Coupled gating between cardiac calcium release channels (ryanodine receptors).
Excitation-contraction coupling in heart muscle requires the activation of Ca(2+)-release channels/type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2s) by Ca(2+) influx. RyR2s are arranged on the sarcoplasmic reticular membrane in closely packed arrays such that their large cytoplasmic domains contact one another. We now show that multiple RyR2s can be isolated under conditions such that they remain physically c...
متن کاملCoupled gating between individual cardiac ryanodine calcium release channels.
In order to study interactions between ryanodine receptor calcium release (RyR2) channels during excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle, we used bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) and improved the method of cardiac sarcoplasmic vesicle fusion into BLM. We increased fusion gradient for the vesicles, used chloride ions for fusion up to concentration of 1.2 mol/l and fused the vesicles by add...
متن کاملCoupled gating between individual skeletal muscle Ca2+ release channels (ryanodine receptors)
Excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle requires the release of intracellular calcium ions (Ca2+) through ryanodine receptor (RyR1) channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Half of the RyR1 channels are activated by voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. In planar lipid bilayers, RyR1 channels exhibited simultaneous openings and closings, termed "coupled gating." Addi...
متن کاملRyanodine receptor calcium release channels.
The ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are a family of Ca2+ release channels found on intracellular Ca2+ storage/release organelles. The RyR channels are ubiquitously expressed in many types of cells and participate in a variety of important Ca2+ signaling phenomena (neurotransmission, secretion, etc.). In striated muscle, the RyR channels represent the primary pathway for Ca2+ release during the excit...
متن کاملRole of coupled gating between cardiac ryanodine receptors in the genesis of triggered arrhythmias.
Mutations in the ryanodine receptor (RyR) have been linked to exercise-induced sudden cardiac death. However, the precise sequence of events linking RyR channel mutations to a whole heart arrhythmia is not completely understood. In this paper, we apply a detailed, mathematical model of subcellular calcium (Ca) release, coupled to membrane voltage, to study how defective RyR channels can induce ...
