g protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels mediate depotentiation of long-term potentiation

Biology

Svetlanka [38]2 years ago
8 0

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is considered a cellular correlate of learning and memory. The presence of G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K(+) (GIRK) channels near excitatory synapses on dendritic spines suggests their possible involvement in synaptic plasticity. However, whether activity-dependent regulation of  channels affects excitatory synaptic plasticity is unknown. In a companion article we have reported activity-dependent regulation of GIRK channel density in cultured hippocampal neurons that requires activity oF receptors (NMDAR) and protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and takes place within 15 min. In this study, we performed whole-cell recordings of cultured hippocampal neurons and found that NMDAR activation increases basal GIRK current and GIRK channel activation mediated by adenosine A(1) receptors, but not GABA(B) receptors. Given the similar involvement of NMDARs, adenosine  receptors, and PP1 in depotentiation of LTP caused by low-frequency stimulation that immediately follows LTP-inducing high-frequency stimulation, we wondered whether NMDAR-induced increase in GIRK channel surface density and current may contribute to the molecular mechanisms underlying this specific depotentiation. Remarkably, GIRK2 null mutation or GIRK channel blockade abolishes depotentiation of LTP, demonstrating that GIRK channels are critical for depotentiation, one form of excitatory synaptic plasticity.

Answer:

Photons

Explanation:

Photons are the only source of energy for photosynthesis. Photons are absorbed by chlorophyll molecules within Photosystems I and II (and antennae complexes), generating higher-energy ‘excited’ states of the photosystems which can carry out energetically costly chemical reactions.

Identify a structure other than a cell wall or a vacuole that might be found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell. explain
enot [183]
One structure that can be found is most plant cells is chloroplast. A plant cell may have around 0 to 20 chloroplast, depending on their location in plant or their function.

Chloroplast is the structure that photosynthesis occurs. Photosynthesis is the method that plant make food for themselves. They turn sunlight into food such as starch.

Plants are autotrophs, which means they make food themselves, they don't need food from other sources like animals. Therefore, chloroplast is not found in animal cells because we are heterotrophs, we feed on other food.
