3D Structure of the Dihydropyridine Receptor of Skeletal Muscle.
Excitation contraction coupling, the rapid and massive Ca(2+) release under control of an action potential that triggers muscle contraction, takes places at specialized regions of the cell called triad junctions. There, a highly ordered supramolecular complex between the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) and the ryanodine receptor (RyR1) mediates the quasi-instantaneous conversion from T-tubule d...
متن کامل3D structure of the skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptor.
The dihydropyridine receptors (DHPR) are L-type voltage-gated calcium channels that regulate the flux of calcium ions across the cell membrane. Here we present the three-dimensional (3D) structure at approximately 27A resolution of purified skeletal muscle DHPR, as determined by electron microscopy and single particle analysis. Here both biochemical and 3D structural data indicate that DHPR is ...
متن کاملThe beta 1a subunit is essential for the assembly of dihydropyridine-receptor arrays in skeletal muscle.
Homozygous zebrafish of the mutant relaxed (red(ts25)) are paralyzed and die within days after hatching. A significant reduction of intramembrane charge movements and the lack of depolarization-induced but not caffeine-induced Ca(2+) transients suggested a defect in the skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR). Sequencing of DHPR cDNAs indicated that the alpha(1S) subunit is normal, wher...
متن کاملSubunit structure of dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels from skeletal muscle.
Purified dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels from rabbit transverse-tubule membranes consist of three noncovalently associated classes of subunits: alpha (167 kDa), beta (54 kDa), and gamma (30 kDa). Cleavage of disulfide bonds reveals two distinct alpha polypeptides and an additional component, delta. The alpha 1 subunit, a 175-kDa polypeptide that is not N-glycosylated, contains the di...
متن کاملExcitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle of a mouse lacking the dihydropyridine receptor subunit gamma1.
1. In skeletal muscle, dihydropyridine (DHP) receptors control both Ca(2+) entry (L-type current) and internal Ca(2+) release in a voltage-dependent manner. Here we investigated the question of whether elimination of the skeletal muscle-specific DHP receptor subunit gamma1 affects excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. We studied intracellular Ca(2+) release and force production in muscle prepa...
