Effect of pretreatments (imprinting) with different concentrations of insulin on insulin binding of nuclear envelope and plasma membrane in Tetrahymena. 1992

About 4 h following treatment with 10(-6) - 10(-10) M insulin (imprinting) there was a down-regulation both in the plasma membrane and in the nuclear envelope of Tetrahymena, i.e. there was a decrease in the binding value related to the control. In each concentration tested the imprinting resulted in increased FITC-insulin binding after 24 and 48 h of treatment; the imprinting was independent of the concentrations. In the case of the plasma membrane the power of binding was directly proportional to the increase of the hormone concentration participating in the imprinting. For the nuclear envelope the optimal concentration was 10(-8) M. At very low concentrations (10(-10) M) the binding resulting in imprinting was insignificant in the plasma membrane but it was still present in the nucleus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D009685 Nuclear Envelope The membrane system of the CELL NUCLEUS that surrounds the nucleoplasm. It consists of two concentric membranes separated by the perinuclear space. The structures of the envelope where it opens to the cytoplasm are called the nuclear pores (NUCLEAR PORE).

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
