Mapping Ryanodine Binding Sites in the Pore Cavity of Ryanodine Receptors.
Ryanodine (Ryd) irreversibly targets ryanodine receptors (RyRs), a family of intracellular calcium release channels essential for many cellular processes ranging from muscle contraction to learning and memory. Little is known of the atomistic details about how Ryd binds to RyRs. In this study, we used all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with both enhanced and bidirectional sampling to gain ...

متن کاملRyanodine Receptors: Structure
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are huge ion channels that are responsible for the release of Ca2 from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. RyRs form homotetramers with a mushroom-like shape, consisting of a large cytoplasmic head and transmembrane stalk. Ca2 is a major physiological ligand that triggers opening of RyRs, but a plethora of modulatory proteins and small molecules in the cytoplasm and sarc...
متن کاملRyanodine receptors in smooth muscle.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of smooth muscle is endowed with two different types of Ca2+ release channels, i.e. inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs). In general, both release channels mobilize Ca2+ from the same internal store in smooth muscle. While the importance of IP3Rs in agonist-induced contraction is well established, the role of RyRs in excit...
متن کاملRegulation of ryanodine receptors in the heart.
In response to exercise or other stresses, catecholamines are released into the circulation and within the heart. Catecholaminergic stimulation of 1-adrenergic receptors ( 1ARs) in the heart increases heart rate (chronotropy) and contractility (inotropy), resulting in increased cardiac output during acute stress. Concurrent stimulation of 2-ARs dilates blood vessels, which increase blood flow t...
