Abstract
Skeletal muscle excitation–contraction (E–C) coupling is altered in several models of phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PtdInsP) phosphatase deficiency and ryanodine receptor activity measured in vitro was reported to be affected by certain PtdInsPs, thus prompting investigation of the physiological role of PtdInsPs in E–C coupling. We measured intracellular Ca2+ transients in voltage-clamped mouse muscle fibres microinjected with a solution containing a PtdInsP substrate (PtdIns(3,5)P2 or PtdIns(3)P) or product (PtdIns(5)P or PtdIns) of the myotubularin phosphatase MTM1. No significant change was observed in the presence of either PtdIns(5)P or PtdIns but peak SR Ca2+ release was depressed by ~30% and 50% in fibres injected with PtdIns(3,5)P2 and PtdIns(3)P, respectively, with no concurrent alteration in the membrane current signals associated with the DHPR function as well as in the voltage dependence of Ca2+ release inactivation. In permeabilized muscle fibres, the frequency of spontaneous Ca2+ release events was depressed in the presence of the three tested phosphorylated forms of PtdInsP with PtdIns(3,5)P2 being the most effective, leading to an almost complete disappearance of Ca2+ release events. Results support the possibility that pathological accumulation of MTM1 substrates may acutely depress ryanodine receptor-mediated Ca2+ release. Overexpression of a mCherry-tagged form of MTM1 in muscle fibres revealed a striated pattern consistent with the triadic area. Ca2+ release remained although unaffected by MTM1 overexpression and was also unaffected by the PtdIns-3-kinase inhibitor LY2940002, suggesting that the 3-phosphorylated PtdIns lipids active on voltage-activated Ca2+ release are inherently maintained at a low level, inefficient on Ca2+ release in normal conditions.

Abstract
In this work, we tested whether L-type Ca(2+ )channels are involved in the increase of caffeine-evoked tension in frog slow muscle fibers. Simultaneous net Ca(2+) fluxes and changes in muscle tension were measured in the presence of caffeine. Isometric tension was recorded by a mechanoelectrical transducer, and net fluxes of Ca(2+) were measured noninvasively using ion-selective vibrating microelectrodes. We show that the timing of changes in net fluxes and muscle tension coincided, suggesting interdependence of the two processes. The effects of Ca(2+)channel blockers (verapamil and gadolinium) were explored using 6 mM: caffeine; both significantly reduced the action of caffeine on tension and on calcium fluxes. Both caffeine-evoked Ca(2+) leak and muscle tension were reduced by 75% in the presence of 100 microM: GdCl(3), which also caused a 92% inhibition of net Ca(2+) fluxes in the steady-state condition. Application of 10 microM: verapamil to the bath led to 30% and 52% reductions in the Ca(2+)leak caused by the presence of caffeine for the peak and steady-state values of net Ca(2+) fluxes, respectively. Verapamil (10 microM): caused a 30% reduction in the maximum values of caffeine-evoked muscle tension. Gd(3+)was a more potent inhibitor than verapamil. In conclusion, L-type Ca(2+) channels appear to play the initial role of trigger in the rather complex mechanism of slow fiber contraction, the latter process being mediated by both positive Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+ )release and negative (Ca(2+) removal from cytosol) feedback loops.

Abstract
The effects of eugenol on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and contractile apparatus of chemically skinned skeletal muscle fibers of the frog Rana catesbeiana were investigated. In saponin-skinned fibers, eugenol (5 mmol/L) induced muscle contractions, probably by releasing Ca(2+) from the SR. The Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release blocker ruthenium red (10 micromol/L) inhibited both caffeine- and eugenol-induced muscle contractions. Ryanodine (200 micromol/L), a specific ryanodine receptor/Ca(2+) release channel blocker, promoted complete inhibition of the contractions induced by caffeine, but only partially blocked the contractions induced by eugenol. Heparin (2.5 mg/mL), an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor blocker, strongly inhibited the contractions induced by eugenol but had only a small effect on the caffeine-induced contractions. Eugenol neither altered the Ca(2+) sensitivity nor the maximal force in Triton X-100 skinned muscle fibers. These data suggest that muscle contraction induced by eugenol involves at least 2 mechanisms of Ca(2+) release from the SR: one related to the activation of the ryanodine receptors and another through a heparin-sensitive pathway.

Abstract
Human normal (RCMH) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (RCDMD) cell lines, as well as newly developed normal and dystrophic murine cell lines, were used for the study of both changes in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) mass and IP3 binding to receptors. Basal levels of IP3 were increased two- to threefold in dystrophic human and murine cell lines compared to normal cell lines. Potassium depolarization induced a time-dependent IP3 rise in normal human cells and cells of the myogenic mouse cell line (129CB3), which returned to their basal levels after 60 s. However, in the human dystrophic cell line (RCDMD), IP3 levels remained high up to 200 s after potassium depolarization. Expression of IP3 receptors was studied measuring specific binding of 3H-IP3 in the murine cell lines (normal 129CB3 and dystrophic mdx XLT 4-2). All the cell lines bind 3H-IP3 with relatively high affinity (Kd: between 40 and 100 nmol/L). IP3 receptors are concentrated in the nuclear fraction, and their density is significantly higher in dystrophic cells compared to normal. These findings together with high basal levels of IP3 mass suggest a possible role for this system in the deficiency of intracellular calcium regulation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Abstract
The effect of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was investigated in mechanically skinned fibres which had the endogenous level of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ and in which the normal excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling mechanism was still functional. Application of 50 or 100 microM IP3 failed to induce a detectable force response in any such skinned fibre from either the extensor digitorum longus muscle of the rat or iliofibularis muscle of the toad, irrespective of whether the fibre was: (a) in its normally polarized, resting state; (b) chronically depolarized to inactivate the voltage sensors; (c) paralysed with D600; or (d) depolarized to threshold for force activation. Furthermore, the size of the response to subsequent depolarization or exposure to caffeine (2mM) or reduced myoplasmic [Mg2+] indicated that little if any Ca2+ had been lost from the SR during the period of IP3 exposure (> or = 1 min). Also, IP3 did not induce a detectable force response when SR Ca2+ uptake was potently inhibited with 20 microM TBQ. Exposure to IP3 (50 microM) slightly potentiated the peak force response to depolarization in toad fibres, and this was probably because of an accompanying small increase in Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus. These results appear inconsistent with the proposal that IP3 acts as the second messenger in E-C coupling in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Two second messengers, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), potentiated the Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum induced by transverse tubular membrane depolarization monitored in a triadic vesicle prepared from skeletal muscle. However, without depolarization they could not trigger the Ca2+ release. On the contrary, only cADPR potentiated caffeine-induced Ca2+ release. Because Ca2+ releases potentiated by cADPR and IP3 were inhibited by 1 microM ruthenium red and 100 microM ryanodine, probably these second messengers potentiated the Ca2+ release through ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channels. These results suggest that in skeletal excitation-contraction coupling, cADPR and IP3 play a role as a potentiator or a modifier in vivo, but both modification pathways are different from each other.

Abstract
Heparin inhibits inositol trisphosphate receptors, particularly in smooth muscle, but its effect on skeletal muscle is controversial. Our study showed that heparin induced a decrease in the amplitude of 10 mM caffeine-induced contracture in slow and fast saponin-skinned fibres. Moreover, measurements on Triton X-100-skinned fibres in soleus muscle showed that heparin alone decreased maximal Ca2(+)-activated tension and Ca2+ sensitivity of contractile proteins, whereas no significant effect was observed in extensor digitorum longus muscle. However, in the presence of caffeine, heparin decreased maximal Ca2(+)-activated tension in both muscles. It would appear that the heparin-induced decrease in the amplitude of caffeine contracture in rat skeletal muscle was not related to a direct inhibition of Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum but to a desensitising effect of heparin and caffeine on myofilaments.

Abstract
This study is an investigation into the modulatory effects of heparin, a component of the extracellular matrix that binds to dihydropyridine receptors, on contraction and Ca2+ channels in frog skeletal muscle. Using tension and Ca2+ signal measurements in single intact skeletal muscle cells we have found that heparin (100-200 micrograms ml-1) substantially potentiates twitch and tetanic tension (55% and 28%, respectively). In contrast, heparin reduces the amplitude of K+ contractures. Heparin most likely potentiates twitch tension by prolonging action potentials. The ionic basis of this effect was investigated in voltage-clamp experiments. Membrane currents were monitored in voltage-clamped segments of single fibres using the triple Vaseline gap technique. We found that heparin partially blocks delayed rectifier potassium channels. The depressive effects of heparin on K+ contractures prompted us to investigate the effects of heparin on charge movement and Ca2+ currents (ICa) under voltage-clamp. Charge movement was measured using a subtraction procedure that employed a -20 mV control pulse from a holding potential of -100 mV. Heparin depresses the total charge by 25%. We propose that the reduction in the amplitude of potassium contractures is related to a partial blockade of charge movement. Extracellular heparin shifts the ICa-V relation toward more negative voltages and delays the deactivation of tail currents. Double pulse experiments revealed that conditioning depolarizations speed the activation of ICa during test depolarizations. Heparin does not affect this process. The primary action of heparin is to accelerate the activation of ICa during pulses not preceded by conditioning depolarizations. Overall, the kinetic effects of heparin on ICa would increase the Ca2+ influx associated with action potentials. However, mechanical and optical experiments performed in Ca(2+) -free solutions and in the presence of Ca2+ channel blockers revealed that twitch and tetanic potentiation occur even in the absence of Ca(2+) -influx.

Abstract
Microinjection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) into intact skeletal muscle fibers isolated from frogs (Rana temporaria) increased resting cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) as measured by double-barreled Ca2+-selective microelectrodes. In contrast, microinjection of inositol 1-phosphate, inositol 1,4-biphosphate, and inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate did not induce changes in [Ca2+]i. Incubation in low-Ca2+ solution, or in the presence of L-type Ca2+ channel blockers did not affect InsP3-induced release of cytosolic Ca2+. Neither ruthenium red, a blocker of ryanodine receptor Ca2+-release channels, nor cytosolic Mg2+, a known inhibitor of the Ca2+-induced Ca2+-release process, modified the InsP3-induced release of cytosolic Ca2+. However, heparin, a blocker of InsP3 receptors, inhibited InsP3-induced release of cytosolic Ca2+. Also, pretreatment with dantrolene or azumulene, two inhibitors of cytosolic Ca2+ release, reduced [Ca2+]i, and prevented InsP3 from inducing release of cytosolic Ca2+. Incubation in caffeine or lengthening of the muscle increased [Ca2+]i and enhanced the ability of InsP3 to induce release of cytosolic Ca2+. These results indicate that InsP3, at physiological concentrations, induces Ca2+ release in intact muscle fibers, and suggest that the InsP3-induced Ca2+ release is regulated by [Ca2+]i. A Ca2+-dependent effect of InsP3 on cytosolic Ca2+ release could be of importance under physiological or pathophysiological conditions associated with alterations in cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
Single slow (tonic) muscle fibres were dissected from cruralis muscles of Rana temporaria and R. esculenta. Increasing concentrations of caffeine were applied in Ringer solution, and contractures were measured isometrically. Sigmoid caffeine concentration-response curves were obtained, the threshold value being near 1.2 mmol/l, and maximum contractures being obtained with 10 to 20 mmol/l concentrations of caffeine. Contracture solutions were modified by varying the Ca2+ concentration or by replacing Ca2+ with 1.8 mmol/l Mg2+, Ni2+, Co2+ or with 0.1-5.0 mmol/l La3+. The effects of low pH (5.3), K+ (6,10 and 95 mmol/l), adenosine (10 mmol/l) and gallopamil (D600; 30 micromol/l) were examined too. The caffeine threshold was lowered by Mg2+, K+, 0 .1 mmol/l La3+ and D600, while all other substances including 0.5-5.0 mmol/l La3+ increased it. The amplitude of contractures evoked by high caffeine concentrations was unaffected. Caffeine (1-40 mmol/l) was also pressure injected into slow fibres. The composition of the solution was modified in a number of ways, but a contractile response was not observed or measured. Extracellular application of caffeine from the same pipettes evoked local contractures. Similar injection experiments in twitch fibres revealed the same results. These observations suggest that an extracellular binding site seems to be involved in the initiation of caffeine-evoked contractures in intact frog muscle fibres. Possible reasons for the ineffectiveness of intracellular caffeine are discussed.

Abstract
The phospholipase C isoform responsible for the increase in the total myoplasmic inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate concentration during tetanic contraction of isolated skeletal muscle and its mechanism of activation is not known. We have cloned and sequenced a phospholipase C cDNA of rabbit skeletal muscle coding for a protein of 745 amino acids with a molecular mass of 84,440 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibits the phospholipase C-specific domains X and Y which according to current knowledge very likely represent the catalytic centre of the enzyme. An overall sequence homology of 88% to the phospholipase C-delta 1 of rat brain suggests that the encoded protein represents a phospholipase C-delta 1 isoform of rabbit skeletal muscle. Northern blot analysis shows, that this phospholipase C-delta is dominantly expressed in skeletal muscle, less strongly in smooth muscle (uterus) and lung and weakly in heart, kidney and brain. In the N-terminal part of the primary structure a consensus sequence for a canonical EF-hand Ca2+ binding domain can be identified together with a short positively charged motif which recently has been suggested to be essential for the binding of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. If these two domains which are unique for phospholipase C-delta are sufficient in establishing a mechanism for the activation of the enzyme, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation in skeletal muscle could be the consequence of an increase in myoplasmic Ca2+.

Abstract
Activation of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in neonatal cardiac myocytes results in changes in contractile activity and the induction of hypertrophic growth. The biochemical mechanisms responsible for these diverse effects are not yet established, but presumably involve the associated alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis, with concomitant generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 and diacylglycerol. This study examined whether alpha 1-adrenergic generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 in intact, quiescent, neonatal cardiac myocytes resulted in a Ca2+ signal. Stimulation of myocytes with norepinephrine in the presence of propranolol caused accumulation of inositol mono-, bis and trisphosphates. However, alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation did not alter cytosolic free Ca2+ levels in 85% of the myocytes examined. Direct generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3, by photolysis of microinjected caged Ins 1,4,5-P3, was also unable to alter cytosolic free Ca2+ levels, despite the presence of Ins 1,4,5-P3 receptors. Taken together, these data indicated that alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation did not initiate Ca2+ signaling because Ins 1,4,5-P3-induced Ca2+ mobilization was not operative in quiescent neonatal cardiac myocytes. Normal excitation-contraction Ca2+ handling mechanisms were present in these cells, as illustrated by depolarization- and caffeine-induced Ca2+ transients. Analysis of these same myocytes following 48 h in the presence of norepinephrine and propranolol showed a 40% increase in the ratio of protein to DNA and a 350% increase in release of atrial naturietic factor, compared to control cells, indicating the normal operation of alpha 1-adrenergic-induced hypertrophic growth. Therefore, the assumption that Ca(2+)-dependent processes will be activated by receptor signaling pathways coupled to enhanced phosphatidylinositol turnover in cardiac cells must be avoided. In addition, the data presented in this study clearly indicated that an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ was not necessary for the induction of alpha 1-adrenergic-mediated cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
In soluble and particulate extracts from muscle D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] and D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4] are metabolised stepwise to inositol. Ins(1,4,5)P3 is rapidly dephosphorylated to D-myo-inositol 1,4-bisphosphate then to D-myo-inositol 4-phosphate and finally inositol. In soluble extracts Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is dephosphorylated to D-myo-inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate then sequentially to D-myo-inositol 3,4-bisphosphate, D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate and inositol, while in particulate extracts D-myo-inositol 1,3-bisphosphate is the predominant inositol bisphosphate formed. Dephosphorylation of these inositol polyphosphates is Mg2+ dependent and inhibited by D-2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid. Ins(1,4,5)P3 is also phosphorylated to form Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 in soluble extracts by Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase activity is Mg2+ and ATP dependent and is stimulated by Ca2+ and calmodulin. Particulate (sarcotubular) inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5-phosphatase) is found in membranes which are intimately involved in excitation-contraction coupling and the generation of the primary Ca2+ signal of muscle cells. Particulate 5-phosphatase had the highest specific activity in the transverse-tubule membrane, when compared to the terminal cisternae and longitudinal-tubule membranes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Particulate Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-3-phosphatase activity was also detected after fractionation of solubilised sarcotubular membranes by DEAE-Sephacel. Particulate 5-phosphatase activity was purified 25,600-fold to a specific activity of 25.6 mumol Ins(1,4,5)P3 hydrolysed.min-1.mg protein-1, after DEAE-Sephacel and novel affinity chromatography using D-2,3-bisphosphoglycerate/agarose and Sepharose-4B-immobilised Ins(1,4,5)P3-analog matrices. Purified particulate 5-phosphatase had apparent Km of 46.3 microM and 1.9 microM and Vmax of 115 and 0.046 mumol substrate hydrolysed.min-1.mg protein-1, for Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, respectively. In contrast, purified soluble type I 5-phosphatase had apparent Km of 8.9 microM and 1.1 microM and Vmax of 3.55 and 0.13 mumol substrate hydrolysed.min-1.mg protein-1, for Ins(1,4,5P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, respectively. As in other cells, muscle 5-phosphatases have a lower affinity, but a higher capacity to metabolise Ins(1,4,5)P3 than Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Soluble type I 5-phosphatase may have a functional role in the metabolism of both inositol polyphosphates, while particulate 5-phosphatase may primarily metabolise Ins(1,4,5)P3. Purified Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase had an apparent Km of 0.42 microM and a Vmax of 4.12 nmol Ins(1,4,5)P3 phosphorylated.min-1.mg protein-1. The profile of inositol polyphosphate metabolism in muscle is similar to that reported in other tissues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The total membrane concentrations of PtdIns, PtdIns4P, and PtdIns(4,5)P2 contribute to the functional capacity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 signalling system which is operating in skeletal muscle but the function of which is still unknown. Total amounts of these phosphoinositides have been determined in purified membranes of transverse tubules (TT) and terminal cisternae (TC) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of rabbit skeletal muscle. PtdIns and PtdIns4P have been detected in both membrane systems whereas PtdIns(4,5)P2 (290 mumol/mol phospholipid) is confined only to TT. A much greater pool of PtdIns(4,5)P2 seems, however, to be located in the sarcolemma away from the triadic junction.

Abstract
1. The mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores by D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate[Ins(1,4,5)P3] is now widely accepted as the primary link between plasma membrane receptors that stimulate phospholipase C and the subsequent increase in intracellular free Ca2+ that occurs when such receptors are activated (Berridge, 1993). Since the observations of Volpe et al. (1985) which showed that Ins(1,4,5)P3 could induce Ca2+ release from isolated terminal cisternae membranes and elicit contracture of chemically skinned muscle fibres, research has focused on the role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the generation of SR Ca2+ transients and in the mechanism of excitation-contraction coupling (EC-coupling). 2. The mechanism of signal transduction at the triadic junction during EC-coupling is unknown. Asymmetric charge movement and mechanical coupling between highly specialized triadic proteins has been proposed as the primary mechanism for voltage-activated generation of SR Ca2+ signals and subsequent contraction. Ins(1,4,5)P3 has also been proposed as the major signal transduction molecule for the generation of the primary Ca2+ transient produced during EC-coupling. 3. Investigations on the generation of Ca2+ transients by Ins(1,4,5)P3 have been conducted on ion channels incorporated into lipid bilayers, skinned and intact fibres and isolated membrane vesicles. Ins(1,4,5)P3 induces SR Ca2+ release and the enzymes responsible for its synthesis and degradation are present in muscle tissue. However, the sensitivity of the Ca2+ release mechanism to Ins(1,4,5)P3 is highly dependent on experimental conditions and on membrane potential. 4. While Ins(1,4,5)P3 may not be the major signal transduction molecule for the generation of the primary Ca2+ signal produced during voltage-activated contraction, this inositol polyphosphate may play a functional role as a modulator of EC-coupling and/or of the processes of myoplasmic Ca2+ regulation occurring on a time scale of seconds, during the events of contraction.

Abstract
1. Intracellularly applied heparin was found to cause a novel, use-dependent block of excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in skinned skeletal muscle fibres of the toad. After one to four depolarizations in the presence of 100 micrograms ml-1 heparin, no further depolarization-induced responses could be elicited, even though addition of caffeine or lowering [Mg2+] could still induce massive Ca2+ release. This effect could not be reversed by extensive wash-out of the heparin (> 15 min). 2. Heparin (100 micrograms ml-1) did not abolish subsequent depolarization-induced responses if applied while the voltage sensors were in either their resting or inactivated states, that is (a) while a fibre remained fully polarized, (b) when a fibre was already chronically depolarized or (c) after a fibre had been depolarized in the presence of D600 (gallopamil) and then repolarized. 3. When a toad fibre was depolarized in heparin, with the associated Ca2+ release blocked by the presence of 10 mM intracellular Mg2+, subsequent E-C coupling was abolished. Heparin did not interrupt E-C coupling when Ca2+ release was triggered in the absence of any depolarization, by either caffeine or low [Mg2+]. Thus, the opening of the Ca2+ release channels was neither necessary nor sufficient for heparin to abolish E-C coupling. 4. Heparin had direct effects on the contractile apparatus in toad fibres, increasing the Ca2+ sensitivity and decreasing the maximum Ca(2+)-activated force. These effects could only be partly reversed by extensive wash-out of heparin. 5. At 100 micrograms ml-1, both low molecular weight heparin and pentosanpolysulphate, another highly sulphated polysaccharide, were less effective than heparin in blocking the depolarization-induced response and in changing the properties of the contractile apparatus, and these effects could be substantially reversed by wash-out. Two other polyanions, de-N-sulphated heparin (100 micrograms ml-1), which lacked N-sulphate groups, and polyglutamate (500 micrograms ml-1), had no measurable effect on either E-C coupling or the contractile apparatus. 6. In skinned fibres of the extensor digitorum longus muscle of the rat, 100 micrograms ml-1 heparin had little or no effect on E-C coupling and on the Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus, but caused a larger reduction of the maximum Ca(2+)-activated force than in skinned fibres of the toad. 7. These results indicate that heparin blocks E-C coupling in toad muscle if, and only if, it is present when the voltage sensors are activated by depolarization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Recent findings on the ryanodine receptor of vertebrates, a Ca-release channel protein for the caffeine- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca pools, are reviewed in this article. Three distinct genes, i.e., ryr1, ryr2, and ryr3, express different isoforms in specific locations: Ryr1 in skeletal muscle and Purkinje cells of cerebellum; Ryr2 in cardiac muscle and brain, especially cerebellum; Ryr3 in skeletal muscle of nonmammalian vertebrates, the corpus striatum, and limbic cortex of brain, smooth muscles, and the other cells in vertebrates. While only one isoform (Ryr1) is expressed in mammalian skeletal muscles, two isoforms (alpha- and beta-isoforms expressed by ryr1 and ryr3, respectively) are found in nonmammalian vertebrate skeletal muscles. Although the coexistence of two isoforms may merely be related to differentiation and specialization, the biological significance remains to be clarified. Ryanodine receptors in vertebrate skeletal muscles are believed to mediate two different modes of Ca release: Ca(2+)-induced Ca release and action potential-induced Ca release. All results obtained so far with any isoform of ryanodine receptor are related to Ca(2+)-induced Ca release and show very similar characteristics. Ca(2+)-induced Ca release, however, cannot be the underlying mechanism of Ca release on skeletal muscle activation. Susceptibility of the ryanodine receptor's ryanodine-binding activity to modification by physical factors, such as osmolality of the medium, might be related to action potential-induced Ca release. A hypothesis of molecular interaction in view of the plunger model of action potential-induced Ca release is discussed, suggesting that the model could be compatible with Ryr1 and Ryr3, but incompatible with Ryr2. The functional relevance of ryanodine receptor isoforms, especially Ryr3, in brain also remains to be clarified. Among ryr1 gene-related diseases, malignant hyperthermia was the first to be identified; however, there is still the possibility of involvement of the other genes. Central core disease has been added to the list recently. A molecular approach for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases is now in progress.
