Ryanodine 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 کاملIntracellular Zinc Modulates Cardiac Ryanodine Receptor-mediated Calcium Release*
Aberrant Zn(2+) homeostasis is a hallmark of certain cardiomyopathies associated with altered contractile force. In this study, we addressed whether Zn(2+) modulates cardiac ryanodine receptor gating and Ca(2+) dynamics in isolated cardiomyocytes. We reveal that Zn(2+) is a high affinity regulator of RyR2 displaying three modes of operation. Picomolar free Zn(2+) concentrations potentiate RyR2 ...
متن کاملAltered communication between L-type calcium channels and ryanodine receptors in heart failure.
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive syndrome that appears as the final phase of most cardiac diseases and is manifested as a decreased contractile function. Contraction in cardiomyocytes arises by the Ca2+ induced Ca2+ release mechanism, where Ca2+ entry (ICa) through Ca2+ channels (DHPRs) activates Ca2+ release channels (RyRs) in the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This is the base of ...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated regulation of calcium channels and neurotransmitter release.
Ca2+ influx into the nerve terminal is normally the trigger for the release of neurotransmitters. Many neurons possess presynaptic receptors whose activation results in changes in the quantity of neurotransmitter released by an action potential. This paper reviews studies that show that presynaptic receptors can regulate the activity of Ca2+ channels in the nerve terminal, resulting in changes ...
متن کاملCoupled 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...
