mRNA and protein analyses have previously shown that the diaphragm expresses two ryanodine receptor isoforms: RyR1 and RyR3. RyR1 is the main Ca2+-releasing pathway in this muscle type. We now report the conducting, gating, and immunological properties of the native and purified forms of the less abundant RyR3 channel. The conductance of this native Ca2+-release channel was 330 pS in 50 mM/250 mM trans/cis CsCH3SO3. It was activated by Ca2+ concentrations of 1-1000 microM, and did not inactivate at mM concentrations of Ca2+. Both isoforms were purified by either a sucrose density gradient or immunoprecipitation as > 450 kDa proteins on SDS-PAGE. Western blot analysis confirmed the presence of RyR1 and RyR3, which displayed conductances of 740 +/- 30 and 800 +/- 25 pS, respectively, in 250 mM KCl. We thus provide evidence that one form of the diaphragm SR Ca2+-release channels may be classified as RyR3, with gating properties different from those of the well-characterized RyR1 and RyR2 isoforms.

A highly conserved amino acid sequence, GVRAGGGIGD(4831), which may form part of the Ca(2+) release channel pore in RyR2, was subjected to Ala scanning or Ala to Val mutagenesis; function was then measured by expression in HEK-293 cells, followed by Ca(2+) photometry, high affinity [(3)H]ryanodine binding, and single-channel recording. All mutants except I4829A and I4829T (corresponding to the I4897T central core disease mutant in RyR1) displayed caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release in HEK-293 cells; only mutants G4826A, I4829V, and G4830A retained high affinity [(3)H]ryanodine binding; and single-channel function was found for all mutants tested, except for G4822A and A4825V. EC(50) values for caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release were increased for G4822A, R4824A, G4826A, G4828A, and D4831A; decreased for V4823A; and unchanged for A4825V, G4827A, I4829V, and G4830A. Ryanodine (10 microm), which did not stimulate Ca(2+) release in wild type (wt), did so in Ala mutants in amino acids 4823-4827. It inhibited the caffeine response in wt and most mutants, but enhanced the amplitude of caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release in mutant G4828A. It also restored caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release in mutants I4829A and I4829T. In single-channel recordings, mutants I4829V and G4830A retained normal conductance, whereas all others had decreased unitary channel conductances ranging from 27 to 540 picosiemens. Single-channel modulation was retained in G4826A, I4829V, and G4830A, but was lost in other mutants. In contrast to wt and G4826A, I4829V, and G4830A, in which divalent metals were preferentially conducted, mutants with loss of modulation had no selectivity of divalent cations over a monovalent cation. Analysis of Gly(4822) to Asp(4831) mutants in RyR2 supports the view that this highly conserved sequence constitutes part of the ion-conducting pore of the Ca(2+) release channel and plays a key role in ryanodine and caffeine binding and activation.

This study compared the relative levels of ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoforms, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) isoforms, and calcineurin, plus their association with FKBP12 in brain, skeletal and cardiac tissue. FKBP12 demonstrated a very tight, high affinity association with skeletal muscle microsomes, which was displaced by FK506. In contrast, FKBP12 was not tightly associated with brain or cardiac microsomes and did not require FK506 for removal from these organelles. Furthermore, of the proteins solubilised from skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and brain microsomes, only skeletal muscle RyR1 bound to an FKBP12-glutathione-S-transferase fusion protein, in a high affinity FK506 displaceable manner. These results suggest that RyR1 has distinctive FKBP12 binding properties when compared to RyR2, RyR3, all IP(3)R isoforms and calcineurin.

In striated muscles, excitation-contraction coupling is mediated by the functional interplay between dihydropyridine receptor L-type calcium channels (DHPR) and ryanodine receptor calcium-release channel (RyR). Although significantly different molecular mechanisms are involved in skeletal and cardiac muscles, bidirectional cross-talk between the two channels has been described in both tissues. In the present study using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, we demonstrate that both RyR1 and RyR2 can bind to structural elements of the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of alpha(1C). The interaction is restricted to the CB and IQ motifs involved in the calmodulin-mediated Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of the DHPR, suggesting functional interactions between the two channels.

The effect of imperatoxin A (IpTx(a)) on the ryanodine receptor type 3 (RyR3) was studied. IpTx(a) stimulates [(3)H]ryanodine binding to RyR3-containing microsomes, but this effect requires toxin concentrations higher than those required to stimulate RyR1 channels. The effect of IpTx(a) on RyR3 channels was observed at calcium concentrations in the range 0.1 microM to 10 mM. By contrast, RyR2 channels were not significantly affected by IpTx(a) in the same calcium ranges. Single channel current measurements indicated that IpTx(a) induced subconductance state in RyR3 channels that was similar to those observed with RyR1 and RyR2 channels. These results indicate that IpTx(a) is capable of inducing similar subconductance states in all three RyR isoforms, while stimulation of [(3)H]ryanodine binding by this toxin results in isoform-specific responses, with RyR1 being the most sensitive channel, RyR3 displaying an intermediate response and RyR2 the least responsive ones.

Intracellular Ca(2+) levels control both contraction and relaxation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Ca(2+)-dependent relaxation is mediated by discretely localized Ca(2+) release events through ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). These local increases in Ca(2+) concentration, termed sparks, stimulate nearby Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels causing BK currents (spontaneous transient outward currents or STOCs). STOCs are hyperpolarizing currents that oppose vasoconstriction. Several RyR isoforms are coexpressed in VSMCs; however, their role in Ca(2+) spark generation is unknown. To provide molecular information on RyR cluster function and assembly, we examined Ca(2+) sparks and STOCs in RyR3-deficient freshly isolated myocytes of resistance-sized cerebral arteries from knockout mice and compared them to Ca(2+) sparks in cells from wild-type mice. We used RT-PCR to identify RyR1, RyR2, and RyR3 mRNA in cerebral arteries. Ca(2+) sparks in RyR3-deficient cells were similar in peak amplitude (measured as F/F(0)), width at half-maximal amplitude, and duration compared with wild-type cell Ca(2+) sparks. However, the frequency of STOCs (between -60 mV and -20 mV) was significantly higher in RyR3-deficient cells than in wild-type cells. Ca(2+) sparks and STOCs in both RyR3-deficient and wild-type cells were inhibited by ryanodine (10 micromol/L), external Ca(2+) removal, and depletion of SR Ca(2+) stores by caffeine (1 mmol/L). Isolated, pressurized cerebral arteries of RyR3-deficient mice developed reduced myogenic tone. Our results suggest that RyR3 is part of the SR Ca(2+) spark release unit and plays a specific molecular role in the regulation of STOCs frequency in mouse cerebral artery VSMCs after decreased arterial tone.

In skeletal muscle, excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and retrograde signaling are thought to result from direct interactions between the ryanodine receptor (RyR1) and the alpha(1) subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor (alpha(1S)). Previous work has shown that the s53 region of alpha(1S) (residues 720-765 in the II-III loop) and regions R10 (1635-2636) and R9 (2659-3720) of RyR1 are involved in this signaling. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we here report an interaction between s53 and the sR16 region of RyR1 (1837-2168, within R10), whereas no interaction was seen using upstream residues of the alpha(1S) II-III loop (s31, 666-709). The specificity of the s53-sR16 interaction was tested by using fragments of the cardiac RyR (RyR2) and DHPR (alpha(1C)) that correspond to sR16 and s53, respectively. No interaction was observed for sR16 x c53 (alpha(1C) 850-897), but weak interaction was occasionally observed for s53 x cR16 (RyR2 1817-2142). To test the functional significance of the s53 x sR16 interaction, we expressed in dyspedic myotubes a chimeric RyR (chimeraR16) in which sR16 was substituted for the corresponding region of RyR2. ChimeraR16 was found to mediate weak skeletal-type EC coupling. To test the necessity of sR16 sequence for coupling, we used "chimeraR16-rev," in which sR16 and a small upstream region of RyR1 were replaced by RyR2 sequence. ChimeraR16-rev did not differ from RyR1 in its ability to mediate EC coupling. Thus, interaction between residues 720-765 of alpha(1S) and residues 1837-2168 of RyR1 appears to contribute to but is not essential for EC coupling in skeletal muscle.

The cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2), the major calcium release channel on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in cardiomyocytes, has recently been shown to be involved in at least two forms of sudden cardiac death (SCD): (1) Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) or familial polymorphic VT (FPVT); and (2) Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 2 (ARVD2). Eleven RyR2 missense mutations have been linked to these diseases. All eleven RyR2 mutations cluster into 3 regions of RyR2 that are homologous to the three malignant hyperthermia (MH)/central core disease (CCD) mutation regions of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel RyR1. MH/CCD RyR1 mutations have been shown to alter calcium-induced calcium release. Sympathetic nervous system stimulation leads to phosphorylation of RyR2 by protein kinase A (PKA). PKA phosphorylation of RyR2 activates the channel. In conditions associated with high rates of SCD such as heart failure RyR2 is PKA hyperphosphorylated resulting in "leaky" channels. SR calcium leak during diastole can generate "delayed after depolarizations" that can trigger fatal cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., VT). We propose that RyR2 mutations linked to genetic forms of catecholaminergic-induced SCD may alter the regulation of the channel resulting in increased SR calcium leak during sympathetic stimulation.

The properties of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) from rat dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) have been studied. The density of RyRs (Bmax) determined by [3H]ryanodine binding was 63 fmol/mg protein with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.5 nM. [3H]Ryanodine binding increased with caffeine, decreased with ruthenium red and tetracaine, and was insensitive to millimolar concentrations of Mg2+ or Ca2+. DRG RyRs reconstituted in planar lipid bilayers were Ca2+-dependent and displayed the classical long-lived subconductance state in response to ryanodine; however, unlike cardiac and skeletal RyRs, they lacked Ca2+-dependent inactivation. Antibodies against RyR3, but not against RyR1 or RyR2, detected DRG RyRs. Thus, DRG RyRs are immunologically related to RyR3, but their lack of divalent cation inhibition is unique among RyR subtypes.

FK506 binding proteins 12 and 12.6 (FKBP12 and FKBP12.6) are intracellular receptors for the immunosuppressant drug FK506 (ref. 1). The skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is isolated as a hetero-oligomer with FKBP12 (ref. 2), whereas the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) more selectively associates with FKBP12.6 (refs 3, 4, 5). FKBP12 modulates Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle and developmental cardiac defects have been reported in FKBP12-deficient mice, but the role of FKBP12.6 in cardiac excitation-contraction coupling remains unclear. Here we show that disruption of the FKBP12.6 gene in mice results in cardiac hypertrophy in male mice, but not in females. Female hearts are normal, despite the fact that male and female knockout mice display similar dysregulation of Ca2+ release, seen as increases in the amplitude and duration of Ca2+ sparks and calcium-induced calcium release gain. Female FKBP12.6-null mice treated with tamoxifen, an oestrogen receptor antagonist, develop cardiac hypertrophy similar to that of male mice. We conclude that FKBP12.6 modulates cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and that oestrogen plays a protective role in the hypertrophic response of the heart to Ca2+ dysregulation.
