Mechanisms of luteinizing-hormone exocytosis in Staphylococcus aureus-alpha-toxin-permeabilized sheep gonadotropes.
We have used primary gonadotropes permeabilized with the pore-forming protein Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin to investigate luteinizing hormone (lutropin, LH) exocytosis. The diameter of the alpha-toxin pores (2-3 nm) allows the exchange of small molecules, whereas larger cytosolic proteins are r...
