چکیده

The use of flash photolysis of caged Ca 2 1 to rapidly elevate [Ca 2 1 ] at the cytosolic face of a cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR) channel reconstituted into a bilayer gives rise to a rapid increase in open probability (Po; Györke and Fill, 1993). This is followed by a decline in Po, which occurs much more slowly ( t 5 1.3 s). After the decline in Po, the channels can be reactivated by a second Ca 2 1

Ryanodine Receptor Adaptation

signal activates specialized Ca 2 1 release channels, the ryanodine receptors (RyRs), in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This process is called Ca 2 1 -induced Ca 2 1 release (CICR). Intuitively, the CICR process should be self-regenerating because the Ca 2 1 released from the SR should feedback and activate further SR Ca 2 1 release. However, the CICR process is precisely controlled in the he...

Ca2+ Spark Termination

Several perspectives on Ca 2 1 sparks were recently published. A common theme was the importance of defining the mechanisms that terminate local SR Ca 2 1 release. We propose that the timeand Ca 2 1 -dependent modal gating behavior of single ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels is the negative control mechanism that terminates local Ca 2 1 release. Specifically, the observed “inactivation” and “ad...

A mechanistic description of gating of the human cardiac ryanodine receptor in a regulated minimal environment

Cardiac muscle contraction, triggered by the action potential, is mediated by the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through ryanodine receptor (RyR)2 channels. In situ, RyR2 gating is modulated by numerous physiological and pharmacological agents, and altered RyR2 function underlies the occurrence of arrhythmias in both inherited and acquired diseases. To understand fully the me...

RyRCa2+ Leak Limits Cardiac Ca2+ Window Current Overcoming the Tonic Effect of Calmodulin in Mice

Ca(2+) mediates the functional coupling between L-type Ca(2+) channel (LTCC) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release channel (ryanodine receptor, RyR), participating in key pathophysiological processes. This crosstalk manifests as the orthograde Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release (CICR) mechanism triggered by Ca(2+) influx, but also as the retrograde Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation (CDI) of LTC...

Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are intracellular membrane channels playing key roles in many Ca signaling pathways and, as such, are emerging novel therapeutic and insecticidal targets. RyRs are so named because they bind the plant alkaloid ryanodine with high affinity and although it is established that ryanodine produces profound changes in all aspects of function, our understanding of the mechan...
