Calcium-induced displacement of membrane-associated particles upon aggregation of chromaffin granules

R Schober, C Nitsch, U Rinne, and SJ Morris

Isolated chromaffin granules incubated in 10 millimolar calcium chloride aggregated, forming contact sites with a pentalaminar membrane structure. These circular attachment sites were free of membrane-associated particles, which accumulated at the periphery. Incubation in 20 millimolar ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid reversed these changes, which are regarded as initial events in the membrane fusion reaction.
