A central question concerning vision is the identity of the biochemical pathway that underlies phototransduction. The large size of the ventral photoreceptors of Limulus polyphemus renders them a favourite preparation for investigating this problem. The fact that a single photon opens approximately 1,000 ionic channels in these photoreceptors suggests the need for an internal transmitter. We have investigated whether inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) functions as such an internal transmitter, given that InsP3 may act as an intracellular messenger in other cellular processes. Here we report that in Limulus, intracellular pressure injection of InsP3 both excites and adapts ventral photoreceptors in a manner similar to light. 相似文献

Point defects largely govern the electrochemical properties of oxides: at low defect concentrations, conductivity increases with concentration; however, at higher concentrations, defect-defect interactions start to dominate. Thus, in searching for electrochemically active materials for fuel cell anodes, high defect concentration is generally avoided. Here we describe an oxide anode formed from lanthanum-substituted strontium titanate (La-SrTiO3) in which we control the oxygen stoichiometry in order to break down the extended defect intergrowth regions and create phases with considerable disordered oxygen defects. We substitute Ti in these phases with Ga and Mn to induce redox activity and allow more flexible coordination. The material demonstrates impressive fuel cell performance using wet hydrogen at 950 degrees C. It is also important for fuel cell technology to achieve efficient electrode operation with different hydrocarbon fuels, although such fuels are more demanding than pure hydrogen. The best anode materials to date--Ni-YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) cermets--suffer some disadvantages related to low tolerance to sulphur, carbon build-up when using hydrocarbon fuels (though device modifications and lower temperature operation can avoid this) and volume instability on redox cycling. Our anode material is very active for methane oxidation at high temperatures, with open circuit voltages in excess of 1.2 V. The materials design concept that we use here could lead to devices that enable more-efficient energy extraction from fossil fuels and carbon-neutral fuels. 相似文献

Stepwise phosphorylation of myo-inositol leading to myo-inositol hexakisphosphate in Dictyostelium 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Although myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6; phytate) is the most abundant inositol phosphate in nature and probably has a wide variety of functions, neither the route of its synthesis from myo-inositol nor its metabolic relationships with other inositol-containing compounds (such as the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, Ins(1,4,5)P3) are known. Here we report that the pathway by which InsP6 is synthesized in the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium, and in cell-free preparations derived from them, is catalysed by a series of soluble ATP-dependent kinases independently of the metabolism of both phosphatidylinositol and Ins(1,4,5)P3. The intermediates between myo-inositol and InsP6 are Ins3P, Ins(3,6)P2, Ins(3,4,6)P3, Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 and Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5. The 3- and 5-phosphates of InsP6 take part in futile cycles in which Ins(1,2,4,5,6)P5 and Ins(1,2,3,4,6)P5 are rapidly formed by dephosphorylation of InsP6, only to be rephosphorylated to yield their precursor. 相似文献

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins P3) is a second messenger releasing intracellular Ca2+ into the cytosol. It has recently been proposed that inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins P4), which is formed from Ins P3 by Ins P3-3-kinase, acts with Ins P3 as a second messenger by promoting extracellular Ca2+ entry. It has been suggested that Ins P3 itself can act to stimulate Ca2+ uptake from the extracellular fluid, although a physiological function for Ins P4 was not excluded. Transmembrane currents can now be measured in single cells by voltage clamping under conditions where the intracellular perfusion fluid can be changed several times during individual experiments. We have used this method to test the effects of Ins P3 and Ins P4 on the Ca2+-activated K+ current, and now show that neither Ins P3 alone nor Ins P4 alone can activate a sustained current, whereas Ins P3 and Ins P4 in combination evoke a sustained increase in Ca2+-activated K+ current which is dependent on external Ca2+. 相似文献
