    Notes: Abstract: The effects of kainic acid were investigated in preparations of rat brain synaptosomes. It was found that kainic acid inhibited competitively the uptake of d-[3H]aspartate, with a Ki of approximately 0.3 mm. Kainic acid also caused release of two excitatory amino acid neurotranstnitters, aspartate and glutamate, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, but had no effect on the content of γ-aminobutyric acid. Concomitant with the release of aspartate and glutamate, depolarization of the synaptosomal membrane and an increase in intracellular calcium were observed, with no measurable change in the concentration of internal sodium ions. The increase in intrasynaptosomal calcium and decrease in transmem-brane electrical potential were prevented by the addition of glutamate, whereas the kainate-induced release of ra-dioactive aspartate was substantially inhibited by lowering the concentration of calcium in the external medium. It is postulated that kainic acid reacts with a class of glutamate receptors located in a subpopulation of synaptosomes, presumably derived from the glutamatergic and aspartatergic neuronal pathways, which possesses high-affinity uptake system(s) for glutamate and/or aspartate. Activation of these receptors causes opening of calcium channels, influx of calcium into the synaptosomes, and depolarization of the synaptosomal plasma membrane with consequent release of amino acid neurotransmitters.

    Notes: Abstract— Protein synthesis and axonal transport have been studied in regenerating peripheral nerves. Sciatic nerves of bullfrogs were unilaterally crushed or cut. The animals were killed 1, 2, or 4 weeks later, and 8th and 9th dorsal root ganglia removed together with sciatic nerves and dorsal roots. The ganglia were selectively labeled in vitro with [35S]-methionine. Labeled proteins, in dorsal root ganglia and rapidly transported to ligatures placed on the sciatic nerves and dorsal roots, were analyzed by two-dimensional polyacryl-amide gel electrophoresis. Qualitative analysis of protein patterns revealed no totally new proteins synthesized or rapidly transported in regenerating nerves. However, quantitative comparison of regenerating and contralateral control nerves revealed significant differences in abundance for some of the proteins synthesized in dorsal root ganglia, and for a few of the rapidly transported proteins. Quantitative analysis of rapidly transported proteins in both the peripheral processes (spinal nerves) and central processes (dorsal roots) revealed similar changes despite the fact that the roots were undamaged. The overall lack of drastic changes seen in protein synthesis and transport suggests that the neuron in its program of normal maintenance synthesizes and supplies most of the materials required for axon regrowth.

    Notes: Synaptosomes isolated on isosmotic Ficoll density gradients are an effective model for some aspects of neuronal function. They maintain metabolic energy levels ([ATP]/[ADP] [Pi1) and transplasma membrane electrical potentials very similar to those of neurons in the intact brain. The concentration of K+ in the external medium (K+-sensitive electrode), O2 uptake, and cytochrome c reduction (550 nm minus 540 nm) were simultaneously monitored in synaptosomal suspensions. Oxidative metabolism is the primary source of intrasynaptosomal ATP and at pH 7.4 anaerobiosis results in K+ leakage at 4.5 ± 0.8 nmol/min/mg protein with glucose as substrate and 10.7 T 1.9 nmol/min/mg protein with lactate plus pyruvate (10:1) as substrate. Reintroduction of oxygen initiates complete (ouabain-sensitive) reuptake of K. at initial rates of 35.4 ± 3.2 nmol/min/mg protein and 18 ± 1.7 nmol K-/min/mg protein, respectively. The rates of K+ leakage and reuptake fall when the pH is lowered from 7.4 to 6.0 but recover fully if the pH is raised to the original value. The rates of K1 release and uptake decrease when the Na- concentration in the medium is decreased and increase when the Ca2- concentration is decreased. The intrasynaptosomal [K+] under aerobic conditions was 77.3 ± 3 MM and the calculated K+ diffusion potential was -72 mV. Anaerobic incubation of the synaptosomes for up to 20 min and at pH values from 7.4 to 6.0 did not produce irreversible impairment of any of the measured variables. These results suggest that permanent loss of brain function following prolonged hypoxia and ischemia is not due to irreversible damage to the synapses with respect to these parameters but rather to impairment of some other neuronal functions.

    The Effect of Acute Hypoxia on Synaptosomes from Rat Brain (1980)

    Notes: Abstract: Synaptosomes have been isolated from the brains of nonanesthetized and nembutal-anesthetized rats subjected to 30 min hypoxia induced by breathing 7% oxygen in nitrogen. The respiratory rate was depressed in synaptosomes from starved hypoxic animals but was not significantly different from the respective control values in preparations from fed hypoxic animals, anesthetized animals, and hypoxic nonanesthetized animals allowed to recover from the hypoxic episode by 60 min of normoxic conditions. Observations are also reported concerning the levels of various metabolites in the synaptosomes isolated from the brains of the same groups of animals. It is suggested that hypoxia results in damage to the synaptosomal and/or mitochondrial membrane, which modifies substrate oxidation in the mitochondria and decreases availability of reducing equivalents for the respiratory chain. Results obtained on afflicted and recovered animals indicate that synaptosomal preparations provide a useful model for the study of hypoxic damage.

    Neurotransmitter Metabolism in Rat Brain Synaptosomes: Effect of Anoxia and pH (1982)

    Notes: Abstract: Synaptosomes isolated from the rat cerebral cortex by means of a discontinuous Ficoll gradient carry out net, sodium-dependent, veratridine-sensitive accumulation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. The intrasynaptosomal contents of the four neurotransmitters are: 30.4 nmol/mg protein, 17.4 pmol/mg protein, 13.5 pmol/mg protein, and 21.2 pmol/mg protein, respectively. Anaerobic preincubation of synaptosomes causes an irreversible decrease in the rates of neurotransmitter accumulation but does not affect the rates of their release. The inhibitory effect of anaerobiosis is enhanced by increased concentration of [H+] (decreased pH) in the medium. The most sensitive is the uptake of dopamine, the least that of serotonin. The rates of neurotransmitter efflux are unaffected by anaerobiosis. Synaptosomes leak catecholamines, GABA, and serotonin into the medium when subjected to anaerobiosis, and reintroduction of oxygen is accompanied by a rapid reaccumulation of all four neurotransmitters. It is concluded that: (1) Responses of synaptosomes to anaerobiosis are remarkably similar to the behavior of intact brain in hypoxia and ischemia. (2) Neurotransmitter uptake systems are more sensitive to short periods of anaerobiosis than are either the energy metabolism or ion transport. (3) Some neurotransmitter uptake systems are more easily damaged by anaerobiosis than others.

    Notes: Abstract: Cellular energetic parameters including the intramitochondrial and cytosolic [NAD+]/[NADH] ratios, the cellular [ATP]/[ADP][Pi and [creatine phosphate]/[creatine] ratios, the concentration of cytochrome c and its redox state and the respiratory rate were studied in suspensions of rat brain synapto-somes isolated from nembutal-anesthetized and nonanesthetized animals. The ratio of [3-hydroxybutyrate] to [acetoacetate] was 2.0 in synaptosomes isolated from nonanesthetized rats and 5.55 in those from anesthetized animals. The [lactate]/[pyruvate] ratio was 3.8 in the former and 10.9 in the latter preparation. The [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] was 3838 M−1 in the synaptosomes from anesthetized rats and 840 M−1 in those from nonanesthetized animals and the [creatine phosphate]/[creatine] ratios were 0.79 and 0.39, respectively. Cytochrome c was about 15% reduced in both preparations; however, the mitochon-drial cytochrome concentration was almost twofold higher in the synaptosomes from nonanesthetized animals. Calculations of the free energy relationships between the mitochondrial redox reactions and ATP synthesis showed that in synaptosomes isolated from the brains of nembutal-anesthetized rats the first two sites of oxidative phosphorylation were at near-equilibrium, in agreement with observations for intact cells and tissues. The energetic parameters for synaptosomes from anesthetized rats are very similar to the values for intact whole brain, whereas those for synaptosomes from nonanesthetized rats are lower and suggest that nembutal anesthesia protects against some irreversible damage to the synaptosome during isolation. It is concluded that synaptosomes isolated from brains of nembutal-anesthetized rats can be used as a convenient model system for studies of neuronal metabolism.

    On the Identification of α- and β-Tubulin Subunits (1982)

    Notes: Abstract: Confusion appears to have arisen in the literature regarding the designation of α-and β-tubulin in polyacrylamide gels. The presence or absence of 8 M-urea in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gels leads to different patterns for unalkylated tubulin subunits (and other proteins), making difficult the designation of the α and β subunits by original definition using electrophoretic mobility in the molecular weight dimension. The specific biochemical property of posttranslational tyrosylation of the α subunit has been used to identify further this subunit. Under all conditions tested, the β subunit has been found to be more acidic than the α subunit, with isoelectric point differences that agree with theoretical and published values. If the tubulin subunits are reduced and alkylated, the β subunit migrates more rapidly in SDS polyacrylamide gels, with or without urea present. However, unalkylated tubulin subunits can comigrate or even reverse their relative mobility if 8 M-urea-SDS polyacrylamide gels are used for subunit separation. The results also confirm the earlier reports that the post-translational tyrosylation of protein appears exclusively restricted to α-tubulin and can be demonstrated in an in vivo situation. In addition, the results suggest that only the α2 subunit of tubulin is tyrosylated.
