Potassium-channel blockers inhibit inositol trisphosphate-induced calcium release in the microsomal fractions isolated from the rat brain.
Jyotsna Shah,Harish C. Pant +1 more
TL;DR: The ionic mechanism of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced Ca2+ release was investigated in microsomes isolated from rat brain, and modulation of K+ channels by TEA and 9-TEA may underlie the inhibition of InsP3-induced Ca 2+ release from brainmicrosomes by these agents.

Relationship between multiple copies of a T. brucei variable surface glycoprotein gene whose expression is not controlled by duplication
TL;DR: Analysis of the multiple copies of this gene present in all IITaR 1 trypanosome clones by restriction enzyme mapping and sequencing shows that the expressed copy may have arisen by duplication and transposition to a telomeric site, as is observed for those VSG genes whose expression is linked to duplication.

The 5'flanking sequence of a Trypanosoma brucei variable surface glycoprotein gene
TL;DR: The complete sequence of the barren region adjacent to the ILTat 1.3 VSG gene is determined, confirming that alterations in the barren area are not involved in modulation of expression of the gene, as suggested by restriction enzyme mapping.

Characterization of an Onchocerca-Specific DNA Clone from Onchocerca Volvulus
TL;DR: A genomic library of a savanna isolate of Onchocerca volvulus was screened to detect recombinant plasmids containing highly repeated DNA sequences of this parasite, and one plasmid, puOvs3, has been characterized in detail, including DNA sequence determination.

Inositol trisphosphate-induced calcium release in brain microsomes.
TL;DR: The results support the concept that the endoplasmic reticulum is the target for IP-3 induced mobilization of Ca2+ in the cell.
