Molecular Basis of Ca2+ Activation of the Mouse Cardiac Ca2+ Release Channel (Ryanodine Receptor)
Activation of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) by Ca(2)+ is an essential step in excitation-contraction coupling in heart muscle. However, little is known about the molecular basis of activation of RyR2 by Ca(2)+. In this study, we investigated the role in Ca(2)+ sensing of the conserved glutamate 3987 located in the predicted transmembrane segment M2 of the mouse RyR2. Single point mutati...
متن کاملModification of ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel with dinitrofluorobenzene.
Modification of the ryanodine receptor (RyR)/Ca(2+) release channel with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) indicated that two classes of amino group interact with the reagent, as can be distinguished on the basis of their reactivity/accessibility and the effects on ryanodine binding and single channel activities. One group interacted very rapidly (t(1/2)<30 s) at 25 degrees C with low concentrati...
متن کاملCaffeine induces Ca2+ release by reducing the threshold for luminal Ca2+ activation of the ryanodine receptor.
Caffeine has long been used as a pharmacological probe for studying RyR (ryanodine receptor)-mediated Ca(2+) release and cardiac arrhythmias. However, the precise mechanism by which caffeine activates RyRs is elusive. In the present study, we investigated the effects of caffeine on spontaneous Ca(2+) release and on the response of single RyR2 (cardiac RyR) channels to luminal or cytosolic Ca(2+...
متن کاملModulation of Ca2+-gated cardiac muscle Ca2+-release channel (ryanodine receptor) by mono- and divalent ions.
The effects of mono- and divalent ions on Ca2+-gated cardiac muscle Ca2+-release channel (ryanodine receptor) activity were examined in [3H]ryanodine-binding measurements. Ca2+ bound with the highest apparent affinity to Ca2+activation sites in choline chloride medium, followed by KCl, CsCl, NaCl, and LiCl media. The apparent Ca2+ binding affinities of Ca2+ inactivation sites were lower in chol...
متن کاملSuperoxide anion radical-triggered Ca2+ release from cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum through ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channel.
The ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channel (RyRC) constitutes the Ca2+-release pathway in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of cardiac muscle. A direct mechanical and a Ca2+-triggered mechanism (Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release) have been proposed to explain the in situ activation of Ca2+ release in cardiac muscle. A variety of chemical oxidants have been shown to activate RyRC; however, the role of modification i...
