This characteristic compartmentalization of the synaptic neuropil is a typical feature of primary olfactory centres in vertebrates and most advanced invertebrates. In the present work we mapped the location of presynaptic sites in glomeruli across the OB using antibodies to presynaptic vesicle proteins and presynaptic membrane proteins in combination with confocal microscopy. In addition the responses of glomeruli upon mucosal application of amino acid-odorants and forskolin were monitored using functional calcium imaging. We first describe the spatial distribution of glomeruli across the main olfactory bulb (MOB) in premetamorphic Xenopus laevis. Second, we show that the heterogeneous organization of glomeruli along the dorsoventral and mediolateral axes of the MOB is associated with a differential distribution of synaptic vesicle proteins. While antibodies to synaptophysin, syntaxin and SNAP-25 uniformly labelled glomeruli in the whole MOB, intense synaptotagmin staining was present only in glomeruli in the lateral, and to a lesser extent in the intermediate, part of the OB. Interestingly, amino acid-responsive glomeruli were always located in the lateral part of the OB, and glomeruli activated by mucosal forskolin application were exclusively located in the medial part of the OB.

The two neuron types were distinguished on the basis of their location in the slice, their typical branching pattern and by electrophysiological criteria. At NE concentrations lower than 5 microM there was only one effect of NE upon voltage-gated conductances; NE blocked a high-voltage-activated Ca(2+)-current in mitral cells of both the main and the accessory olfactory bulbs. No such effect was observed in granule cells. The effect of NE upon mitral cell Ca(2+)-currents was mimicked by the alpha(2)-receptor agonists clonidine and alpha-methyl-NE. As a second effect, NE or clonidine blocked spontaneous synaptic activity in granule cells of both the main and the accessory olfactory bulbs. NE or clonidine also blocked the spontaneous synaptic activity in mitral cells of either olfactory bulb. The amplitude of glutamate-induced currents in granule cells was modulated neither by clonidine nor by alpha-methyl-NE.

Early studies revealed that an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in the cytoplasmic N-terminus of LMP2A can trigger a transient increase of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration similar to that observed in antigen-activated B cells when expressed as a chimeric transmembrane receptor. Even so, LMP2A was subsequently ascribed an inhibitory rather than an activating function because its expression seemed to partially inhibit B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling in EBV-transformed B cell lines. However, the analysis of LMP2A signaling has been hampered by the lack of cellular model systems in which LMP2A can be studied without the influence of other EBV-encoded factors. Results: We have reanalyzed LMP2A signaling using B cells in which LMP2A is expressed in an inducible manner in the absence of any other EBV signaling protein. This allowed us for the first time to monitor LMP2A signaling in statu nascendi as it occurs during the EBV life cycle in vivo. We show that mere expression of LMP2A not only stimulated protein tyrosine kinases but also induced phospholipase C-gamma 2-mediated Ca2+ oscillations followed by activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and induction of the lytic EBV gene bzlf1. Furthermore, expression of the constitutively phosphorylated LMP2A ITAM modulated rather than inhibited BCR-induced Ca2+ mobilization. Conclusion: Our data establish that LMP2A expression has a function beyond the putative inhibition of the BCR by generating a ligand-independent cellular activation signal that may provide a molecular switch for different EBV life cycle stages and most probably contributes to EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disorders."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2012"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1478-811X-10-9"],["dc.identifier.isi","000304033500001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22472181"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7606"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/26681"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1478-811X"],["dc.rights","CC BY 2.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0"],["dc.title","Epstein-Barr virus LMP2A signaling in statu nascendi mimics a B cell antigen receptor-like activation signal"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In previous studies it has been shown that larvae of Xenopus laevis are able to sense amino acids. Here we report on the effect of ATP in the olfactory epithelium (OE) of Xenopus laevis tadpoles. First, ATP activates a subpopulation of cells in the OE. The ATP-sensitive subset of cells is almost perfectly disjoint from the subset of amino acid-activated cells. Both responses are not mediated by the well-described cAMP transduction pathway as the two subpopulations of cells do not overlap with a third, forskolin-activated subpopulation. We further show that, in contrast to amino acids, which act exclusively as olfactory stimuli, ATP appears to feature a second role. Surprisingly it activated a large number of sustentacular supporting cells (SCs) and, to a much lower extent, olfactory receptor neurons. The cells of the amino acid- and ATP-responding subsets featured differences in shape, size and position in the OE. The latencies to activation upon stimulus application differed markedly in these subsets. To obtain these results two technical points were important. We used a novel dextran-tetramethylrhodamine-backfilled slice preparation of the OE and we found out that an antibody to calnexin, a known molecular chaperone, also labels SCs. Our findings thus show a strong effect of ATP in the OE and we discuss some of the possible physiological functions of nucleotides in the OE."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1460-9568.2005.04533.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000235052400013"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16420422"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7748"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/44713"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Blackwell Publishing"],["dc.relation.issn","0953-816X"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","ATP activates both receptor and sustentacular supporting cells in the olfactory epithelium of Xenopus laevis tadpoles"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
