pubmed:abstractText
Chromaffin cells possess a mesh of filamentous actin underneath the plasma membrane which acts as a barrier to the chromaffin vesicles access to exocytotic sites. Disassembly of cortical F-actin in response to stimulation allows the movement of vesicles from the reserve pool to the release-ready vesicle pool and, therefore, to exocytotic sites. The dynamics of cortical F-actin is controlled by two mechanisms: a) stimulation-induced Ca2+ entry and scinderin activation and b) protein kinase C (PKC) activation and MARCKS phosphorylation as demonstrated here by experiments with recombinant proteins, antisense olygodeoxynucleotides and vector mediated transient expressions. Under physiological conditions (i.e., cholinergic receptor stimulation followed by Ca2+ entry), mechanism (a) is the most important for the control of cortical F-actin network whereas when Ca2+ is released from intracellular stores (i.e., histamine stimulation) cortical F-actin is regulated mainly by mechanism b.
