- W3049446482 abstract "Abstract Sea urchin larvae have an endoskeleton consisting of two calcitic spicules. The primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) are the cells that are responsible for spicule formation. PMCs endocytose sea water from the larval internal body cavity into a network of vacuoles and vesicles, where calcium ions are concentrated until they precipitate in the form of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC). The mineral is subsequently transferred to the syncytium, where the spicule forms. Using cryo-soft X-ray microscopy (cryo-SXM) we imaged intra-cellular calcium-containing particles in the PMCs and acquired Ca-L 2,3 X-ray absorption near edge spectra (XANES) of these Ca-particles. Using the pre-peak/main peak (L 2 ’/ L 2 ) intensity ratio, which reflects the atomic order in the first Ca coordination shell, we determined the state of the calcium ions in each particle. The concentration of Ca in each of the particles was also determined by the integrated area in the main Ca absorption peak. We observed about 700 Ca-particles with order parameters, L 2 ’/ L 2 , ranging from solution to hydrated and anhydrous ACC, and with concentrations ranging between 1-15 M. We conclude that in each cell the calcium ions exist in a continuum of states. This implies that most, but not all water, is expelled from the particles. This cellular process of calcium concentration may represent a widespread pathway in mineralizing organisms. Significance Organisms form mineralized skeletons, many of which are composed of calcium salts. Marine organisms extract calcium ions from sea water. One of the main unresolved issues is how organisms concentrate calcium by more than 3 orders of magnitude, to achieve mineral deposition in their skeleton. Here we determine the calcium state in each of the calcium-containing vesicles inside the spicule-building cells of sea urchin larvae. We show that within one cell there is a wide range of concentrations and states from solution to solid. We hypothesize that calcium concentration increases gradually in each vesicle, starting from sea water levels and until mineral is deposited. This model might well be relevant to other phyla, thus advancing the understanding of biomineralization processes." @default.
