Inhibitory action of chlorpromazine, dibucaine, and other phospholipid-interacting drugs on calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase.

TL;DR: Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase recently found in mammalian tissues is inhibited by various phospholIPid-interacting drugs such as chlorpromazine, imipramine, phentolamine, dibucaine, verapamil, and tetracaine but a catalytic fragment of this enzyme, obtained by limited proteolysis with Ca2-dependent neutral protease, is fully active and not susceptible to any of these drugs.

Membrane and Cytoplasmic Changes in B Lymphocytes Induced by Ligand-Surface Immunoglobulin Interaction

TL;DR: This chapter discusses membrane and cytoplasmic changes in B lymphocytes induced by ligand–surface immunoglobulin (Ig) interaction by using ultrastructural analysis of regular thin section of cells exposed to antibodies conjugated to a large visible molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of local anesthetics on cell morphology and membrane-associated cytoskeletal organization in BALB/3T3 cells.

TL;DR: The relationship of the findings on local anesthetic-induced changes in cellular cytoskeletal systems is discussed in relation to previous proposals on plasma membrane organization and control of cell surface receptor topography and mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local anesthetics affect transmembrane cytoskeletal control of mobility and distribution of cell surface receptors.

TL;DR: Evidence supports the proposal that anesthetics affect the organization of cytoskeletal components or their plasma membrane attachment points by the participation of membrane-associated microtubules and microfilaments in the transmembrane control of receptor mobility.

The locomotion of fibroblasts in culture I. Movements of the leading edge

TL;DR: During the locomotion on a plane surface of fibroblast-like cells from embryonic chick heart and neonatal mouse muscle, any point on the leading edge undergoes a repetitive protrusion and withdrawal, covering about 5 μm which is quantitatively very similar in the two kinds of cell.

The Locomotion of Mouse Fibroblasts in Tissue Culture

TL;DR: A random walk model, modified to comprehend the persistence effect, was found to describe the motion of fibroblasts in tissue culture and to provide a numerical measure of cellular motility.

Effect of procaine on electrical properties of squid axon membrane.

TL;DR: Procaine (0.025–0.1%; pH 7.9) caused a reduction in the amount and rate of development of the early transient and late steady state currents which occur during a depolarizing voltage step applied to the excised, voltage clamped squid axon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-substrate adhesivity. A determinant of cell motility.

TL;DR: In the situations studied, increased adhesivity was associated with decreased motility for both 3T3 fibroblasts and SV3T3 viral transformants, suggesting that cell motility depends on cell-substrate adhesivities.

Control of Somatic Cell Mitosis by Simulated Changes in the Transmembrane Potential Level

TL;DR: Experiments designed to test the premis that variations in intracellular ionic concentrations accompanying different levels of the electrical transmembrane potential difference might serve as a mechanistic difference.
