Abstract

Incubation of digitonin-permeabilized bovine chromaffin cells in the absence of Ca2+ results in a loss of both cytosolic proteins and Ca(2+)-dependent secretion. Addition of these leaked proteins prevents this loss of secretory activity. We have purified a protein from an extract of bovine adrenal medulla which can partially prevent this loss of Ca(2+)-dependent secretion. Antibody against this protein inhibited the ability of leaked chromaffin-cell proteins to prevent the loss of Ca(2+)-dependent secretion. Sequence analysis showed it to have sequence identity with bovine brain 14-3-3 protein. These results demonstrate that 14-3-3 protein makes a significant contribution to the ability of leaked chromaffin-cell proteins to maintain secretory activity.
