S100B‐modulated Ca2+‐dependent ROS‐GC1 transduction machinery in the gustatory epithelium: a new mechanism in gustatory transduction

Abstract: Gustatory transduction is a biochemical process by which the gustatory signal generates the electric signal. The microvilli of the taste cells in the gustatory epithelium are the sites of gustatory transduction. This study documents the biochemical, molecular, and functional identity of the Ca 2+ -modulated membrane guanylate cyclase transduction machinery in the bovine gustatory epithelium. The machinery is a twocomponent system: the Ca 2+ -sensor protein, S100B; and the transducer, ROS-GC1. S100B senses incr… Show more

“…With the overall goal of determining whether S100B is a natural modulator of ROS-GC1 activity linked with phototransduction in retinal photoreceptors, the presence of S100B protein in the photoreceptor outer segments of mice was assessed by Western blotting using affinity purified S100B antibody [18]. An S100B immunoreactive band was present at the expected molecular weight ( Fig.…”

“…Rabbit S100B and ROS-GC1 antibodies were produced, characterized and affinity purified as in [18,19]. Other antibodies and serum were obtained from commercial sources: goat S100B (N-15) antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), rabbit cone arrestin antibody (Millipore, Temecula, CA), rabbit rhodopsin antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), two secondary antibodies, DyLight 649-conjugated donkey anti-goat and DyLight 448-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit, and normal donkey serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA).…”

“…The procedure was carried out according to the previously published protocols (Venkataraman et al, 2000; Duda and Sharma, 2004; Jankowska et al, 2007). 150 mg of membrane fraction proteins were denatured in gel-loading buffer [62.5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 2% SDS, 5% glycerol, 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, and 0.005% bromophenol blue] in 95°C for 10 min.…”

“…Beyond the retina, ROS-GC1 is expressed in the pineal gland where in one subset of pinealocytes it co-localizes with GCAP1 and in another, with S100B (Venkataraman et al, 2000); in the mitral cells of the olfactory bulb where it co-localizes with GCAP1 (Duda et al, 2001b); and it co-immunoprecipitates with S100B in the gustatory epithelium (Duda and Sharma, 2004). …”

“…The expression of a Ca 2+ signaling ROS-GC1 transduction system in the anterior portion of the bovine gustatory epithelium has been demonstrated at the biochemical, molecular and functional levels (Duda and Sharma, 2004). The system is composed of two components: the Ca 2+ -sensor protein, S100B and the transducer, ROS-GC1.…”
