| Research Abstract |
Fixing the lumen Ca2+-concentration at over 10 micro molar concentration in a nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum preparation (nuclear envelope: NE), which is subjected into whole-NE configuration of the patch-clamp recording techniques, I observed increases of membrane electrical capacitance, the measure of the membrane area. The membrane capacitance, recorded under in situ patch-clamp condition, fluctuated microscopically. The result suggests that the NE membrane system shows a characteristic undulation reflecting temporal membrane vesiculation and collapse, and the process is under control of the lumen Ca2+ concentration. The NE membrane is rich in ion- and water- channels. Those active membrane may component contribute to maintain NE assembly, the structure of the lumen and the nuclear membranes. Further, I observed with laser confocal microscopy in the NE preparation, a thick membrane accumulation, stacking into layers at a small spot, assumingly corresponding to the nucleic pore.
