The skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor of malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) pigs contains a mutation at residue 615 that is highly correlated with various abnormalities in the regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ channel activity. In isolated SR membranes the Arg615 to Cys615 ryanodine receptor mutation is now shown to be directly responsible for an altered tryptic peptide map, due to the elimination of the Arg615 cleavage site. Furthermore, trypsin treatment released 86-99 kDa ryanodine receptor fragments encompassing residue 615 from the SR membranes. We conclude that the 86-99 kDa domain containing residue 615 is near the cytoplasmic surface of the ryanodine receptor and likely near important Ca2+ channel regulatory sites.

The subunit structure of the rabbit skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor-Ca2+ release channel complex was examined following solubilization of heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes in two zwitterionic detergents, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid (Chaps) and Zwittergent 3-14. High and low affinity [3H]ryanodine binding was retained upon solubilization of the complex in Chaps but was lost in Zwittergent 3-14. The purified complex migrated as a single peak with an apparent sedimentation coefficient of approximately 30 and approximately 9 S upon density gradient centrifugation and with isoelectric points of 3.7 and 3.9 upon two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in Chaps and Zwittergent 3-14, respectively. Electron microscopy of negatively stained samples indicated that the distinct four-leaf clover structure of the ryanodine receptor observed in Chaps disappeared following Zwittergent treatment of the 30 S complex and instead showed smaller, round particles. Ferguson plot analysis following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of partial and fully cross-linked and incompletely denatured complexes suggested a stoichiometry of four Mr approximately 400,000 peptides/30 S ryanodine receptor oligomer. [3H]Ryanodine binding to the membrane-bound receptor in 50 microM--1 mM free Ca2+ revealed the presence of both high affinity (KD = 8 nM, Hill coefficient (nH) = 0.9) and low affinity (nH approximately 0.45) sites with a ratio of 1:3. Reduction in free Ca2+ to less than or equal to 0.1 microM or trypsin digestion of the membranes resulted in loss of high affinity but not low affinity ryanodine binding (Hill KD = 5,000 nM, nH = 0.9). Addition of 20 mM caffeine to the nanomolar Ca2+ medium decreased the Hill KD to 1,000 nM without changing the Hill coefficient. Occupation of the low affinity sites altered the rate of [3H]ryanodine dissociation from the high affinity sites. Single channel recordings of the purified ryanodine receptor channel incorporated into planar lipid bilayers also indicated the existence of high and low affinity sites for ryanodine, occupation of which resulted in formation of a subconducting and completely closed state of the channel, respectively. These results are compatible with a subunit structural model of the 30 S ryanodine receptor-Ca2+ release channel complex which comprises a homotetramer of negatively charged and allosterically coupled polypeptides of Mr approximately 400,000.

A polypeptide of high molecular mass has been detected in mammalian brain by a monoclonal antibody, 5C3, raised against skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor. 5C3 does not crossreact with the cardiac ryanodine receptor, the isoform which is believed to be located in many regions of the brain. Endogenous proteases in brain formed a prominent immunogenic fragment of 116 kDa whereas five immunostaining polypeptides greater than 200 kDa were observed in skeletal muscle. Mild trypsin digestion of brain microsomes resulted in fragments of approximately 400 and approximately 280 kDa, of similar mass to two peptides formed from the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor. However a peptide of 28 kDa, resistant to trypsin, was observed in muscle but not in brain. The brain polypeptide recognised by 5C3 is therefore not identical to the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor.

The Ca2+ release channel of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum is modulated in a biphasic manner by the plant alkaloid ryanodine and there are two distinct binding sites on this channel for ryanodine. The Ca2+ release channel is a homotetramer with a subunit of 5037 amino acids. The ability of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes to bind [3H]ryanodine to the high affinity site is lost upon proteolysis with trypsin. [3H]Ryanodine, however, bound before proteolysis remains bound after trypsin digestion. If the high affinity site is first occupied with [3H]ryanodine and then 100 microM ryanodine is added to occupy the low affinity sites, almost all of [3H]ryanodine bound to the high affinity site remains bound after proteolysis. Proteolysis causes the solubilized Ca2+ release channel containing bound [3H]ryanodine to undergo four discrete shifts in sedimentation (30 S-->28 S-->26 S-->19 S-->14 S). Polypeptides having apparent molecular masses of 76, 66, 56, 45, 37, and 27 kDa can be identified in the 14 S complex. The 76-, 56-, 45-, and 27-kDa polypeptides have been partially sequenced from the NH2 terminus. In addition, the 76-, 66-, and 27-kDa fragments are recognized by an antibody to the last 9 amino acids at the carboxyl terminus of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor and the 76-, 66-, and 37-kDa fragments are recognized by an antibody to a peptide matching the sequence 4670-4685. The 56-kDa and the 45-kDa fragments are not Ca2+ release channel fragments. Both high and low affinity ryanodine binding sites are found in the 14 S complex and are, therefore, most likely located between Arg-4475 and the carboxyl terminus.

The role of the sequence surrounding M4 in ryanodine receptors (RyR) in membrane association and function was investigated. This sequence contains a basic, 19-amino acid M3/M4 loop, a hydrophobic 44-49 amino acid sequence designated M4 (or M4a/M4b), and a hydrophilic M4/M5 loop. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was inserted into RyR1 and truncated just after the basic sequence, just after M4, within the M4/M5 loop, just before M5 and just after M5. The A52 epitope was inserted into RyR2 and truncated just after M4a. Analysis of these constructs ruled out a M3/M4 transmembrane hairpin and narrowed the region of membrane association to M4a/M4b. EGFP inserted between M4a and M4b in full-length RyR2 was altered conformationally, losing fluorescence and gaining trypsin sensitivity. Although it was accessible to an antibody from the cytosolic side, tryptic fragments were membrane-bound. The expressed protein containing EGFP retained caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release channel function. These results suggest that M4a/M4b either forms a transmembrane hairpin or associates in an unorthodox fashion with the cytosolic leaflet of the membrane, possibly involving the basic M3/M4 loop. The expression of a mutant RyR1, Delta4274-4535, deleted in the sequence surrounding both M3 and M4, restored robust, voltage-gated L-type Ca(2+) currents and Ca(2+) transients in dyspedic myotubes, demonstrating that this sequence is not required for either orthograde (DHPR activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release) or retrograde (RyR1 increase in DHPR Ca(2+) channel activity) signals of excitation-contraction coupling. Maximal amplitudes of L-currents and Ca(2+) transients with Delta4274-4535 were larger than with wild-type RyR1, and voltage-gated sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release was more sensitive to activation by sarcolemmal voltage sensors. Thus, this region may act as a negative regulatory module that increases the energy barrier for Ca(2+) release channel opening.
