Abstract
45Ca2+ fluxes and planar bilayer recordings indicated that the fatty acid metabolite palmitoyl coenzyme A, but not free coenzyme A or palmitic acid, stimulated the cardiac ryanodine receptor channel of pig heart sarcoplasmic reticulum. Palmitoyl CoA reactivated channels inhibited by concentrations of cytoplasmic free Mg2+ in the physiological range. Reactivation by palmitoyl CoA in the presence of Mg2+ was stimulated by myoplasmic free Ca2+ in the micromolar range. Acyl coenzyme A derivatives may be utilized by cardiac muscle cells to compensate for the severe Mg2+ inhibition of ryanodine receptors which would otherwise leave Ca2+ stores unresponsive to Ca2+ and to other cytosolic ligands involved in signal transduction.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of Cl- on the Ca2+ permeability of rabbit skeletal muscle junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) using 45Ca2+ fluxes and single channel recordings. In 45Ca2+ efflux experiments, the lumen of the SR was passively loaded with solutions of 150 mM univalent salt containing 5 mM 45Ca2+. Release of 45Ca2+ was measured by rapid filtration in the presence of extravesicular 0.4-0.8 microM free Ca2+ and 150 mM of the same univalent salt loaded into the SR lumen. The rate of release was 5-10 times higher when the univalent salt equilibrated across the SR-contained Cl- (Tris-Cl, choline-Cl, KCl) instead of an organic anion or other halides (gluconate-, methanesulfonate-, acetate-, HEPES-, Br-, I-). Cations (K+, Tris+) could be interchanged without a significant effect on the release rate. To determine whether Cl- stimulated ryanodine receptors, we measured the stimulation of release by ATP (5 mM total) and caffeine (20 mM total) and the inhibition by Mg2+ (0.8 mM estimated free) in Cl(-)-free and Cl(-)-containing solutions. The effects of ATP, caffeine, and Mg2+ were the largest in K-gluconate and Tris-gluconate, intermediate in KCl, and notably poor or absent in choline-Cl and Tris-Cl. Procaine (10 mM) inhibited the caffeine-stimulated release measured in K-gluconate, whereas the Cl- channel blocker clofibric acid (10 mM) but not procaine inhibited the caffeine-insensitive release measured in choline-Cl. Ruthenium red (20 microM) inhibited release in all solutions. In SR fused to planar bilayers we identified a nonselective Cl- channel (PCl: PTris: PCa = 1:0.5:0.3) blocked by ruthenium red and clofibric acid but not by procaine. These conductive and pharmacological properties suggested the channel was likely to mediate Cl(-)-dependent SR Ca2+ release. The absence of a contribution of ryanodine receptors to the Cl(-)-dependent release were indicated by the lack of an effect of Cl- on the open probability of this channel, a complete block by procaine, and a stimulation rather than inhibition by clofibric acid. A plug model of Cl(-)-dependent release, whereby Cl- removed the inhibition of the nonselective channel by large anions, was formulated under the assumption that nonselective channels and ryanodine receptor channels operated separately from each other in the terminal cisternae. The remarkably large contribution of Cl- to the SR Ca2+ permeability suggested that nonselective Cl- channels may control the Ca2+ permeability of the SR in the resting muscle cell.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression of myocardial contractility associated with the volatile anesthetics is well established clinically and experimentally. The molecular mechanisms underlying this effect, however, have not been completely characterized. Whereas the Ca2+ release channel of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) has been implicated as a potential target contributing to anesthetic-induced myocardial depression, the effect of the volatile anesthetics on this protein have not been characterized at the isolated, single-channel level. The authors sought to identify changes in channel gating and conductance resulting from exposure to halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane that would contribute to the associated negative inotropy, as well as to explain the observation that isoflurane causes less contractile depression than either halothane or enflurane. METHODS Vesicles enriched in SR were prepared from porcine left ventricular tissue. Fusion of these vesicles with artificial lipid bilayers under the experimental conditions provided single-channel recordings of the SR Ca2+ release channel. The gating properties and the conductance of these channels were determined in the presence and absence of clinical concentrations of halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane. RESULTS Halothane (1.2 vol%) and enflurane (1.6 vol%) activated the Ca2+ release channel by increasing the open probability (fraction of time that the channel is open) without altering the channel conductance. These agents altered channel gating by increasing the duration of open events, rather than the number of open events. Isoflurane (1.4 vol%) had no effect on channel gating or conductance. Halothane caused dose-dependent channel activation (0.2-1.5 vol%), and channel activation was found to be reversible upon washout of halothane from the solutions bathing the lipid bilayer. CONCLUSIONS Halothane and enflurane gate the Ca2+ release channel into the open state without altering the channel conductance. An increase in the duration of open events results from halothane and enflurane, but does not occur in the presence of isoflurane. Activation of the SR Ca2+ release channel would lead to loss of SR stores of Ca2+ into the cytoplasm, which is rapidly mobilized to the extracellular space. A net depletion of Ca2+ available for excitation-contraction coupling would result. The observation that isoflurane does not alter gating of this channel contributes to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which isoflurane depresses myocardial contractility less than halothane and enflurane.

Abstract
Membrane depolarization, neurotransmitters, and hormones evoke a release of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca(2+)-storing organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum and, in muscle, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In turn, the released Ca2+ serves to trigger a variety of cellular responses. The presence of Ca2+ pumps to replenish intracellular stores was described more than 20 years ago. The presence of Ca2+ channels, like the ryanodine receptor, which suddenly release the organelle-stored Ca2+, is a more recent finding. This review describes the progress made in the last five years on the structure, function, and regulation of the ryanodine receptor. Numerous reports have described the response of ryanodine receptors to cellular ions and metabolites, kinases and other proteins, and pharmacological agents. In many cases, comparative measurements have been made using Ca2+ fluxes in SR vesicles, single-channel recordings in planar bilayers, and radioligand binding assays using [3H]ryanodine. These techniques have helped to relate the activity of single ryanodine receptors to global changes in the SR Ca2+ permeability. Molecular information on functional domains within the primary structure of the ryanodine receptor is also available. There are at least three ryanodine receptor isoforms in various tissues. Some cells, such as amphibian muscle cells, express more than a single isoform. The diversity of ligands known to modulate gating and the diversity of tissues known to express the protein suggest that the ryanodine receptor has the potential to participate in many types of cell stimulus-Ca(2+)-release coupling mechanisms.

Abstract
The interaction of the Ca2+ binding protein calmodulin (CaM) with the ryanodine receptor of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of pig skeletal muscle was investigated by [3H]-ryanodine binding, planar bilayer recordings, and rapid filtration of 45Ca(2+)-loaded SR. Inhibition of [3H]-ryanodine binding by CAM was phosphorylation-independent, had an IC50 of approximately 0.1 microM and was optimal at 10 microM Ca(2+). CaM also inhibited [3H]-ryanodine binding to CHAPS-solubilized and purified ryanodine receptors, suggesting a direct CaM-ryanodine receptor interaction. In single channel recordings, CaM blocked Ca2+ release channels in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner by decreasing the number of open events per unit time without affecting the mean open time or unitary channel conductance. Rapid filtration of 45Ca2+ passively loaded into SR vesicles showed that CaM blocked Ca2+ release within milliseconds of exposure of SR to a Ca2+ release medium containing 10 microM CaM. In controls, an increase in extravesicular Ca2+ from 7 nM to 10 microM resulted in a release of 47 +/- 10% of the 45Ca2+ in 20 ms. CaM reduced the release to 23 +/- 12% in the same period. These results are compatible with a direct mechanism of Ca2+ release channel blockade by CaM and suggest that CaM could play a significant role in the inactivation of SR Ca2+ release during excitation-contraction coupling.

Abstract
L-thyroxine activated the Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor) of skeletal muscle. [3H]ryanodine binding was stimulated by L-thyroxine in a dose dependent manner producing a two-fold increase at 250 microM. The same concentration induced a release of approximately 40% of the 45Ca2+ passively loaded into sarcoplasmic reticulum in 100 msec. Ca2+ release channel activity monitored in planar bilayers increased in the presence of 250 microM L-thyroxine from a control open probability of 0.02 +/- 0.03 to 0.17 +/- 0.12. Thyroid hormones may directly open Ca2+ release channels of skeletal muscle, thus altering intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
The Ca(2+)-mobilizing metabolite cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) has been shown to release Ca2+ from ryanodine-sensitive stores in many cells. We show that this metabolite at a concentration of 17 microM, but not its precursor beta-NAD+ nor non-cyclic ADPR at the same concentration, is active in releasing Ca2+ from rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. The release was not sensitive to Ruthenium red (1 microM) nor to the ryanodine receptor-specific scorpion toxin Buthotus1-1 (10 microM). In planar bilayer single channel recordings, concentrations up to 50 microM cADPR did not increase the open probability of Ruthenium red and toxin-sensitive Ca2+ release channels. Thus Ca2+ release induced by cADPR in skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum may not involve opening of ryanodine receptors.

Abstract
Studies of [3H]ryanodine binding, 45Ca2+ efflux, and single channel recordings in planar bilayers indicated that the fatty acid metabolite palmitoyl carnitine produced a direct stimulation of the Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor) of rabbit and pig skeletal muscle junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum. At a concentration of 50 microM, palmitoyl carnitine (a) stimulated [3H]ryanodine binding 1.6-fold in a competitive manner at all pCa in the range 6 to 3; (b) released approximately 65% (30 nmol) of passively loaded 45Ca2+/mg protein; and (c) increased 7-fold the open probability of Ca2+ release channels incorporated into planar bilayers. Neither carnitine nor palmitic acid could reproduce the effect of palmitoyl carnitine on [3H]ryanodine binding, 45Ca2+ release, or channel open probability. 45Ca2+ release was induced by several long-chain acyl carnitines (C14, C16, C18) and acyl coenzyme A derivatives (C12, C14, C16), but not by the short-chain derivative C8 or by free saturated fatty acids of chain length C8 to C18, at room temperature or 36 degrees C. This newly identified interaction of esterified fatty acids and ryanodine receptors may represent a pathway by which metabolism of skeletal muscle could influence intracellular Ca2+ and may be responsible for the pathophysiology of disorders of beta-oxidation such as carnitine palmitoyl transferase II deficiency.

Abstract
A full-length cDNA encoding the ryanodine receptor of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was transiently expressed in COS-1 cells. Immunoblotting studies showed that the expressed ryanodine receptor and the native ryanodine receptor of rabbit skeletal muscle were indistinguishable in molecular size and immunoreactivity. Scatchard analysis of [3H]ryanodine binding to transfected COS-1 cell microsomes resulted in a Bmax of 0.22 pmol/mg of protein and a Kd of 16.2 nM. Expressed ryanodine receptors were solubilized in CHAPS and were shown to cosediment with native ryanodine receptors in a sucrose density gradient. Thus, the expressed receptor, like the native receptor, is assembled as a large oligomeric complex. Single-channel recordings in planar lipid bilayers were used to investigate the functional properties of the sucrose gradient-purified complex. The expressed ryanodine receptor formed a large conductance channel activated by ATP and Ca2+ and inhibited by Mg2+ and ruthenium red. Ryanodine reduced the conductance and increased the mean open time in a manner consistent with that of native channels. These results demonstrated that functional binding sites for the physiological ligands (Ca2+, Mg2+, and ATP) and pharmacological ligands (ruthenium red and ryanodine) controlling gating of the Ca2+ release channel are encoded in the ryanodine receptor cDNA and are faithfully expressed in COS-1 cells. Ryanodine receptors expressed in COS-1 cells displayed several conductance states > or = 1 nS not present in native channels. Such anomalous conductance states of the expressed channel might be referable to lack of muscle-specific posttranslational processing or to the need for components not present in COS-1 cells, which may be required to stabilize the channel structure.

Abstract
We report the purification of two peptides, called "imperatoxin inhibitor" and "imperatoxin activator," from the venom of the scorpion Pandinus imperator targeted against ryanodine receptor Ca(2+)-release channels. Imperatoxin inhibitor has a M(r) of approximately 10,500, inhibits [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal and cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum with an ED50 of approximately 10 nM, and blocks openings of skeletal and cardiac Ca(2+)-release channels incorporated into planar bilayers. In whole-cell recordings of cardiac myocytes, imperatoxin inhibitor decreased twitch amplitude and intracellular Ca2+ transients, suggesting a selective blockade of Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Imperatoxin activator has a M(r) of approximately 8700, stimulates [3H]ryanodine binding in skeletal but not cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum with an ED50 of approximately 6 nM, and activates skeletal but not cardiac Ca(2+)-release channels. These ligands may serve to selectively "turn on" or "turn off" ryanodine receptors in fragmented systems and whole cells.

Abstract
Single-channel properties of a polypeptide fraction from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans highly enriched in binding sites were studied in planar bilayers. [3H]Ryanodine binding sites were purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation of C. elegans microsomes solubilized in CHAPS detergent. The highest [3H]ryanodine binding activity sedimented at approximately 18% sucrose (wt/vol), and was composed of a major polypeptide with a M(r) of 360,000 and a minor polypeptide with a M(r) of 170,000. The ryanodine-binding polypeptide(s) formed a Ca(2+)-permeable channel with a permeability ratio P(divalent)/P(monovalent) = 4 and two conductance states of 215 pS and 78 pS in 0.25 M KCl. Ryanodine locked the channel in the 78 pS state and inhibited transitions between the 215 pS and 78 pS states. These data demonstrated the presence of a ryanodine receptor in C. elegans with functional properties comparable to those described in mammalian muscle.

Abstract
We tested whether the hydantoin muscle relaxants dantrolene, azumolene, or aminodantrolene could alter the binding of [3H]PN200-110 to transverse tubule dihydropyridine receptors or the binding of [3H]ryanodine to junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels. All three drugs inhibited [3H]PN200-110 binding with azumolene (IC50 approximately 20 microM) 3-5 times more potent than dantrolene or aminodantrolene. In contrast, 100 microM azumolene and dantrolene produced a small inhibition of [3H]ryanodine binding (less than 25%) while aminodantrolene was essentially inert. Hence there was a preferential interaction of hydantoins with dihydropyridine receptors instead of ryanodine receptors. Skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptors may participate in the mechanism of action of dantrolene and azumolene.

Abstract
The effect of clinical concentrations of volatile anesthetics on ryanodine receptors of cardiac and skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was evaluated using [3H]ryanodine binding. At 2 volume percent, halothane and enflurane stimulated binding to cardiac SR by 238% and 204%, respectively, while isoflurane had no effect. In contrast, halothane and enflurane had no effect on [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal ryanodine receptors, while isoflurane produced a significant stimulation. These results suggest that volatile anesthetics interact in a site-specific manner with ryanodine receptors of cardiac or skeletal muscle to effect Ca2+ release-channel gating.

Abstract
The kinetics of Ca2+ release induced by the second messenger D-myoinositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3), by the hydrolysis-resistant analogue D-myoinositol 1,4,5 trisphosphorothioate (IPS3), and by micromolar Ca2+ were resolved on a millisecond time scale in the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of rabbit skeletal muscle. The total Ca2+ mobilized by IP3 and IPS3 varied with concentration and with time of exposure. Approximately 5% of the 45Ca2+ passively loaded into the SR was released by 2 microM IPS3 in 150 ms, 10% was released by 10 microM IPS3 in 100 ms, and 20% was released by 50 microM IPS3 in 20 ms. Released 45Ca2+ reached a limiting value of approximately 30% of the original load at a concentration of 10 microM IP3 or 25-50 microM IPS3. Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) was studied by elevating the extravesicular Ca2+ while maintaining a constant 5-mM intravesicular 45Ca2+. An increase in extravesicular Ca2+ from 7 nM to 10 microM resulted in a release of 55 +/- 7% of the passively loaded 45Ca2+ in 150 ms. CICR was blocked by 5 mM Mg2+ or by 10 microM ruthenium red, but was not blocked by heparin at concentrations as high as 2.5 mg/ml. In contrast, the release produced by IPS3 was not affected by Mg2+ or ruthenium red but was totally inhibited by heparin at concentrations of 2.5 mg/ml or lower. The release produced by 10 microM Ca2+ plus 25 microM IPS3 was similar to that produced by 10 microM Ca2+ alone and suggested that IP3-sensitive channels were present in SR vesicles also containing ruthenium red-sensitive Ca2+ release channels. The junctional SR of rabbit skeletal muscle may thus have two types of intracellular Ca2+ releasing channels displaying fast activation kinetics, namely, IP3-sensitive and Ca(2+)-sensitive channels.

Abstract
We identified a peptide fraction from the venom of the scorpion Buthotus hottentota that stimulated binding of [3H]ryanodine to ryanodine receptors of skeletal and cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and brain microsomes in a highly specific manner. Activity was concentrated in a peptide fraction of Mr 5,000-8,000. Assuming a single active peptide in this fraction, we estimated a dissociation constant of 20-30 nM for the interaction of the peptide with the ryanodine receptor. The whole venom and the purified fraction activated skeletal ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The venom produced a 10-fold increase in the mean open time and induced the appearance of a long lasting subconductance state not seen in controls. Changes were reversible and could be induced by the partially purified venom fraction. This novel scorpion venom should be helpful in establishing the role of ryanodine receptors in the initiation of intracellular Ca2+ release in striated muscle and in nonmuscle cells containing functional ryanodine receptors such as neurons and secretory cells.

Abstract
The binding properties of [3H]ryanodine, a specific ligand of the receptor complex that forms the Ca2+ release channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum, were studied in normal (N) and malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MH) human skeletal muscle. Integrity of the solubilized ryanodine receptor was demonstrated by single-channel recordings in planar bilayers and by the changes produced by activators and inhibitors of the Ca2+ release channel on the binding properties of [3H]ryanodine. N and MH receptors were capable of binding [3H]ryanodine in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Scatchard analysis showed that a single binding site for [3H]ryanodine was present in either N or MH muscle. Binding affinity was approximately the same in N and MH (Kd approximately 7 nM), when the Ca2+ concentration was greater than 30 microM. At 0.3 microM Ca2+, MH receptors displayed a higher affinity for [3H]ryanodine (Kd = 4.1 +/- 1.0 nM) than N receptors (Kd = 7.1 +/- 0.8 nM). The presence of a single Kd for [3H]ryanodine in MH muscle, distinct from that of N muscle, indicated that MH muscle does not have detectable levels of N receptors. Ca2+ dependence of [3H]ryanodine binding further suggested that MH receptors had a higher affinity for Ca2+ (Kd[Ca2+] = 120 +/- 50 nM) than N receptors (Kd[Ca2+] = 250 +/- 80 nM). Caffeine increased [3H]ryanodine binding at submicromolar [Ca2+], and the effect was larger in MH. Apparent affinity constants for caffeine were 13 +/- 1.8 mM in N and 6 +/- 0.8 mM in MH receptors. Evidently, the ryanodine receptor of MH-susceptible human skeletal muscle has an unusually high sensitivity to Ca2+ which is augmented by caffeine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The release of stored Ca2+ from intracellular pools triggers a variety of important neuronal processes. Physiological and pharmacological evidence has indicated the presence of caffeine-sensitive intracellular pools that are distinct from the well-characterized inositol 1,4,5,-trisphosphate (IP3)-gated pools. Here we report that the brain ryanodine receptor functions as a caffeine- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release channel that is distinct from the brain IP3 receptor. The brain ryanodine receptor has been purified 6700-fold with no change in [3H]ryanodine binding affinity and shown to be a homotetramer composed of an approximately 500 kd protein subunit, which is identified by anti-peptide antibodies against the skeletal and cardiac muscle ryanodine receptors. Our results demonstrate that the brain ryanodine receptor functions as a caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ release channel and thus is the likely gating mechanism for intracellular caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ pools in neurons.

Abstract
Radioligand binding experiments and single channel recordings demonstrate that verapamil interacts with the ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscle. In isolated triads, verapamil decreased binding of [3H]Ryanodine with an IC50 of approximately 8 microM at an optimal pH 8.5 and pCa 4.3. Nitrendipine and d-cis-diltiazem did not interfere with binding of [3H]Ryanodine to triads, suggesting that the action of verapamil does not involve the dihydropyridine receptor. Single channel recordings showed that verapamil blocked Ca2+ release channels by decreasing open probability, duration of open events, and number of events per unit time. A direct interaction of verapamil with the ryanodine receptor peptide was demonstrated after purification of the approximately 400 kDa receptor protein from Chaps-solubilized triads. The purified receptor displayed high affinity for [3H]Ryanodine with a Kd of approximately 5 nM and a Bmax of approximately 400 pmol/mg. Verapamil and D600 decreased [3H]Ryanodine binding noncompetitively by reducing the Bmax. Thus the presence of binding sites for phenylalkylamines in the Ca2+ release channel was confirmed. Verapamil blockade of Ca2+ release channels may explain some of the paralyzing effects of phenylalkylamines observed during excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The effectiveness of the nonmetabolizable second messenger analogue DL-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate (IPS3) described by Cooke, A. M., R. Gigg, and B. V. L. Potter, (1987b. Jour. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1525-1526.) was examined in triads purified from rabbit skeletal muscle. A Ca2+ electrode uptake-release assay was used to determine the size and sensitivity of the IPS3-releasable pool of Ca2+ in isolated triads. Uptake was initiated by 1 mM MgATP, pCa 5.8, pH 7.5 Release was initiated when the free Ca2+ had lowered to pCa approximately 7. We found that 5-25 microM myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), and separately IPS3, consistently released 5-20% of the Ca2+ pool actively loaded into triads. Single channel recording was used to determine if ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels were affected by IPS3 at the same myoplasmic Ca2+ and IPS3 concentrations. Open probability of ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels was monitored in triads fused to bilayers over long periods (200 s) in the absence and following addition of 30 microM IPS3 to the same channel. At myoplasmic pCa approximately 7, IPS3 had no effect in the absence of MgATP (Po = 0.0094 +/- 0.001 in control and Po = 0.01 +/- 0.006 after IPS3) and slightly increased activity in the presence of 1 mM MgATP (Po = 0.024 +/- 0.03 in control and Po = 0.05 +/- 0.03 after IPS3). Equally small effects were observed at higher myoplasmic Ca2+. The onset of channel activation by IPS3 or IP3 was slow, on the time scale 20-60 s. We suggest that in isolated triads of rabbit skeletal muscle, IP3-induced release of stored Ca2+ is probably not mediated by the opening of Ca2+ release channels.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated a defect associated with the calcium release mechanism of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) from individuals susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH). To examine whether SR calcium release channels were indeed altered in MH, SR vesicles were purified from normal and MH susceptible (MHS) porcine muscle. The Ca2+ dependence of calcium efflux rates from 45Ca2(+)-filled SR vesicles was then compared with the Ca2+ dependence of single-channel recordings of SR vesicles incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The rate constants of 45Ca2+ efflux from MHS SR were two to threefold larger than from normal SR over a wide range of myoplasmic Ca2+. Normal and MHS single channels were progressively activated in a similar fashion by cis Ca2+ from pCa 7 to 4. However, below pCa 4, normal channels were inactivated by cis Ca2+, whereas MHS channels remained open for significantly longer times. The altered Ca2+ dependence of channel inactivation in MHS SR was also evident when Ca2+ was increased on the trans side while cis Ca2+ was held constant. We propose that a defect in a low-affinity Ca2+ binding site is responsible for the altered gating of MHS SR channels. Such a defect could logically result from a mutation in the gene encoding the calcium release channel, providing a testable hypothesis for the molecular basis of this inherited disorder.

Abstract
The effects of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following transmural myocardial infarction can be devastating; therefore, prompt diagnosis and surgical resection are warranted. We report a rare case of recurrent left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in which color-flow Doppler echocardiography was useful in establishing the diagnosis.

Abstract
The agonist effect of the dihydropyridine (DHP) (-)Bay K 8644 and the inhibitory effects of nine antagonist DHPs were studied at a constant membrane potential of 0 mV in Ca channels of skeletal muscle transverse tubules incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. Four phenylalkylamines (verapamil, D600, D575, and D890) and d-cis-diltiazem were also tested. In Ca channels activated by 1 microM Bay K 8644, the antagonists nifedipine, nitrendipine, PN200-110, nimodipine, and pure enantiomer antagonists (+)nimodipine, (-)nimodipine, (+)Bay K 8644, inhibited activity in the concentration range of 10 nM to 10 microM. Effective doses (ED50) were 2 to 10 times higher when HDPs were added to the internal side than when added to the external side. This sidedness arises from different structure-activity relationships for DHPs on both sides of the Ca channel since the ranking potency of DHPs is PN200-110 greater than (-)nimodipine greater than nifedipine approximately S207-180 on the external side while PN200-110 greater than S207-180 greater than nifedipine approximately (-)nimodipine on the internal side. A comparison of ED50's for inhibition of single channels by DHPs added to the external side and ED50's for displacement of [3H]PN200-110 bound to the DHP receptor, revealed a good quantitative agreement. However, internal ED50's of channels were consistently higher than radioligand binding affinities by up to two orders of magnitude. Evidently, Ca channels of skeletal muscle are functionally coupled to two DHP receptor sites on opposite sides of the membrane.

Abstract
We have characterized the K+ channel of canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in terms of its gating kinetics and conductance states. We demonstrate that the open channel dwells in two states, O1 and O2, where O1 is a true subconductance state of O2. The two open states are linked with a closed state by a cyclic gating scheme. Under certain circumstances, however, important information can be derived using a binary model. Each open state separately exhibited an ohmic current-voltage relation with unitary conductance values of 105 (O1) and 189 (O2) pS in 0.1 M K+. Gating between closed and open states was weakly voltage dependent, and we derive reaction rate constants for the state transitions. Finally, we postulate three models to explain the existence of a subconductance state (blockade, stenosis, flutter). We argue that a flutter model best accounts for our observations of O1.
