A role for calpactin in calcium-dependent exocytosis in adrenal chromaffin cells

Abstract: Stimulation of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells results in a rise in the concentration of cytosolic calcium which triggers the release of catecholamines by exocytosis. Several cytosolic proteins that bind to secretory granule membranes in a calcium-dependent manner have been implicated in exocytosis and some belong to a family of calcium-binding proteins, the annexins. One of these, calpactin, is a tetramer consisting of two heavy and two light chains (relative molecular masses 36,000 and 10,000 respectively) a… Show more

“…It is possible that the activation of PKC causes the retention of a cytosolic protein, required for exocytosis, within the permeabilized cell. A possible candidate is annexin II (calpactin I), which has been shown to be necessary for exocytosis in the permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cell (Ali et al, 1989). Pretreatment of chromaffin cells with PMA leads to an increase in membrane bound annexin II, retarding its loss on permeabilization with digitonin (Sarafian et al, 1991).…”

“…Given the results obtained by Creutz et al (1987), Ali et al (1989), Burgoyne (1990), and Saraflan et al (1991) investigated the role of annexin 2 in digitonin-or streptolysin 0-permeabilized cells. Soluble heterotetrameric annexin 2 was shown Received September 18.…”

“…Although annexins are not directly fusogenic, the concept that they may mediate exocytotic events is based in part on evidence that, in the presence of Ca2", annexin II can bind to, aggregate, and (in conjunction with arachidonic acid and low pH) fuse secretory vesicle membranes (2,30).…”
