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 کاملRedox regulation of the ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel.
The RyR (ryanodine receptor)/calcium release channel contains a number of highly reactive thiol groups that endow it with redox sensitivity. In general, oxidizing conditions favour channel opening, while reducing conditions have the opposite effect. Thiol modification affects the channel sensitivity to its principal effectors, Ca2+, Mg2+ and ATP, and alters RyR protein interactions. Here, we gi...
متن کاملLanthanides Report Calcium Sensor in the Vestibule of Ryanodine Receptor.
Ca2+ regulates ryanodine receptor's (RyR) activity through an activating and an inhibiting Ca2+-binding site located on the cytoplasmic side of the RyR channel. Their altered sensitivity plays an important role in the pathology of malignant hyperthermia and heart failure. We used lanthanide ions (Ln3+) as probes to investigate the Ca2+ sensors of RyR, because they specifically bind to Ca2+-bind...
متن کاملMalignant hyperthermia causing Gly2435Arg mutation of the ryanodine receptor facilitates ryanodine-induced calcium release in myotubes.
We have investigated if cultivated muscle cells from malignant hyperthermia (MH) patients can be distinguished pharmacologically from controls. Muscle specimens from four individuals carrying the Gly2435Arg mutation of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor protein (RYR1) and from four controls were used to culture myotubes. Resting intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of MH myotubes w...
متن کاملRyanodine Receptor Activation Induces Long-Term Plasticity of Spine Calcium Dynamics
A key feature of signalling in dendritic spines is the synapse-specific transduction of short electrical signals into biochemical responses. Ca2+ is a major upstream effector in this transduction cascade, serving both as a depolarising electrical charge carrier at the membrane and an intracellular second messenger. Upon action potential firing, the majority of spines are subject to global back-...
