Influence of Pentachlorophenol on Light Emission from Single Barnacle Muscle Fibers Preloaded with Aequorin

Experiments show that the resting ouabain-insensitive sodium efflux in giant fibers from the barnacle Balanus nubilus is stimulated by external application of pentachlorophenol (PCP). This work has now been extended to include a study of muscle fibers preloaded with the Ca2+indicator aequorin to det...

description Experiments show that the resting ouabain-insensitive sodium efflux in giant fibers from the barnacle Balanus nubilus is stimulated by external application of pentachlorophenol (PCP). This work has now been extended to include a study of muscle fibers preloaded with the Ca2+indicator aequorin to determine whether PCP is able to increase light emission; and whether its potency depends on the number of chlorine atoms and external pH. The results obtained are as follows: 1) PCP causes a dose-dependent, multiphasic rise in light emission; the threshold concentration in fibers not poisoned with ouabain was in the low micromolar range. 2) The efficacy of PCP is considerably greater than that of less-chlorinated phenols and phenol. 3) The response to PCP is a sigmoidal function of external pH both in unpoisoned and ouabain-poisoned fibers. Reducing external pH potentiates its efficacy. 4) The response to PCP depends on the external Ca2+concentration, and the requirement for Ca2+is usually absolute.
