21、mooth endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol.This mechanism will be illustrated with theparticular example of blood platelets.We will then discuss how much of the mechanism isgeneral to a wider range of cells.Platelets are common in the blood.They are small fragments of cells and contain nonucleus,b

22、ut they do have a plasma membrane and some endoplasmic reticulum.Bloodplatelets use the release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum as one step in themechanism of blood clotting(Figs.16.2 and 16.3).Two new mechanisms are involved incalcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum.The inositol tr

23、isphosphate-gated calciumchannel(Fig.16.3),like the voltage-gated calcium channel,allows only calcium ions topass.Most of the time its gate is shut,and no ions flow.It is not opened by a change in thevoltage across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.Instead,when the intracellular soluteinositol tris

24、phosphate(IP3for short)binds to the cytosolic face of the channel,the channelchanges to an open shape.ThesecondnewmechanismthatwemustdescribeistheonethatmakesIP3(Fig.16.2).If a blood vessel is cut,cytosol from damaged cells at the edge of the cut can leakinto the blood.The appearance of solutes that

25、 normally are found only inside cells is asure sign that damage has occurred.Adenosine diphosphate(ADP)is one such solute,and it acts to stimulate platelets,causing them to begin a blood clot to help plug thedamaged vessel.The plasma membrane of the platelet contains a protein receptor thatbinds ADP

26、,that is,ADP is its ligand.When the ADP has bound,the receptor,which isfree to move in the plasma membrane,becomes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor(page 218)for a trimeric G protein called Gq.Like the GTPases Ran,ARF,and Rabthat we have met earlier,trimeric G proteins are GTPases that activate t
