Light induced calcium binding to mangrove PS II particles

AbstractA combination calcium selective and oxygen electrode system was used to measure the Ca2+ and O2 concentrations of a solution surrounding mangrove PS II particles. Concomitant uptake of Ca2+ and oxygen evolution in the light were observed. The Ca2+ bound during the light was released in a subsequent dark period. The Ca2+ binding was dependent on both chlorophyll and Ca2+ concentrations. Up to 3000 Ca2+ were calculated to be bound per reaction centre

Effect of depolarizing concentrations of potassium on calcium uptake and metabolism in rat liver

AbstractExposure of perfused livers of fed rats to 60 mM K+ induces rapid responses in the Ca2+-sensitive metabolic events, glycogenolysis, cytoplasmic and mitochondrial NADH/NAD ratios and octanoate oxidation. All increase within 45 s of K+ addition. Metabolic responses were not observed following K+ addition to livers perfused in the absence of added Ca2+. Movements of Ca2+ into the liver were suggested from experiments in which 45Ca2+ uptake was measured. The Ca2+ antagonists verapamil, diltiazem and Ni2+ essentially abolished changes to tissue metabolism and Ca2+ fluxes induced by K+ addition. K+-induced changes were consistent with Ca2+ channel activiation.LiverPotassium depolarizationGlycogenolysisCalcium antagonis
