Calcium-regulated exocytosis is required for cell membrane resealing.

Abstract: Abstract. Using confocal microscopy, we visualized exocytosis during membrane resealing in sea urchin eggs and embryos. Upon wounding by a laser beam, both eggs and embryos showed a rapid burst of localized Ca 2+-regulated exocytosis. The rate of exocytosis was correlated quantitatively with successfully resealing. In embryos, whose activated surfaces must first dock vesicles before fusion, exocytosis and membrane resealing were inhibited by neurotoxins that selectively cleave the SNARE complex proteins, synap… Show more

“…In contrast, membrane repair occurred in the presence of cytochalasin D and cycloheximide. These findings were congruent with those that have been reported for the resealing of physical membrane lesions (20,21). With the exception of microinjection, methods do not exist to deliver the isolated domain to the cytosol of living cells.…”

“…This is best demonstrated in red blood cells (40). However, most plasma membrane lesions, particularly if they are large, repair only if intracellular lipids are shuttled to the plasma membrane by an active, energy-dependent, and Ca 2ϩ -regulated process (41)(42)(43). The insertion of lipids into the plasma membrane causes a fall in plasma membrane tension, which in turn promotes "self-sealing" by lateral lipid flow (44,45).…”

“…Small disruptions on the order of micron-diameter evoke the Ca 2ϩ -dependent exocytosis of vesicles near the wound site, which is essential for successful membrane resealing (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). The recruitment of vesicles to docking sites near the disruption is dependent on the motor proteins, kinesin and myosin, and the activity of Ca 2ϩ /calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMK) 1 (2,4,9).…”
