Lipid-Membrane Affinity of Chimeric Metal-binding Green Fluorescent ProteinThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 200 - Trang 47-56 - 2004
V. Prachayasittikul, C. Isarankura Na Ayudhya, S. Boonpangrak, H.-J. Galla
The Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a useful marker to trace the expression of cellular proteins. However, little is known about changes in protein interaction properties after fusion to GFP. In this study, we present evidence for a binding affinity of chimeric cadmium-binding green fluorescent proteins to lipid membrane. This affinity has been observed in both cellular membranes and artificial...... hiện toàn bộ
Role of passive potassium fluxes in cell volume regulation in cultured HeLa cellsThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 87 - Trang 93-105 - 1985
D. R. Tivey, N. L. Simmons, J. F. Aiton
Cultured HeLa cells behave as ideal osmometers when subjected to hyperosmolar media, and show no volume regulatory behavior. In hypoosmolar solutions, cell swelling is not as great as predicted, and this is due largely to a loss of intracellular KCl. In hyperosmolar solutions there is a stimulation of the ouabain-insensitive but loop diuretic-sensitive86Rb+ (K+) pathway. Analysis of the K+, Na+ an...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of limited trypsin digestion on the renal Na+−H+ exchanger and its regulation by cAMP-Dependent protein kinaseThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 109 - Trang 233-241 - 1989
E. J. Weinman, W. P. Dubinsky, Q. Dinh, D. Steplock, S. Shenolikar
The Na+−H+ exchanger from solubilized rabbit renal brush border membranes is inhibited by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) mediated protein phosphorylation. To characterize this inhibitory response and its sensitivity to limited proteolysis, the activity of the transporter was assayed after reconstitution of the proteins into artificial lipid vesicles. Limited trypsin digestion increased the ba...... hiện toàn bộ
Reassessment of Models of Facilitated Transport and CotransportThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 234 - Trang 75-112 - 2010
Richard J. Naftalin
Most membrane transport models are determinate, requiring the transported ligand(s) to bind initially to a vacant site, which undergoes translation and releases ligand to the alternate side. The carrier reverts to its initial position to complete the net transport cycle. Ligand affinity may change during translation, but this must be compensated by an equivalent energy change(s) within the transpo...... hiện toàn bộ
Membrane permeability equations and their solutions for red cellsThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 34 - Trang 103-144 - 1977
Jerome H. Milgram, A. K. Solomon
The mathematical equations for the transport of nonelectrolytes across cell membranes are critically examined and cast in forms suitable for solution which involve fewer approximations than has heretofore been commonly done. For the case of red cells, the equations are developed to include the effect of the variation in apparent nonosmotic water owing to the variation in hemoglobin concentration a...... hiện toàn bộ
Oscillations of membrane potential in L cellsThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 35 - Trang 337-350 - 1977

Microelectrode characterization of the basolateral membrane of rabbit S3 proximal tubuleThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 108 - Trang 53-60 - 1989
Barbara A. Vance, Bruce A. Biagi
The purpose of this study was to characterize the basolateral membrane of the S3 segment of the rabbit proximal tubule using conventional and ion-selective microelectrodes. When compared with results from S1 and S2 segments, S3 cells under control conditions have a more negative basolateral membrane potential (V

Na+-coupled glycine transport in reticulocyte vesicles of distinct sidedness: Stoichiometry and symmetryThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 86 - Trang 37-44 - 1985
Andrew M. Weigensberg, Rhoda Blostein
Sodium-coupled glycine transport has been studied using membrane vesicles of distinct sidedness, either inside-out or right side-out, prepared from sheep reticulocytes. The activity is chloride dependent and characterized by high and low apparent affinities for glycine (K′

pH- and voltage-dependent conductances in toad skinThe Journal of Membrane Biology - Tập 148 - Trang 1-11 - 1995
F. Lacaz-Vieira
The present study focuses on two closely related topics on ion conductance in toad skins: (i) the interaction of apical protons with the apical voltage-dependent Cl−-activated channels of the mitochondriarich cells, and (ii) the description and characterization of a novel subject, a voltage-dependent H+-activated conductance. The Cl− conductance (G
