    Notes: Summary The intestinal secretagogues ricinoleate and deoxycholate have been tested for a capacity to form complexes with Ca2+ ions and to affect the passive equilibration of Ca2+ ions across the jejunal brush border membrane. Both of these agents formed butanol-soluble Ca2+ complexes in a model phase distribution system. They also promote the passive uptake and efflux of Ca2+ across brush border vesicles in a concentrationdependent manner. The levels of ricinoleate and deoxycholate that increase the rate of transvesicular Ca2+ movement are in the 100 to 300 μm range. Concentrations as high as 1.0mm had no significant detergent effects in vesicles as measured by release of entrapped sorbitol. The kinetics of Ca2+ uptake and efflux are similar in brush border vesicles treated with A23187, ricinoleate, or deoxycholate. The influx rates observed in this study were high enough to cause the collapse of a Ca2+ gradient, which had been generated by Ca-Mg ATPase enzyme activity in the brush border membrane. Ricinoleate did not affect Ca-Mg ATPase activity at concentrations used in this study, but deoxycholate was inhibitory, indicating two potential modes for elevation of intracellular Ca2+ content by deoxycholate. When compared with the effects of the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, it appears that both ricinoleate and deoxycholate could have significant intestinal secretory activity due to this Ca2+ ionophore property. It is also noteworthy that, at least in this model system, potential secretory effects are expressed at concentrations significantly below levels that have been associated with detergent effects or altered epithelial morphology.

    Structure-activity relationships in sex attractants for north American noctuid moths (1982)

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Sex attractants known for 145 species of noctuid moths have many common features both as to chemical constituents and to their relationships in blends. The great majority of constituents are straight-chain (Z)-alkenols, -alkenals, or -alkenyl acetates of even carbon number (10 through 16). The unsaturation is nonterminal in odd-numbered positions (5 through 11). In effective lures, these components are blended in specific ratios and the components in a sex pheromone or sex attractant blend are structurally related by “one-change” steps. This means that any blend component differs from one or more other components by a single structural alteration, such as a change in double bond position, or a change in carbon chain length, or a change in the oxygen function. For the few multicomponent systems known in detail, the central place in the “one-change” framework is occupied by the predominant blend component. Different patterns of occurrence of lure components occur in the subfamilies Acronictinae, Noctuinae, Hadeninae, Cuculliinae, Amphipyrinae, Heliothidinae, Plusiinae, Acontiinae, and Pantheinae, and some subfamilies are as yet without known lures. Some guiding principles for elucidation of blend compositions for unstudied species are presented; these guidelines can also be used in improvement of some synthetic blends of unsatisfactory quality.

    Calcium-dependence of catecholamine release from bovine adrenal medullary cells after exposure to intense electric fields (1982)
    Springer
    The journal of membrane biology 68 (1982), S. 107-140 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1424
    Keywords: exocytosis ; calcium ; adrenal medulla

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary By subjecting isolated adrenal medullary cells to intense electric fields of brief duration it is possible to gain access to the cell interior without impairing the ability of the cell to undergo exocytosis. After a single exposure to a field of 2 kV/cm, τ=200 μsec, adrenal medullary cells behave as if their plasma membrane contains two pores of effective radius 2 nm. At 37°C these ‘equivalent pores’ remain patent for up to 1 hr. The formation and stability of these ‘pores’ is not affected by the Ca content of the bathing solution. The ‘pores’ permit externally applied catecholamine and Ca-EGTA to equilibrate rapidly with the cell water. Cells rendered ‘leaky’ in K glutamate medium containing 5mm Mg-ATP and EGTA to give an ionized Ca close to 10−8 m release less than 1% of their total catecholamine. These same cells can release up to 30% of their catecholamine when exposed to 10−5 m Ca. This Ca-dependent release is unaffected by Ca-channel blockers such as D600. Catecholamine release in response to a calcium challenge only seems to occur during the first few minutes whilst the Ca concentration is changing, and the extent of release depends on the final Ca concentration achieved. Half-maximal release occurs at about 1 μm Ca, and this value is independent of the EGTA concentration used to buffer the ionized Ca. The relation between ionized Ca and catecholamine release is best fitted by a requirement for 2 Ca ions. Calcium-evoked release of catecholamine is associated with the release of dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DβH) but not lactate dehydrogenase. The ratio DβH/catecholamine released is the same as that in stimulated intact cells and perfused glands. The time course of appearance in the external medium of DβH and catecholamine is identical. Transmission electron microscopy of ‘leaky’ cells exposed to 10−8 m Ca reveals no marked differences from unstimulated intact cells. The cytoplasm of ‘leaky’ cells exposed to 10−5 m Ca contains large membrane-bounded vacuoles. When secretion is caused to take place in the presence of horseradish peroxidase, this marker is found within the vacuoles. Ca-dependent release of both catecholamine and DβH requires Mg-ATP. Cells equilibrated with Ca in the absence of Mg-ATP can be triggered to undergo exocytosis by the addition of Mg-ATP. In the absence of Mg, ATP alone is ineffective. Of a variety of other nucleotides tested, none is as effective as ATP. Mg-ATP affects the extent of exocytosis and not its apparent affinity for Ca. Replacement of glutamate as the major anion by chloride results in a marked reduction in Ca-dependent release of both catecholamine and DβH. Chloride causes a small increase in Ca-independent release of catecholamine, a large reduction in the extent of exocytosis, and a decrease in the apparent affinity of exocytosis for Ca. Of a variety of anions examined, their order of effectiveness at supporting Ca-dependent exocytosis is glutamate−〉acetate−〉Cl−〉Br−〉SCN−. Exocytosis is not obviously affected by replacing K by Na or sucrose or by altering the pH over the range pH 6.6 to 7.8. Raising the free Mg concentration reduces the extent of Ca-dependent exocytosis and also its apparent affinity for calcium. Calcium-dependent exocytosis in ‘leaky’ cells is largely unaffected by (i) a variety of agonists and antagonists of the nicotinic receptor; (ii) agents that disrupt microtubules and microfilaments; (iii) phalloidin; (iv) vanadate; (v) inhibitors of anion permeability; (vi) protease inhibitors; and (vii) agents that dissipate the vesicle pH gradient and potential. It is partially inhibited by (i) certain antipsychotic drugs; (ii) a rise in osmotic pressure, (iii) lowering the temperature below 20°C, and (iv) N-ethyl maleimide.

    Isolation and properties of Ca2+-transporting glycoprotein and peptide from beef heart mitochondria (1982)

    Notes: Abstract The 40,000-dalton glycoprotein and 2000-dalton peptide inducing selective Ca2+-transport through bilayer lipid membranes were isolated from beef heart homogenate and mitochondria. Micromolar concentrations of these substances were found to increase the conductivity of membranes by 3–4 orders. Transmembrane Ca2+ gradient induces an electric potential difference whose magnitude is close to the theoretical for ideal Ca2+ selectivity. The inhibitor of mitochondrial Ca2+ transport, ruthenium red, abolishes both the glycoprotein-and peptide-induced Ca2+ transport in bilayer lipid membranes. Thiol groups essential for Ca2+ transport activity were revealed in the glycoprotein and peptide. Addition of these substances to rat liver mitochondria induces Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the state 3 respiration that can be released by uncouplers (oligomycin-like effect).

    Notes: Abstract A new site of secretion of a chemical trail marker was found on the sternum at the tip of the last abdominal segment of the larva of the eastern tent caterpillarMalacosoma americanum. Larvae marked from this site by drawing their sterna along the substrate when they extended existing trails in search of food and again when they established recruitment trails to food-finds. Differences in the quantity or quality of the marker deposited by exploring and recruiting caterpillars may account for the greater activity of the recruitment trails.

    Notes: Abstract None of the isolated degradation products of (Z)-11-hexadecenal [(Z)-11-HDAL] affected the catches of either tobacco budworm [Heliothis virescens (F.)] or bollworm [H. zea (Boddie)] moths when dispensed with pheromone from cotton dental rolls in cone traps. Also, none of the degradation products of (Z)-9-tetradecenal [(Z)-9-TDAL] had an effect on trap catches of tobacco budworm moths. Two of the three chemicals that have previously been identified in ovipositor washes of tobacco budworms but that are absent in those of bollworms caused a reduction in capture of bollworms: (Z)-9-TDAL (1.0 μg/trap) caused a 96% reduction in trap catch and (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol (20.0 μg/trap) caused a similar reduction. Tetradencenal (40 μg/trap) had no effect on trap catch.

    Notes: Abstract Pheromone levels in the glands of individual female moths of the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana), the western spruce budworm (C. occidentalis), the navel orangeworm (Amyelois transitella), and the corn earworm (Heliothis zea) were quantitively measured by means of a new bacterial bioluminescence assay specific for aldehydes. The sensitivity and rapidity of the bioluminescent assay enabled studies to be conducted on the dependence of the pheromone levels in the spruce budworm on age and the effect of photoperiod on the pheromone levels in the corn earworm. The bioluminescence assay provides a rapid and sensitive approach for studying aldehyde pheromone levels and their regulation in insects.

    Notes: Abstract A newly developed bioluminescent assay was used to measure quantitatively the amount of (E)-11-tetradecenal, the major component of the sex pheromone of the spruce budworm, trapped on Porapak Q®. The bioluminescent response was linearly related to the amount of aldehyde either deposited on the absorbent or trapped from an airstream. However, the recovery of pheromone from Porapak was dependent on whether the air was prefiltered (through Porapak) or taken directly from the atmosphere. Furthermore, pheromone on Porapak was lost with time during the flow of air through the absorbent, indicating that trapping of aldehyde pheromone should be conducted for short periods of time for optimal recoveries. The applicability of the assay system for the rapid and direct measurement of the release rates of aldehyde pheromone lures was demonstrated for pheromone lures used for baiting spruce budworm traps.
