The effects of various local anesthetics (LAs) on the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor were tested. The LAs were divided into three categories according to their effects on the binding of ryanodine to the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. Ryanodine binding was assayed in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl and 10 microM CaCl2. Tetracaine and dibucaine inhibit the binding with half-maximal inhibition (CI50) of 0.12 and 0.25 mM, respectively, while inhibition by benzocaine and procaine occurs with CI50 of about 10-fold higher. Lidocaine, its analogue QX-314, and prilocaine, on the other hand, stimulate the binding up to fourfold with half-maximal stimulation occurring with about 2 mM of the drugs. Lidocaine increases both the receptor affinity for ryanodine by about fivefold and the rate of ryanodine association with its binding site by about 10-fold. Tetracaine interacts with the ryanodine receptor in a non-competitive fashion with respect to ryanodine but it competes with lidocaine for its binding site, suggesting the existence of a single site for the inhibitory and stimulatory LA. The LAs also interact with the purified ryanodine receptor and produce effects similar to those with the membrane-bound receptor. Tetracaine and dibucaine inhibit binding of the photoreactive ATP analogue; [alpha-32P]benzoyl-benzoyl ATP (BzATP) to the ATP regulatory site of the ryanodine receptor, and high concentrations of ATP decrease the degree of ryanodine binding inhibition by tetracaine, indicating the relationship between the receptor conformations stabilized by ATP and LAs. Based on a structure-activity relationship, a model for the LA site of interaction in the ryanodine receptor is suggested.

Two novel natural ryanoids from extracts of the wood of Ryania speciosa Vahl were evaluated with sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles for their binding affinities and their activating and deactivating effects on Ca2+ release channels. The new ryanoids, which are more polar than the known Ryania constituents ryanodine and didehydro-(9,21)-ryanodine, were purified using silica gel column chromatography and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The new ryanoids were designated ester E and ester F, in keeping with nomenclature previously used in the literature. These compounds were identified by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy as C9ax-hydroxyryanodine and C8ax-hydroxy-C10-epi-dehydroryanodine, respectively. Binding of esters E and F to the high affinity (nanomolar Kd) site on SR Ca2+ release channels was determined from relative binding affinity assays using 6.7 nM [3H]ryanodine. Apparent Kd values of ryanodine, ester E, and ester F for binding to this domain on the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor/SR Ca2+ release channel were 4.4 +/- 0.8, 65 +/- 10, and 257 +/- 53 nM, respectively (mean +/- standard deviation, four or more experiments). Apparent Kd values for cardiac muscle receptors were 0.51 +/- 0.01, 12 +/- 0.4, and 57 nM, respectively. As a functional indication of the effects of the ryanoids, channel-opening (activator) and channel-closing (deactivator) actions were assessed from the ability of the ryanoids to alter the rate of Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded skeletal muscle junctional sarcoplasmic reticular vesicles (JSRV). Activator actions among the ryanoids were similar, in that they exhibited apparently parallel concentration-effect curves, having a slope of 40% Ca2+ loss/decade increment in ryanoid concentration. Half-maximal values for activation (EC50 values) were 2.5, 63, and 43 microM for ryanodine, ester E, and ester F, respectively. Maximal channel opening by ester E was significantly less than that produced by the other ryanoids. The deactivator actions of the compounds on skeletal JSRV were dissimilar, in that their concentration-effect curves appeared not to be parallel. The quotient of the EC50 for deactivation and that for activation was taken as the concentration-coupling ratio (CCR). The CCR for ryanodine was 114 and that for ester F was 72, but the CCR for ester E was only 21. ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation by cardiac JSRV provided a second means to evaluate deactivator actions of the ryanoids. Results from cardiac JSRV assays were in general similar to those from skeletal JSRV assays.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The single-channel activity of rabbit skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (skeletal RyR) and dog cardiac RyR was studied as a function of cytosolic [Ca2+]. The studies reveal that for both skeletal and cardiac RyRs, heterogeneous populations of channels exist, rather than a uniform behavior. Skeletal muscle RyRs displayed two extremes of behavior: 1) low-activity RyRs (LA skeletal RyRs, approximately 35% of the channels) had very low open probability (Po < 0.1) at all [Ca2+] and remained closed in the presence of Mg2+ (2 mM) and ATP (1 mM); 2) high-activity RyRs (HA skeletal RyRs) had much higher activity and displayed further heterogeneity in their Po values at low [Ca2+] (< 50 nM), and in their patterns of activation by [Ca2+]. Hill coefficients for activation (nHa) varied from 0.8 to 5.2. Cardiac RyRs, in comparison, behaved more homogeneously. Most cardiac RyRs were closed at 100 nM [Ca2+] and activated in a cooperative manner (nHa ranged from 1.6 to 5.0), reaching a high Po (> 0.6) in the presence and absence of Mg2+ and ATP. Heart RyRs were much less sensitive (10x) to inhibition by [Ca2+] than skeletal RyRs. The differential heterogeneity of heart versus skeletal muscle RyRs may reflect the modulation required for calcium-induced calcium release versus depolarization-induced Ca2+ release.

To investigate the channel properties of the mammalian type 3 ryanodine receptor (RyR3), we have cloned the RyR3 cDNA from rabbit uterus by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and expressed the cDNA in HEK293 cells. Immunoblotting studies showed that the cloned RyR3 was indistinguishable from the native mammalian RyR3 in molecular size and immunoreactivity. Ca2+ release measurements using the fluorescence Ca2+ indicator fluo 3 revealed that the cloned RyR3 functioned as a caffeine- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release channel in HEK293 cells. Functional properties of the cloned RyR3 were further characterized by using single channel recordings in lipid bilayers. The cloned RyR3 channel exhibited a K+ conductance of 777 picosiemens in 250 mM KCl and a Ca2+ conductance of 137 picosiemens in 250 mM CaCl2 and displayed a pCa2+/pK+ ratio of 6.3 and an open time constant of about 1.16 ms. The response of the cloned RyR3 to cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations was biphasic. The channel was activated by Ca2+ at about 100 nM and inactivated at about 10 mM. Ca2+ alone was able to activate the cloned RyR3 fully. Calmodulin activated the cloned RyR3 at low Ca2+ concentrations but inhibited the channel at high Ca2+ concentrations. The cloned RyR3 was activated by ATP, caffeine, and perchlorate, inhibited by Mg2+ and ruthenium red, and modified by ryanodine. Cyclic ADP-ribose did not seem to affect single channel activity of the cloned RyR3. The most prominent differences of the cloned RyR3 from the rabbit skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor were in the gating kinetics, extent of maximal activation by Ca2+, and sensitivity to Ca2+ inactivation. Results of the present study provide initial insights into the single channel properties of the mammalian RyR3.

Single-channel analysis of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles prepared from diaphragm muscle, which contains both RyR1 and RyR3 isoforms, revealed the presence of two functionally distinct ryanodine receptor calcium release channels. In addition to channels with properties typical of RyR1 channels, a second population of ryanodine-sensitive channels with properties distinct from those of RyR1 channels was observed. The novel channels displayed close-to-zero open-probability at nanomolar Ca2+ concentrations in the presence of 1 mM ATP, but were shifted to the open conformation by increasing Ca2+ to micromolar levels and were not inhibited at higher Ca2+ concentrations. These novel channels were sensitive to the stimulatory effects of cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphoribose (cADPR). Detection of this second population of RyR channels in lipid bilayers was always associated with the presence of the RyR3 isoform in muscle preparations used for single-channel measurements and was abrogated by the knockout of the RyR3 gene in mice. Based on the above, we associated the novel population of channels with the RyR3 isoform of Ca2+ release channels. The functional properties of the RyR3 channels are in agreement with a potential qualitative contribution of this channel to Ca2+ release in skeletal muscle and in other tissues.

A rapid assay for high affinity [3H]ryanodine binding to 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS)-solubilized recombinant or native Ca2+ release channel proteins (ryanodine receptor, RyR) was devised. The key to preservation of high affinity [3H]ryanodine binding sites in the presence of increasing concentrations of CHAPS was the addition of phosphatidylcholine. This assay was used to characterize the equilibrium and kinetic properties of [3H]ryanodine binding to recombinant skeletal (RyR1) and cardiac (RyR2) Ca2+ release channels and the effects on binding of physiological modulators including ATP, Ca2+, and Mg2+. Both RyR1 and RyR2 had a single high affinity ryanodine binding site and low affinity sites, but [3H]ryanodine binding to recombinant RyR2 was not sensitive to ATP activation or Ca2+ inactivation and was less sensitive to Mg2+ inhibition. The [3H]ryanodine binding assay was used to estimate the expression level of recombinant RyR2 and RyR1, and to show that RyR2 can be expressed at very high levels in HEK-293 cells. Analysis of the properties of recombinant RyR2 and RyR1 by measurement of intracellular Fura-2 fluorescence revealed that the different properties of RyR2 and RyR1 are retained in the recombinant expressed proteins.

1. The effects of Ca2+, ATP and caffeine on the gating of lobster skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors (RyR) was investigated after reconstitution of the channels into planar phospholipid bilayers and by using [3H]-ryanodine binding studies. 2. The single channel studies reveal that the EC50 (60 microM) for activation of the lobster skeletal RyR by Ca2+ as the sole ligand is higher than for any other isoform of RyR studied. 3. Inactivation of the channel by Ca2+ (EC50 = 1 mM) occurs at concentrations slightly higher than those required to inactivate mammalian skeletal RyR (RyR1) but lower than those required to inactivate mammalian cardiac RyR (RyR2). 4. Lifetime analysis demonstrates that cytosolic Ca2+, as the sole activating ligand, cannot fully open the lobster skeletal RyR (maximum Po approximately 0.2). The mechanism for the increase in open probability (Po) is an increase in both the frequency and the duration of the open events. 5. ATP is a very effective activator of the lobster RyR and can almost fully open the channel in the presence of activating cytosolic [Ca2+]. In the presence of 700 microM Ca2+, 1 mM ATP increased Po to approximately 0.8. 6. Caffeine, often used as a tool to identify the presence of RyR channels, is relatively ineffective and cannot increase Po above the level that can be attained with Ca2+ alone. 7. The results reveal that caffeine increases Po by a different mechanism to that of cytosolic Ca2+ demonstrating that the mechanism for channel activation by caffeine is not 'sensitization' to cytosolic Ca2+. 8. By studying the mechanisms involved in the activation of the lobster RyR we have demonstrated that the channel responds in a unique manner to Ca2+ and to caffeine. The results strongly indicate that these ligand binding sites on the channel are different to those on mammalian isoforms of RyR.

We characterized type 3 ryanodine receptor (RyR3) purified from rabbit diaphragm by immunoaffinity chromatography using a specific antibody. The purified receptor was free from 12-kDa FK506-binding protein, although it retained the ability to bind 12-kDa FK506-binding protein. Negatively stained images of RyR3 show a characteristic rectangular structure that was indistinguishable from RyR1. The location of the D2 segment, which exists uniquely in the RyR1 isoform, was determined as the region around domain 9 close to the corner of the square-shaped assembly, with use of D2-directed antibody as a probe. The RyR3 homotetramer had a single class of high affinity [3H]ryanodine-binding sites with a stoichiometry of 1 mol/mol. In planar lipid bilayers, RyR3 displayed cation channel activity that was modulated by several ligands including Ca2+, Mg2+, caffeine, and ATP, which is consistent with [3H]ryanodine binding activity. RyR3 showed a slightly larger unit conductance and a longer mean open time than RyR1. Whereas RyR1 showed two classes of channel activity with distinct open probabilities (Po), RyR3 displayed a homogeneous and steeply Ca2+-dependent activity with Po approximately 1. RyR3 was more steeply affected in the channel activity by sulfhydryl-oxidizing and -reducing reagents than RyR1, suggesting that the channel activity of RyR3 may be transformed more precipitously by the redox state. This is also a likely explanation for the difference in the Ca2+ dependence of RyR3 between [3H]ryanodine binding and channel activity.

1. The present review describes the mechanisms involved in controlling Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle, which ultimately regulates contraction. 2. Comparisons are made between cardiac and skeletal muscle with respect to: (i) the role of the dihydropyridine receptors (DHPR) as Ca2+ channels and voltage-sensors; (ii) the regulation of the ryanodine receptor (RyR)/Ca2+-release channels in the SR; and (iii) the importance of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. 3. It is shown that the key differences of the skeletal muscle Ca2+-release channel (RyR1), namely the increase in its stimulation by ATP and its inhibition by Mg2+, are critical for its direct regulation by the associated DHPR and, consequently, for the fast, accurate control of skeletal muscle contraction.

Since the role of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in the E-C coupling of mammalian atrial cells has long been a subject of debate, biochemical, electrophysiological and immunological assays were performed in order to define and compare the properties of the Ca(2+)-release channel-ryanodine receptor (RyR)-from atrial and ventricular tissues. Cardiac SR preparations from human, canine and ovine tissues were compared using [(3)H]ryanodine binding, channel reconstitution into planar lipid bilayers and Western blot analysis involving RyR antibodies. [(3)H]ryanodine binding assays revealed a K(d)value of; 2.5 n M for all investigated cardiac tissues. Bound [(3)H]ryanodine was Ca(2+)-dependent with similar EC(50)values of 0.43, 0.49 and 0.79 microM for human atrium, canine ventricle and ovine atrium, respectively. However the density of binding sites was 4.5 times lower in atrial than in ventricular tissues. Beyond the presence of selective K(+)channels (gamma=188 pS) recorded in the SR enriched fraction of human atrium, the activity of a large conducting (gamma=671 pS) cationic channel was also observed. The latter displayed typical characteristics of Ca(2+)-release channels which were activated by 10 microM free [Ca(2+)] and 2 m M ATP. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of the RyR2 isoform in atrial and ventricular samples whereas no immunoreactivity was detected with specific RyR1 and RyR3 antibodies. Our results, obtained at the molecular level, are consistent with the presence of functional SR in human atrial cells. The human atrial Ca(2+)-release channel displays binding and regulating properties typical of the RyR2 isoform.
