A region in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor between amino acids 4014 and 4765 was expressed as a trpE fusion protein. Overlay studies revealed that this region bound Ca2+ and ruthenium red, an indicator of Ca(2+)-binding sites. Ca2+ binding was mapped to subregion 13b between amino acids 4246 and 4377, encompassing a predicted high affinity Ca(2+)-binding site, and to subregion 13c between amino acids 4364 and 4529, encompassing two predicted high affinity Ca(2+)-binding sites. Ca2+ binding was then mapped to three shorter sequences, 22(13b1), 36(13c1), and 35(13c2), amino acids long, each encompassing one of the three predicted Ca(2+)-binding sites. Site-directed polyclonal antibodies were raised against these three short sequences and purified on antigen affinity columns. The antibody against sequence 13c2, lying between residues 4478 and 4512, specifically recognized both denatured and native forms of the ryanodine receptor, suggesting that at least part of the 35 amino acid sequence containing the Ca(2+)-binding site is surface-exposed. The affinity purified antibody increased the Ca2+ sensitivity of ryanodine receptor channels incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, resulting in increased open probability and opening time without altering channel conductance. The antibody-activated channel was still modulated by Ca2+, Mg2+, ATP, ryanodine, and ruthenium red. These observations suggest that sequence 13c2 may be involved in Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release.

In this study, the binding of [3H]ryanodine to liver microsomal subfractions was investigated. The specific binding of [3H]ryanodine, as determined both by vacuum filtration and by ultracentrifugation, is to a single class of high-affinity binding sites with a Kd of 10 +/- 2.5 nM and density of 500 +/- 100 and 1200 +/- 200 fmol/mg of protein by the filtration and centrifugation methods respectively. [3H]Ryanodine binding reached equilibrium in about 1 min and 2 min at 36 degrees C and 24 degrees C respectively, and the half-time of dissociation at 37 degrees C was approx. 15 s. The binding of [3H]ryanodine is Ca(2+)-independent: it is slightly stimulated by NaCl, Mg2+, ATP and InsP3 but strongly inhibited by caffeine, diltiazem and sodium dantrolene. Thus the binding of ryanodine to endoplasmic reticulum membranes shares some of the characteristics of its binding to the sarcoplasmic reticulum but also differs from it in several important properties, such as its Ca(2+)-independence, its rapid association and dissociation, and its inhibition by caffeine. The structural similarities between the skeletal muscle and liver binding sites were further explored by employing in vitro DNA amplification techniques, using the known sequence of the skeletal muscle receptor as reference point. The data obtained with this method indicate that the liver does not process mRNA for the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor.

In earlier studies (Chen, S. R. W., Zhang, L., and MacLennan, D. H. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 23318-23326), an amino acid sequence, designated 13c2, lying between amino acid residues 4478 and 4512 in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor was shown, through the use of a polyclonal antibody, to be involved in Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release. In the present study, an immobilized synthetic peptide, PEPEPEPEPE, corresponding to part of the predicted high affinity Ca2+ binding site between residues 4489 and 4499, was used to purify specific antibodies from an anti-13c2 rabbit antiserum. The effect of this affinity-purified, anti-peptide (anti-13cp1) antibody on Ca2+ release channel function was then characterized using single channel recordings across planar lipid bilayers. The anti-peptide antibody inhibited Ca(2+)- or caffeine-activated channel activities without closing the channel but did not diminish ATP-activated channel activity. The addition of ATP reversed the inhibition of the Ca(2+)- or caffeine-activated channel by the antibody, and the antibody-bound, ATP-activated channel was further modulated by Mg2+, ryanodine, and ruthenium red. The major epitopes in the anti-13c2 antibody, previously shown to activate the Ca2+ release channel by increasing the Ca2+ sensitivity of the channel, did not lie in the PE repeat. These results suggest that the PE repeat sequence forms a site involved in the Ca2+ activation pathway.

We have tested the periodate-oxidized ATP analogue 2',3'-dialdehyde adenosine triphosphate (oATP) as a ligand for the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor/Ca(2+)-release channel. Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles of skeletal muscle is biphasic. oATP stimulates the initial phase of Ca2+ release in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 160 microM), and the efflux proceeds with a half-time in the range 100-200 ms. This oATP-modulated initial rapid Ca2+ release was specifically inhibited by millimolar concentrations of Mg2+ and micromolar concentrations of Ruthenium Red, indicating that the effect of oATP was mediated via the ryanodine receptor. The purified Ca(2+)-release channel was incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, and single-channel recordings were carried out to verify a direct interaction of oATP with the ryanodine receptor. Addition of oATP to the cytoplasmic side activated the channel with an EC50 of 76 microM, which is roughly 30-fold higher than the apparent affinity of ATP. The oATP-induced increase in the open probability of the ryanodine receptor displays a steep concentration-response curve with a Hill coefficient of approximately 2, which suggests a co-operativity of the ATP binding sites in the tetrameric protein. oATP binds to the ryanodine receptor in a quasi-irreversible manner via Schiff base formation between the aldehyde groups of oATP and amino groups in the nucleotide binding pocket. This allows for the covalent specific incorporation of [alpha-32P]oATP by borhydride reduction. A typical adenine nucleotide binding site cannot be identified in the primary sequence of the ryanodine receptor. Our results demonstrate that oATP can be used to probe the structure and function of the nucleotide binding pocket of the ryanodine receptor and presumably of other ATP-regulated ion channels.

The fluorogenic maleimide 7-diethylamino-3-(4'-maleimidylphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin (CPM) has been shown to selectively form Michael adducts with hyperreactive sulfhydryls on the skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ryanodine receptor (RyR1) and triadin which are essential for normal Ca2+ channel function (Liu, G., Abramson, J.J., Zable, A.C., and Pessah, I.N. (1994) Mol. Pharmacol. 45, 189-200). The present report demonstrates a functionally important interaction between RyR1 and triadin which involves, in part, redox cycling of hyperreactive sulfhydryls in response to channel activation and inactivation. Nanomolar CPM is shown to selectively label RyR1 and triadin only in the presence of Ca2+ channel inhibitors (Mg2+, neomycin, ruthenium red, or anti-triadin antibody). Treatment of SR with channel activators (micromolar Ca2+, nanomolar ryanodine, or millimolar caffeine), 1) slows CPM labeling kinetics > 10-fold, 2) negates CPM labeling of channel-associated sulfhydryls, and 3) stabilizes a high molecular weight complex (HMWC) which appears on nonreducing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels. The HMWC is positively identified as RyR1 and triadin by Western blot and immunoprecipitation analyses. High-affinity [3H]ryanodine-binding sites are immunoprecipitated by either anti-RyR1 or anti-triadin antibody dose dependently. 1,4-Naphthoquinone (< or = 40 pmol/micrograms protein) selectively oxidizes hyperreactive sulfhydryls on RyR1 and triadin, induces Ca2+ efflux from SR, and stabilizes the HMWC. The HMWC is reduced by beta-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol into its component RyR1 and triadin promoters. The results provide direct evidence for the existence of a functionally important complex between RyR1 and triadin whose stability is determined by the redox state of hyperreactive sulfhydryl moieties which are allosterically regulated by physiological and pharmacological channel ligands. The present results suggest a possible molecular mechanism by which localized transient changes in the redox state within the RyR1-triadin complex can signal information across the SR membrane.

The effects of ionic composition and strength on rabbit skeletal muscle Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor) activity were investigated in vesicle-45Ca2+ flux, single channel and [3H]ryanodine binding measurements. In <0.01 microM Ca2+ media, the highest 45Ca2+ efflux rate was measured in 0.25 M choline-Cl medium followed by 0.25 M KCl, choline 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid (Mes), potassium 1,4-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid (Pipes), and K-Mes medium. In all five media, the 45Ca2+ efflux rates were increased when the free [Ca2+] was raised from <0.01 microM to 20 microM and decreased as the free [Ca2+] was further increased to 1 mM. An increase in [KCl] augmented Ca2+-gated single channel activity and [3H]ryanodine binding. In [3H]ryanodine binding measurements, bell-shaped Ca2+ activation/inactivation curves were obtained in media containing different monovalent cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+, and choline+) and anions (Cl-, Mes-, and Pipes-). In choline-Cl medium, substantial levels of [3H]ryanodine binding were observed at [Ca2+] <0.01 microM. Replacement of Cl- by Mes- or Pipes- reduced [3H]ryanodine binding levels at all [Ca2+]. In all media, the Ca2+-dependence of [3H]ryanodine binding could be well described assuming that the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor possesses cooperatively interacting high-affinity Ca2+ activation and low-affinity Ca2+ inactivation sites. AMP primarily affected [3H]ryanodine binding by decreasing the apparent affinity of the Ca2+ inactivation site(s) for Ca2+, while caffeine increased the apparent affinity of the Ca2+ activation site for Ca2+. Competition studies indicated that ionic composition affected Ca2+-dependent receptor activity by at least three different mechanisms: (i) competitive binding of Mg2+ and monovalent cations to the Ca2+ activation sites, (ii) binding of divalent cations to the Ca2+ inactivation sites, and (iii) binding of anions to specific anion regulatory sites.

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.

We investigated type 3 isoform (RyR3) of ryanodine receptor in rabbit skeletal muscles using an antibody specific for RyR3. By Western blot analysis and by immunoprecipitation, a single polypeptide for RyR3 was detected in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit diaphragm but not in those from back muscle. The molecular mass was slightly smaller than that of RyR1, the major isoform in skeletal muscles. Each of RyR1 and RyR3 formed a homotetramer in rabbit diaphragm. RyR3 had a single class of [3H]ryanodine binding sites of high affinity (KD = 1.6 nM). From the Bmax of the binding, the content of RyR3 was estimated to be only 0.6% of RyR1 in rabbit diaphragm. -3H-Ryanodine binding to RyR3 was biphasically dependent on Ca2+, as is true of RyR1, and was stimulated further by adenine nucleotide, caffeine, or high salt concentration. Procaine and ruthenium red inhibited the binding. RyR3 was more resistant to Mg2+ inhibition than RyR1. Interestingly, RyR3 showed about a 7-fold lower Ca2+ sensitivity for activation than RyR1. Comparison with the counterparts in bullfrog skeletal muscles indicates that the Ca2+ sensitivities of RyR3 homologs are similar to each other, whereas those of RyR1 homologs are species-specific.

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.

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.
