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.

In vertebrate skeletal muscles, the type 1 isoform of ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is essential in triggering contraction by releasing Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to plasma membrane depolarisation. Recently, the presence of another RyR isoform, RyR3, has been detected in mammalian skeletal muscle cells, raising the question of the eventual relevance of RyR3 for muscle cell physiology. The expression of RyR3 was investigated during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells. Using antibodies able to distinguish the different RyR isoforms and Western blot analysis, the RyR3 protein was detected in the microsomal fractions of differentiated skeletal muscle cells but not of undifferentiated cells. Accordingly, blocking muscle differentiation by the addition of either transforming growth factor-beta or basic fibroblast growth factor prevented the expression of the RyR3 protein. In differentiated skeletal muscle cells, RyR3 was expressed independent of cell fusion and myotube formation. The expression of RyR3 was also investigated during development of the diaphragm muscle. The RyR3 content in the diaphragm muscle increased between the late stage of fetal development and the first postnatal days. However, at variance with RyR1, which reached maximum levels of expression 2-3 weeks after birth, the expression of RyR3 was found to be higher in the neonatal phase of the diaphragm muscle development (2-15 days after birth) than in the same muscle from adult mice. The differential content of RyR3 in adult skeletal muscles was found not to be mediated by neurotrophic factors or electrical activity. These findings indicate that RyR3 is preferentially expressed in differentiated skeletal muscle cells. In addition, during skeletal muscle development, its expression is regulated differently from that of RyR1.

In this study, the modification of skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR)/Ca2+-release channel with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3,-diazole (Nbd-Cl) demonstrates that lysyl residues are involved in the channel gating. Nbd-Cl was found to have a dual effect: stimulation and inhibition of ryanodine binding and single channel activities. Nbd-Cl, in a time-dependent manner, first stimulated and subsequently inhibited ryanodine binding to both membrane-bound and purified RyR. Incubation of sacroplasmic reticulum membranes with Nbd-Cl for 5-20 s resulted in enhanced ryanodine-binding activity by 2-4-fold due, to an increased binding affinity by about tenfold, with no effect on the total binding sites (Bmax). However, under prolonged incubation (5-20 min), Nbd-Cl strongly inhibited ryanodine binding by decreasing the Bmax with no effect on the binding affinity. Similar effects of stimulation and inhibition by Nbd-Cl were obtained with single channel activity of RyR reconstituted into planar lipid bilayer. Nbd-Cl initially (within a few seconds) activated the channel to a highly open state, then (within a few minutes) inactivated it to the completely closed state. Nbd-Cl-modified protein, as assayed by ryanodine binding or single channel activities, was stable against thiolysis by dithiothreitol, suggesting Nbd-Cl modification of lysyl residues. Evidence from absorption and fluorescence excitation and emission spectra also demonstrated that lysyl residues in RyR were modified by Nbd-Cl. Spectrophotometric data were used to estimate a ratio of up to 1 mol Nbd bound/mol RyR (tetramer) and up to 4 mol Nbd bound per mol RyR (tetramer) for Nbd-Cl stimulated and inhibited RyR activities, respectively. The results clearly indicate the involvement of two classes of lysyl residues in RyR activity. Modification by Nbd-Cl of the fast-reacting group led to stimulation of ryanodine binding and single channel activities, while modification of the slow-reacting group resulted in inhibition of these activities. Thus, the involvement of lysine residues in the gating of the RyR channel is proposed.

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.

In the present report we studied the interaction between the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor and the ubiquitous S100A1 Ca2+ binding protein. S100A1 did not affect equilibrium [3H]ryanodine binding to purified rabbit skeletal muscle terminal cisternae at 100 microM free [Ca2+]. At nanomolar free [Ca2+], however, S100A1 activated by 40 +/- 6.7% (mean +/- SE, n = 5) the [3H]ryanodine binding activity; the half-maximal concentration for stimulation of [3H]ryanodine binding was approximately 70 nM, a value well below the estimated S100A1 concentration in skeletal muscle fibers. Scatchard analysis of [3H]ryanodine binding performed in the presence of 100 microM EGTA indicates that S100A1 increases the apparent affinity of the receptor for ryanodine (Kd = 191 vs 383 nM in the presence and in the absence of 100 nM S100A1, respectively). The effect of S100A1 was also tested on the single-channel gating properties of the purified ryanodine receptor after reconstitution into a lipid planar bilayer. Currents carried by purified ryanodine receptor channels were modulated by both cis Ca2+ and ruthenium red. In the presence of nanomolar [Ca2+], S100A1 activated the channel by increasing (6.0 +/- 2.8)-fold (mean +/- SE, n = 3) the normalized open probability. The interaction between S100A1 and the purified RYR was verified using the optical biosensor BIAcore: we show that the two proteins interact directly both at millimolar and at nanomolar calcium concentrations. We next mapped the regions of the skeletal muscle RYR involved in the interaction with S100A1 by performing ligand overlays on a panel RYR of fusion proteins in the presence of 100 nM S100A1. Our results indicate that the skeletal muscle RYR contains three potential S100A1 binding domains. Binding of S100A1 to the RYR fusion proteins occurred at both nanomolar and millimolar free [Ca2+]. S100A1 binding domain 1 binds the ligand in the presence of 1 mM free [Ca2+] or 1 mM EGTA. Maximal binding to S100A1#2 was achieved in the presence of 1 mM free [Ca2+]. The S100A1#3 domain, which overlaps with calcium-dependent calmodulin binding domain 3 (CaM 3), exhibits weak and strong S100A1 binding activity in the presence of either millimolar or nanomolar Ca2+, respectively. The interaction between S100A1 and the purified RYR complex was also investigated by affinity chromatography: in the presence of nanomolar Ca2+, we observed binding of native RYR complex to S100A1-conjugated Sepharose. This interaction could be inhibited by the presence of RYR polypeptides encompassing S100A1 binding sites S100A1#1, S100A1#2, and S100A1#3.

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.

Channels involved in the influx and intracellular mobilization of calcium have been implicated as targets of diverse genetic and immune-mediated neurological diseases. These include the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel of skeletal muscle (hypokalemic periodic paralysis), the neuronal P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel (familial hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia type 2, spinocerebellar ataxia 6, and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome), and the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (malignant hyperthermia and central core disease). The discovery of these and other calcium channelopathies should help to clarify how different mutations affect channel function and how altered channel function produces disease, and may lead to new treatments for these conditions.

The skeletal muscle relaxant dantrolene inhibits the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum during excitation-contraction coupling and suppresses the uncontrolled Ca2+ release that underlies the skeletal muscle pharmacogenetic disorder malignant hyperthermia; however, the molecular mechanism by which dantrolene selectively affects skeletal muscle Ca2+ regulation remains to be defined. Here we provide evidence of a high-affinity, monophasic inhibition by dantrolene of ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channel function in isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles prepared from malignant hyperthermia-susceptible and normal pig skeletal muscle. In media simulating resting myoplasm, dantrolene increased the half-time for 45Ca2+ release from both malignant hyperthermia and normal vesicles approximately 3.5-fold and inhibited sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicle [3H]ryanodine binding (Ki approximately 150 nM for both malignant hyperthermia and normal). Inhibition of vesicle [3H]ryanodine binding by dantrolene was associated with a decrease in the extent of activation by both calmodulin and Ca2+. Dantrolene also inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding to purified skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor protein reconstituted into liposomes. In contrast, cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicle 45Ca2+ release and [3H]ryanodine binding were unaffected by dantrolene. Together, these results demonstrate selective effects of dantrolene on skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors that are consistent with the actions of dantrolene in vivo and suggest a mechanism of action in which dantrolene may act directly at the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor complex to limit its activation by calmodulin and Ca2+. The potential implications of these results for understanding how dantrolene and malignant hyperthermia mutations may affect the voltage-dependent activation of Ca2+ release in intact skeletal muscle are discussed.

The skeletal isoform of Ca2+ release channel, RyR1, plays a central role in activation of skeletal muscle contraction. Another isoform, RyR3, has been observed recently in some mammalian skeletal muscles, but whether it participates in regulating skeletal muscle contraction is not known. The expression of RyR3 in skeletal muscles was studied in mice from late fetal stages to adult life. RyR3 was found to be expressed widely in murine skeletal muscles during the post-natal phase of muscle development, but was not detectable in muscles of adult mice, with the exception of the diaphragm and soleus muscles. RyR3 knockout mice were generated, and it was shown that skeletal muscle contraction in these mice was impaired during the first weeks after birth. In skeletal muscles isolated from newborn RyR3(-/- )mice, but not in those from adult mice, the twitch elicited by electrical stimulation and the contracture induced by caffeine were strongly depressed. These results provide the first evidence that RyR3 has a physiological role in excitation-contraction coupling of neonatal skeletal muscles. The disproportion between the low amount of RyR3 and the large impact of the RyR3 knockout suggests that this isoform contributes to the amplification of Ca2+ released by the existing population of ryanodine receptors (RyR1).

The number of dihydropyridine receptors (DHPR) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channels (RyR1) and their interaction determine the efficacy of the sarcolemmal excitation-SR Ca2+ release-contraction coupling (ECC). Both receptors play a central role in ECC as demonstrated in various animal species and muscle subtypes. In the present work we studied the effect of transgenic overexpression of human insulin-like growth factor 1 (hIGF-1) on the levels of these two Ca2+ channels in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) (fast-twitch), soleus (slow-twitch) and pool of fast- and slow-twitch muscles from adult C57BL/6 mice. Muscles from hIGF-1 transgenic mice showed a significant increase in IGF-1 concentration (20-30-fold) and in the number of DHPR (52% increase) whereas no significant change in RyR1 binding sites was detected. The differential effect on DHPR and RyR1 resulted in a 30% increase in DHPR/RyR1 ratio. Fast- and slow-twitch muscles showed 50 and 70% increase in the number of DHPR and 30 and 80% increase in DHPR/RyR1, respectively. These results support the concept that the increased autocrine/paracrine secretion of hIGF-1 exerts potent stimulatory effects on DHPR alpha1 subunit expression in adult skeletal muscle.
