Nongenomic actions of steroid hormones

TL;DR: This work has identified other responses to steroids that are much more rapid and take place in seconds or minutes, and they are not rare.

The use of Xenopus oocytes for the study of ion channels.

TL;DR: Oocytes of the African frog Xenopus laevis have been exploited for the study of numerous aspects of ion channel function and regulation, such as the properties of several endogenous voltage-dependent channels and the involvement of second messengers in mediation of neurotransmitter-evoked membrane responses.

Nongenomic Steroid Action: Controversies, Questions, and Answers

TL;DR: Evidence is presented for and against both the participation of classic receptors, or proteins closely related to them, as well as for the involvement of yet poorly understood, novel membrane steroid receptors.

Regulation of mouse oocyte meiotic maturation: Implication of a decrease in oocyte cAMP and protein dephosphorylation in commitment to resume meiosis

TL;DR: Mouse oocytes are reversibly inhibited from resuming meiotic maturation in vitro by cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as 3-isobutyl-1-methyl xanthine (IBMX) and cAMP analogs such as dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) and a possible role cAMP may play in regulation of resumption of meiosis in mammals is discussed.

Signal transduction by guanine nucleotide binding proteins

TL;DR: G-proteins also participate in other signal transduction pathways, notably that involving phosphoinositide breakdown, and are highlighted in this review.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

A Highly Sensitive Adenylate Cyclase Assay

TL;DR: The high sensitivity of this method permits detection of the small amounts of cyclic AMP formed at low enzyme concentrations or at early time points in kinetic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of hormone receptors and GTP-regulatory proteins in membrane transduction

TL;DR: Cell membrane receptors for hormones and neurotransmitters form oligomeric complexes with GTP-regulatory proteins and inhibit the latter from reacting with G TP, and this theory may apply generally to membrane signal transduction involving surface receptors.

Mechanism of cholera toxin action: Covalent modification of the guanyl nucleotide-binding protein of the adenylate cyclase system

TL;DR: The results indicate that cholera toxin affects the adenylate cyclase system by catalyzing an ADP-ribosylation of the 42,000-M(r) component bearing the guanyl nucleotide regulatory site.
