Membranes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
The retention rate of the spin label 3-isothiocyanto methyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl oxyl spin label (proxyl) attached to the porcine N-acetyl-NPY peptide and the porcine N-acetyl-D-Trp 32 -NPY peptide at Lys 4 ...
Protein synthesis and transport in the regenerating goldfish visual system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1982-06)
The nature of the proteins synthesized in the goldfish retina and axonally transported to the tectum during optic nerve regeneration has been examined. Electrophoretic analysis of labeled soluble retinal proteins by ...
