Chromaffin granules are secretory granules present in adrenal medulla chromaffin cells. They contain high contents of catecholamines and nucleotides and have been regarded as a model system for the study of vesicular transmitter uptake and release. In 1988, Dr. María Teresa Miras Portugal, when studying catecholamine biosynthesis, detected a novel group of nucleotides, the diadenosine polyphosphates, in the adrenal chromaffin granules. Based on this finding, she unraveled the existence of diadenosine polyphosphate-mediated chemical transmission, leading to a paradigm shift in the field of purinergic signaling. She is also a pioneer in the studies on vesicular nucleotide storage. First, María Teresa and her group characterized nucleotide transport in chromaffin granules and synaptic vesicles using fluorescent nucleotide derivatives such as 1, N6-ethenoadenosine triphosphates. Then, they revealed the presence of a hypothetical vesicular nucleotide transporter with unique properties in terms of substrate specificity. In this article, we will describe her contributions to vesicular nucleotide storage and the foundations she laid for future studies.
