Nucleoside triphosphate (NTP)s, like ATP (adenosine 5’-triphosphate) and GTP (guanosine 5’-triphosphate), have long been considered sufficiently concentrated and diffusible to fuel all cellular ATPases (adenosine triphosphatases) and GTPases (guanosine ...

The effect of triethyltin on oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase activation [PDF]
Triethyltin inhibits the respiration of rat brain slices following in vitro and in vivo administration. When added in vitro this alkyltin compound uncouples oxidative phosphorylation of rat brain and liver homogenates and mitochondria.

The effect of calcium to magnesium ratio on adenosine triphosphatases from wheat roots
The activities of ATPase isolated from 4 days old wheat roots grown on distilled water were found to be associated with the ratio of Ca : Mg ions added in different proportions to the incubation medium. This relationship was stated in the crude cell wall

AAA+ ATPases in Protein Degradation: Structures, Functions and Mechanisms
Adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) associated with a variety of cellular activities (AAA+), the hexameric ring-shaped motor complexes located in all ATP-driven proteolytic machines, are involved in many cellular processes.

Activity-dependent release of Adenosine: a critical re-evaluation of mechanism [PDF]
Adenosine is perhaps the most important and universal modulator in the brain. The current consensus is that it is primarily produced in the extracellular space from the breakdown of previously released ATP.

Adenosine-mediated modulation of ventral horn interneurons and spinal motoneurons in neonatal mice [PDF]
The authors are grateful for support from the Wellcome Trust.Neuromodulation allows neural networks to adapt to varying environmental and biomechanical demands. Purinergic signalling is known to be an important modulatory system in many parts of the CNS,

SUB-CHRONIC COMBINED TOXIC EFFECT OF ETHEPHON AND GIBBERELLIC ACID ON MICE BRAIN MITOCHONDRIAL ADENOSINE TRI-PHOSPHATASES AND BOTH BRAIN AND WHOLE BLOOD ACETYLCHOLINEESTERASE [PDF]
The objective of the present study was to assess the sub-chronic effect of combination between ethephon and gibberellic acid on brain mitochondrial adenosine tri-phosphatas, brain and whole blood acetyl cholinesterase.

Activity-dependent adenosine release may be linked to activation of Na+-K+ ATPase : an in vitro rat study [PDF]
In the brain, extracellular adenosine increases as a result of neuronal activity. The mechanisms by which this occurs are only incompletely understood. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the Na+ influxes associated with neuronal signalling activate ...
