Abstract
The type-1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is an intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channel required for skeletal muscle contraction. Here, we present cryo-EM reconstructions of RyR1 in multiple functional states revealing the structural basis of channel gating and ligand-dependent activation. Binding sites for the channel activators Ca(2+), ATP, and caffeine were identified at interdomain interfaces of the C-terminal domain. Either ATP or Ca(2+) alone induces conformational changes in the cytoplasmic assembly ("priming"), without pore dilation. In contrast, in the presence of all three activating ligands, high-resolution reconstructions of open and closed states of RyR1 were obtained from the same sample, enabling analyses of conformational changes associated with gating. Gating involves global conformational changes in the cytosolic assembly accompanied by local changes in the transmembrane domain, which include bending of the S6 transmembrane segment and consequent pore dilation, displacement, and deformation of the S4-S5 linker and conformational changes in the pseudo-voltage-sensor domain.

Abstract
Ryanodine is a cell permeant plant alkaloid that binds selectively and with high affinity to ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca(2+) release channels. Sub-micromolar ryanodine concentrations activate RyR channels while micromolar concentrations are inhibitory. Several reports indicate that neuronal synaptic plasticity, learning and memory require RyR-mediated Ca(2+)-release, which is essential for muscle contraction. The use of micromolar (inhibitory) ryanodine represents a common strategy to suppress RyR activity in neuronal cells: however, micromolar ryanodine promotes RyR-mediated Ca(2+) release and endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) depletion in muscle cells. Information is lacking in this regard in neuronal cells; hence, we examined here if addition of inhibitory ryanodine elicited Ca(2+) release in primary hippocampal neurons, and if prolonged incubation of primary hippocampal cultures with inhibitory ryanodine affected neuronal ER calcium content. Our results indicate that inhibitory ryanodine does not cause Ca(2+) release from the ER in primary hippocampal neurons, even though ryanodine diffusion should produce initially low intracellular concentrations, within the RyR activation range. Moreover, neurons treated for 1 h with inhibitory ryanodine had comparable Ca(2+) levels as control neurons. These combined findings imply that prolonged incubation with inhibitory ryanodine, which effectively abolishes RyR-mediated Ca(2+) release, preserves ER Ca(2+) levels and thus constitutes a sound strategy to suppress neuronal RyR function.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Memory is an essential human cognitive function. Consequently, to unravel the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for the synaptic plasticity events underlying memory formation, storage and loss represents a major challenge of present-day neuroscience. RECENT ADVANCES This review article first describes the wide-ranging functions played by intracellular Ca2+ signals in the activity-dependent synaptic plasticity processes underlying hippocampal spatial memory, and next, it focuses on how the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels, the ryanodine receptors, and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors contribute to these processes. We present a detailed examination of recent evidence supporting the key role played by Ca2+ release channels in synaptic plasticity, including structural plasticity, and the formation/consolidation of spatial memory in the hippocampus. CRITICAL ISSUES Changes in cellular oxidative state particularly affect the function of Ca2+ release channels and alter hippocampal synaptic plasticity and the associated memory processes. Emphasis is placed in this review on how defective Ca2+ release, presumably due to increased levels of reactive oxygen species, may cause the hippocampal functional defects that are associated to aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). FUTURE DIRECTIONS Additional studies should examine the precise molecular mechanisms by which Ca2+ release channels contribute to hippocampal synaptic plasticity and spatial memory formation/consolidation. Future studies should test whether redox-modified Ca2+ release channels contribute toward generating the intracellular Ca2+ signals required for sustained synaptic plasticity and hippocampal spatial memory, and whether loss of redox balance and oxidative stress, by altering Ca2+ release channel function, presumably contribute to the abnormal memory processes that occur during aging and AD.

Abstract
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a G-coupled protein expressed in renal juxtaglomerular (JG) cells. Its activation stimulates calcium-mediated decreases in cAMP content and inhibits renin release. The postreceptor pathway for the CaSR in JG cells is unknown. In parathyroids, CaSR acts through G(q) and/or G(i). Activation of G(q) stimulates phospholipase C (PLC), and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), releasing calcium from intracellular stores. G(i) stimulation inhibits cAMP formation. In afferent arterioles, the ryanodine receptor (RyR) enhances release of stored calcium. We hypothesized JG cell CaSR activation inhibits renin via the PLC/IP(3) and also RyR activation, increasing intracellular calcium, suppressing cAMP formation, and inhibiting renin release. Renin release from primary cultures of isolated mouse JG cells (n = 10) was measured. The CaSR agonist cinacalcet decreased renin release 56 ± 7% of control (P < 0.001), while the PLC inhibitor U73122 reversed cinacalcet inhibition of renin (104 ± 11% of control). The IP(3) inhibitor 2-APB also reversed inhibition of renin from 56 ± 6 to 104 ± 11% of control (P < 0.001). JG cells were positively labeled for RyR, and blocking RyR reversed CaSR-mediated inhibition of renin from 61 ± 8 to 118 ± 22% of control (P < 0.01). Combining inhibition of IP(3) and RyR was not additive. G(i) inhibition with pertussis toxin plus cinacalcet did not reverse renin inhibition (65 ± 12 to 41 ± 8% of control, P < 0.001). We conclude stimulating JG cell CaSR activates G(q), initiating the PLC/IP(3) pathway, activating RyR, increasing intracellular calcium, and resulting in calcium-mediated renin inhibition.

Abstract
Mice with a malignant hyperthermia mutation (Y522S) in the ryanodine receptor (RyR1) display muscle contractures, rhabdomyolysis, and death in response to elevated environmental temperatures. We demonstrate that this mutation in RyR1 causes Ca(2+) leak, which drives increased generation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Subsequent S-nitrosylation of the mutant RyR1 increases its temperature sensitivity for activation, producing muscle contractures upon exposure to elevated temperatures. The Y522S mutation in humans is associated with central core disease. Many mitochondria in the muscle of heterozygous Y522S mice are swollen and misshapen. The mutant muscle displays decreased force production and increased mitochondrial lipid peroxidation with aging. Chronic treatment with N-acetylcysteine protects against mitochondrial oxidative damage and the decline in force generation. We propose a feed-forward cyclic mechanism that increases the temperature sensitivity of RyR1 activation and underlies heat stroke and sudden death. The cycle eventually produces a myopathy with damaged mitochondria.

Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder of skeletal muscle triggered in susceptible individuals by inhalation anesthetics and depolarizing skeletal muscle relaxants. This syndrome has been linked to a missense mutation in the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) in more than 50% of cases studied to date. Using double-barreled Ca2+microelectrodes in myotubes expressing wild-type RyR1 (WTRyR1) or RyR1 with one of four common MH mutations (MHRyR1), we measured resting intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i). Changes in resting [Ca2+]iproduced by several drugs known to modulate the RyR1 channel complex were investigated. We found that myotubes expressing any of theMHRyR1s had a 2.0- to 3.7-fold higher resting [Ca2+]ithan those expressingWTRyR1. Exposure of myotubes expressingMHRyR1s to ryanodine (500 μM) or (2,6-dichloro-4-aminophenyl)isopropylamine (FLA 365; 20 μM) had no effects on their resting [Ca2+]i. However, when myotubes were exposed to bastadin 5 alone or to a combination of ryanodine and bastadin 5, the resting [Ca2+]iwas significantly reduced ( P < 0.01). Interestingly, the percent decrease in resting [Ca2+]iin myotubes expressingMHRyR1s was significantly greater than that forWTRyR1. From these data, we propose that the high resting myoplasmic [Ca2+]iinMHRyR1 expressing myotubes is due in part to a related structural conformation ofMHRyR1s that favors “passive” calcium leak from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
We have previously shown that in afferent arterioles, angiotensin II (ANG II) involves activation of the inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R), activation of adenine diphosphoribose (ADPR) cyclase, and amplification of the initial IP(3)R-stimulated release of cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) (Fellner SK, Arendshorst WJ. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 288: F785-F791, 2004). The response of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) to local increases in [Ca(2+)](i) is defined as calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). To investigate whether Ca(2+) entry via voltage-gated channels (VGCC) can stimulate CICR, we treated fura 2-loaded, freshly isolated afferent arterioles with KCl (40 mM; high KCl). In control arterioles, peak [Ca(2+)](i) increased by 165 +/- 10 nM. Locking the RyR in the closed position with ryanodine (100 microM) inhibited the [Ca(2+)](i) response by 59% (P < 0.01). 8-Br cADPR, a specific blocker of the ability of cyclic ADPR (cADPR) to sensitize the RyR to Ca(2+), caused a 43% inhibition. We suggest that the lower inhibition by 8-Br cADPR (P = 0.02, ryanodine vs. 8-Br cADPR) represents endogenously active ADPR cyclase. Depletion of SR Ca(2+) stores by inhibiting the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase with cyclopiazonic acid or thapsigargin blocked the [Ca(2+)](i) responses to KCl by 51% (P not significant vs. ryanodine or 8-Br cADPR). These data suggest that about half of the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) induced by high KCl is accomplished by activation of CICR through the ability of entered Ca(2+) to expose the RyR to high local concentrations of Ca(2+) and that endogenous cADPR contributes to the process.

Abstract
Most antitumour agents with cytotoxic properties induce apoptosis. The lipophilic compound euplotin C, isolated from the ciliate Euplotes crassus, is toxic to a number of different opportunistic or pathogenic microorganisms, although its mechanism of action is currently unknown. We report here that euplotin C is a powerful cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic agent in mouse AtT-20 and rat PC12 tumour-derived cell lines. In addition, we provide evidence that euplotin C treatment results in rapid activation of ryanodine receptors, depletion of Ca2+ stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, activation of caspase-12, and activation of caspase-3, leading to apoptosis. Intracellular Ca2+ overload is an early event which induces apoptosis and is parallelled by ER stress and the release of cytochrome c, whereas caspase-12 may be activated by euplotin C at a later stage in the apoptosis pathway. These events, either independently or concomitantly, lead to the activation of the caspase-3 and its downstream effectors, triggering the cell to undergo apoptosis. These results demonstrate that euplotin C may be considered for the design of cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic new drugs.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the primary storage and release site of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in many excitable cells. The SR is a tubular network, which in smooth muscle (SM) cells distributes close to cellular periphery (superficial SR) and in deeper aspects of the cell (deep SR). Recent attention has focused on the regulation of cell function by the superficial SR, which can act as a buffer and also as a regulator of membrane channels and transporters. Ca2+ is released from the SR via two types of ionic channels [ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated], whereas accumulation from thecytoplasm occurs exclusively by an energy-dependent sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump (SERCA). Within the SR, Ca2+ is bound to various storage proteins. Emerging evidence also suggests that the perinuclear portion of the SR may play an important role in nuclear transcription. In this review, we detail the pharmacology of agents that alter the functions of Ca2+ release channels and of SERCA. We describe their use and selectivity and indicate the concentrations used in investigating various SM preparations. Important aspects of cell regulation and excitation-contractile activity coupling in SM have been uncovered through the use of such activators and inhibitors of processes that determine SR function. Likewise, they were instrumental in the recent finding of an interaction of the SR with other cellular organelles such as mitochondria. Thus, an appreciation of the pharmacology and selectivity of agents that interfere with SR function in SM has greatly assisted in unveiling the multifaceted nature of the SR.

Abstract
RyR1 is an intracellular calcium channel with a central role in muscle contraction. We obtained a three-dimensional reconstruction of the RyR1 in the closed state at a nominal resolution of approximately 10 A using cryo-EM. The cytoplasmic assembly consists of a series of interconnected tubular structures that merge into four columns that extend into the transmembrane assembly. The transmembrane assembly, which has at least six transmembrane alpha-helices per monomer, has four tilted rods that can be fitted with the inner helices of a closed K(+) channel atomic structure. The rods splay out at the lumenal side and converge into a dense ring at the cytoplasmic side. Another set of four rods emerges from this ring and shapes the inner part of the four columns. The resulting constricted axial structure provides direct continuity between cytoplasmic and transmembrane assemblies, and a possible mechanism for control of channel gating through conformational changes in the cytoplasmic assembly.

Abstract
In mammals, endothelin receptors are sub-classified into ET(A) receptors (ET(A)R), which are purely constrictive in vascular smooth muscle (VSM), and ET(B)R, which may produce constriction in VSM or dilatation by stimulating the production of nitric oxide (NO) from endothelial cells. In contrast, previous studies suggested that shark VSM is stimulated exclusively by ET(B)R. The Ca(2+) signaling pathways utilized by shark VSM in response to stimulation by endothelin-1 (ET-1) have not previously been investigated. We measured cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in fura-2-loaded VSM of anterior mesenteric artery of Squalus acanthias and show that the ET(B)R agonists IRL 1620 and sarafotoxin S6c (SRX) increase [Ca(2+)](i) in VSM to the same extent as ET-1 and ET(B)R appears to be the only ETR subtype in sharks. To investigate the participation of the inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors (IP(3)R), we utilized two inhibitors of the mammalian IP(3)R, TMB-8 and 2-APB. In Ca(2+)-free Ringer, these agents inhibit the response to ET(B)R agonist stimulation by 71%. The ryanodine-sensitive receptor (RyR) may be activated by low concentrations of ryanodine, by abrupt local increases of [Ca(2+)](i), (calcium-induced calcium release) or by cyclic adeninediphosphate ribose (cADPR). We employed three inhibitors of activation of the RyR, Ruthenium Red, 8-Br cADPR and high concentrations of ryanodine; these agents blocked the [Ca(2+)](i) response to ET(B)R agonist stimulation by a mean of 39%. These data show for the first time that in VSM of the shark, ET(B)R activation stimulates both IP(3)R and RyR, and that cADPR is involved in RyR activation.

Abstract
ANG II induces a rise in cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells via inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) activation and release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The Ca(2+) signal is augmented by calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) and by cyclic adeninediphosphate ribose (cADPR), which sensitizes the ryanodine-sensitive receptor (RyR) to Ca(2+) to further amplify CICR. cADPR is synthesized from beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) by a membrane-bound bifunctional enzyme, ADPR cyclase. To investigate the possibility that ANG II activates the ADPR cyclase of afferent arterioles, we used inhibitors of the IP(3)R, RyR, and ADPR cyclase. Afferent arterioles were isolated from rat kidney with the magnetized microsphere and sieving technique and loaded with fura-2 to measure [Ca(2+)](i). In Ca(2+)-containing buffer, ANG II increased [Ca(2+)](i) by 125 +/- 10 nM. In the presence of the IP(3)R antagonists TMB-8 and 2-APB, the peak responses to ANG II were reduced by 74 and 81%, respectively. The specific antagonist of cADPR 8-Br ADPR and a high concentration of ryanodine (100 microM) inhibited the ANG II-induced increases in [Ca(2+)](i) by 75 and 69%, respectively. Nicotinamide and Zn(2+) are known inhibitors of the VSM ADPR cyclase. Nicotinamide diminished the [Ca(2+)](i) response to ANG II by 66%. In calcium-free buffer, Zn(2+) reduced the ANG II response by 68%. Simultaneous blockade of the IP(3) and cADPR pathways diminished the [Ca(2+)](i) response to ANG II by 83%. We conclude that ANG II initiates Ca(2+) mobilization from the SR in afferent arterioles via the classic IP(3)R pathway and that ANG II may lead to activation of the ADPR cyclase to form cADPR, which, via its action on the RyR, substantially augments the Ca(2+) response.

Abstract
Quercetin, a bioflavonoid, is known to affect Ca(2+) fluxes in sarcoplasmic reticulum, although its direct effect on Ca(2+) release channel (CRC) in sarcoplasmic reticulum has remained to be elucidated. The present study examined the effect of quercetin on the behavior of single skeletal CRC in planar lipid bilayer. The effect of caffeine was also studied for comparison. At very low [Ca(2+)](cis) (80 pM), quercetin activated CRC marginally, whereas at elevated [Ca(2+)](cis) (10 microM), both open probability (P(o)) and sensitivity to the drug increased markedly. Caffeine showed a similar tendency. Analysis of lifetimes for single CRC showed that quercetin and caffeine led to different mean open-time and closed-time constants and their proportions. Addition of 10 microM ryanodine to CRC activated by quercetin or caffeine led to the typical subconductance state (approximately 54%) and a subsequent addition of 5 microM ruthenium red completely blocked CRC activity. When 6 microM quercetin and 3 mM caffeine were added together to the cis side of CRC, a time-dependent increase of P(o) was observed (from mode 1 (0.376 +/- 0.043, n = 5) to mode 2 (0.854 +/- 0.062, n = 5)). On the other hand, no further activation was observed when quercetin was added after caffeine. Quercetin affected only the ascending phase of the bell-shaped Ca(2+) activation/inactivation curve, whereas caffeine affected both ascending and descending phases. [(3)H]ryanodine binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum showed that channel activity increased more by both quercetin and caffeine than by caffeine alone. These characteristic differences in the modes of activation of CRC by quercetin and caffeine suggest that the channel activation mechanisms and presumably the binding sites on CRC are different for the two drugs.

Abstract
The tryptophan metabolite kynurenic acid (KYNA) has long been recognized as an NMDA receptor antagonist. Here, interactions between KYNA and the nicotinic system in the brain were investigated using the patch-clamp technique and HPLC. In the electrophysiological studies, agonists were delivered via a U-shaped tube, and KYNA was applied in admixture with agonists and via the background perfusion. Exposure (>/=4 min) of cultured hippocampal neurons to KYNA (>/=100 nm) inhibited activation of somatodendritic alpha7 nAChRs; the IC(50) for KYNA was approximately 7 microm. The inhibition of alpha7 nAChRs was noncompetitive with respect to the agonist and voltage independent. The slow onset of this effect could not be accounted for by an intracellular action because KYNA (1 mm) in the pipette solution had no effect on alpha7 nAChR activity. KYNA also blocked the activity of preterminal/presynaptic alpha7 nAChRs in hippocampal neurons in cultures and in slices. NMDA receptors were less sensitive than alpha7 nAChRs to KYNA. The IC(50) values for KYNA-induced blockade of NMDA receptors in the absence and presence of glycine (10 microm) were approximately 15 and 235 microm, respectively. Prolonged (3 d) exposure of cultured hippocampal neurons to KYNA increased their nicotinic sensitivity, apparently by enhancing alpha4beta2 nAChR expression. Furthermore, as determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection, repeated systemic treatment of rats with nicotine caused a transient reduction followed by an increase in brain KYNA levels. These results demonstrate that nAChRs are targets for KYNA and suggest a functionally significant cross talk between the nicotinic cholinergic system and the kynurenine pathway in the brain.

Abstract
To clarify a function of brain-type ryanodine receptor (RyR3) and its regulation, we established a stable cell line expressing rabbit RyR3 by transfection of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO cells) with the cDNA and investigated characteristics of the RyR3. Scatchard analysis of [3H]-ryanodine binding to the membrane from CHO cells expressing RyR3 showed two distinct binding sites. The Kd values of high and low affinity binding sites were 1.92 and 25.9 nM, respectively. [3H]-ryanodine binding to the membrane from CHO cells expressing RyR3 was dependent on pCa. Extracellular Ca2+ (2-10 mM) and high concentration (more than 30 mM) of caffeine activated the RyR3 in CHO cells and increased its intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The enhancement of [3H]-ryanodine binding to the membrane from CHO cells expressing RyR3 was observed by bromoeudistomin D (BED), a caffeine-like powerful Ca2+ releaser, at pCa 5.5. Stably expressed RyR3 in CHO is useful for characterization of its function.

Abstract
The fundamental biological process of Ca2+ signaling is known to be important in most eukaryotic cells, and inositol 1,2,5-trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors, intracellular Ca2+ release channels encoded by two distantly related gene families, are central to this phenomenon. Ryanodine receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal and cardiac muscle have a predominant role in excitation-contraction coupling, but the channels are also present in the endoplasmic reticulum of noncontractile tissues including the central nervous system and the immune system. In all, three highly homologous ryanodine receptor isoforms have been identified, all very large proteins which assemble as (homo)tetramers of approximately 2 MDa. They contain large cytoplasmically disposed regulatory domains and are always associated with other structural or regulatory proteins, including calmodulin and immunophilins, which can have marked effects on channel function. The type 1 isoform in skeletal muscle is electromechanically coupled to surface membrane voltage sensors, whereas the remaining isoforms appear to be activated solely by endogenous cytoplasmic second messengers or other ligands, including Ca2+ itself ("Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release"). This review concentrates on ryanodine receptor structure-function relationships as probed by a variety of methods and on the molecular mechanisms of channel modulation at the cellular level (including evidence for the regulation of gene expression and transcription). It also touches on the relevance of ryanodine receptors to complex cellular functions and disease.

Abstract
We have devised a novel procedure, employing Chaps rather than Triton [Costello B., Chadwick C., Saito A., Chu A., Maurer A., Fleischer S. J Cell Biol 1986; 103: 741-753], for obtaining vesiculated derivatives of the junctional face membrane (JFM) domain of isolated terminal cisternae (TC) from fast skeletal muscle of the rabbit. Enriched JFM is minimally contaminated with junctional transverse tubules. The characteristic ultrastructural features and the most essential features of TC function relating to this membrane domain-i.e. both the Ca(2+)-release system and the Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase (CaM I PK) system-appear to be retained in enriched JFM. We show that our isolation procedure, yielding up to a 2.5-fold enrichment in ryanodine receptor (RyR) protein and in the maximum number of high affinity [3H]-ryanodine binding sites, does not alter the assembly for integral proteins associated with the receptor in its native membrane environment, i.e. FKBP-12, triadin and the structurally related protein junction [Jones L.R., Zhang L., Sanborn K., Jorgensen A., Kelley J. J Biol Chem 1995; 270: 30787-30796] having, in common, the property to bind calsequestrin (CS) in overlays in the presence of EGTA. The substrate specificity of endogenous CaM I PK is also the same as that of parent TC vesicles. Phosphorylation of mainly triadin and of a high M(r) polypeptide, and not of the RyR, is the most remarkable common property. Retention of peripheral proteins, like CS and histidine-rich Ca(2+)-binding protein, although not that endogenous CaM, and of a unique set of CaM-binding proteins, unlike that of junctional SR-specific integral proteins, is shown to be influenced by the concentration of Ca2+ during incubation of TC vesicles with Chaps. Characterization of RyR functional behaviour with [3H]-ryanodine has indicated extensive similarities between the enriched JFM and parent TC vessicles, as far as the characteristic bell shaped Ca(2+)-dependence of [3H]-ryanodine binding and the dose-dependent sensitization to Ca2+ by caffeine, reflecting the inherent properties of SR Ca(2+)-release channel, as well as concerning the stimulation of [3H]-ryanodine binding by increasing concentrations of KCl. Stabilizing the RyR in a maximally active state by optimizing concentrations of KCl (1 M), at also optimal concentrations of Ca2+ (pCa 4), rendered the receptor less sensitive to inhibition by 1 microM CaM, to a greater extent in the case of enriched JFM. That was not accounted for by any significant difference in the IC50 concentrations of CaM varying between 40 nM to approximately 80 nM, at low-intermediate and at high KCl concentrations, respectively. Additional results with enriched JFM using doxorubicin, a pharmacological Ca2+ channel allosteric modifier, strengthen the hypothesis that the conformational state at which RyR is stabilized, according to the experimental assay conditions for [3H]-ryanodine binding, directly influences CaM-sensitivity.

Abstract
Immunoblot analysis and [3H]ryanodine binding were used to characterize and identify ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in nonexcitable mouse parotid acini. Western analysis revealed ryanodine receptor type III (Ry3R) to be the only detectable isoform in parotid microsomal membranes. Binding of [3H]ryanodine to microsomal fractions was dependent on Ca2+, salt, pH, and temperature. At 23 degrees C, and in the presence of 0.5 M KCl and 100 microM Ca2+, [3H]ryanodine bound specifically to membranes with high affinity (Kd = 6 nM); maximum binding capacity (Bmax) was 275 fmol/mg protein. Mg2+ and ruthenium red inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding (IC50 = 1.4 mM and 0.5 microM, respectively). 4-Chloro-3-ethylphenol enhanced the binding of [3H]ryanodine 2.5-fold; whereas ATP and caffeine were much less efficacious toward activating Ry3R (56% and 18% maximal enhancement, respectively). Bastadin, a novel modulator of the 12-kDa FK506 binding protein.RyR complex, increased [3H]ryanodine binding 3-4-fold by enhancing Kd. The immunosuppressant FK506 enhanced [3H]ryanodine receptor occupancy at >100 microM and antagonized the action of bastadin, suggesting that an immunophilin modulates Ry3R in parotid acini. These results suggest that Ry3R may play an important role in Ca2+ homeostasis in mouse parotid acini.

Abstract
Optimal [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes is dependent on a number of factors such as Ca2+ concentration, ionic strength, and the presence of modulators of the Ca2+ release channel. The rate of association of [3H]-ryanodine with its binding site is slower than a diffusion limited process, and often the binding reaches a peak value which is followed by a slow decline. This phenomenon makes it extremely difficult to determine kinetic constants for [3H]ryanodine binding. The inclusion of bovine serum albumin (BSA) or the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (Chaps) in the incubation buffer prevents the decrease in [3H]ryanodine binding observed in association studies. BSA or Chaps slows this decline in binding partially by preventing a conversion to a more rapidly dissociating component. Pretreatment of the membranes with Chaps does not prevent the decrease in [3H]ryanodine binding, suggesting that Chaps is not exerting its effect by extracting a lipid or peripheral membrane protein. The decrease in affinity observed in the absence of BSA and Chaps appears to require the occupation of the high-affinity ryanodine binding site. Incubation for extended times in the absence of [3H]ryanodine prior to the initiation of the association produced similar curves to those obtained without preincubation. These combined results suggest that Chaps and BSA stabilize the ryanodine-modified Ca2+ release channel by preventing an alteration in the ryanodine binding site which leads to decreased affinity, thus allowing for a more quantitative interpretation of binding data.

Abstract
The effect of D-erythro-C18-sphingosine (sphingosine) and related compounds on the Ca(2+)-release channel (ryanodine binding protein) was examined on rabbit skeletal muscle membranes, on the purified ryanodine binding protein, and on the channel reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. Sphingosine inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes in a dose-dependent manner similar to published results (R. A. Sabbadini, R. Betto, A. Teresi, G. Fachechi-Cassano, and G. Salviati. J. Biol. Chem. 267: 15475-15484, 1992). The sphingolipid also inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding to the purified ryanodine binding protein. Our results demonstrate that the inhibition of [3H]ryanodine binding by sphingosine is due to an increased rate of dissociation of bound [3H]ryanodine from SR membranes and a decreased rate of association of [3H]ryanodine to the high-affinity site. Unlike other modulators of the Ca(2+)-release channel, sphingosine can remove bound [3H]ryanodine from the high-affinity site within minutes. Sphingosine increased the rate of dissociation of [3H]ryanodine bound to a solubilized proteolytic fragment derived from the carboxy terminus of the ryanodine binding protein (cleavage at Arg4475). Sphingosine also inhibited the activity of the Ca(2+)-release channel incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. Taken together, the data provide evidence for a direct effect of sphingosine on the Ca(2+)-release channel. Sphingosine is a noncompetitive inhibitor at the high-affinity ryanodine binding site, and it interacts with a site between Arg4475 and the carboxy terminus of the Ca(2+)-release channel.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle is thought to involve a physical interaction between the alpha 1-subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-release channel (also known as the ryanodine receptor). Considerable evidence has accumulated to suggest that the cytoplasmic loop between domains II and III of the DHPR alpha 1-subunit is at least partially responsible for this interaction. Other parts of this subunit or other subunits may, however, contribute to the functional and/or structural coupling between these two proteins. A synthetic peptide corresponding to a conserved sequence located between amino acids 1487 and 1506 in the carboxy terminus of the alpha 1-subunit inhibits both [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal and cardiac SR membranes and the activity of skeletal SR Ca(2+)-release channels reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. A second, multiantigenic peptide synthesized to correspond to the same sequence inhibits both binding and channel activity at lower concentrations than the linear peptide. These peptides slow the rate at which [3H]ryanodine binds to its high-affinity binding site and decrease the rate at which [3H]ryanodine dissociates from this site. A third polypeptide synthesized in Escherichia coli and corresponding to amino acids 1381-1627 and encompassing the above sequence has similar effects. This portion of the alpha 1-subunit of the transverse tubule DHPR is therefore a candidate for contributing to the interaction of this protein with the Ca(2+)-release channel.

Abstract
Bastadins potently interact with the FK-506-binding protein of 12 kDa (FKBP12)-ryanodine receptor (Ry1R) complex in skeletal muscle to enhance a high-affinity ryanodine binding conformation (M. M. Mack, T. F. Molinski, E. D. Buck, and I. N. Pessah. J. Biol. Chem. 269: 23236-23249, 1994). Bastadins are used to examine the relationship between ryanodine-sensitive and ryanodine-insensitive Ca2+ efflux pathways that coexist in junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle and differentiated BC3H1 cells. Complete block of caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ channels with micromolar ryanodine or ruthenium red does not alter the steady-state loading capacity of SR. Inhibition of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pumps with thapsigargin unmasks a ryanodine- and ruthenium red-insensitive Ca2+ efflux pathway. Bastadin 5 alone does not inhibit Ca2+ efflux unmasked by inhibition of SERCA pumps, but, in combination with blocking concentrations of ryanodine or ruthenium red, it eliminates the ryanodine-insensitive Ca2+ "leak" and enhances steady-state loading capacity of SR vesicles approximately 2.5-fold. These actions of bastadins occur in the same concentration range that enhances the number of high-affinity binding sites for [3H]ryanodine (50% effective concentration of approximately 2 microM). Similar effects on SR Ca2+ transport are found with FK-506 and ryanodine in combination. Block of Ry1R in intact BC3H1 cells with ryanodine does not eliminate the prominent Ca2+ leak unmasked by thapsigargin. A membrane-permeant mixture of bastadins in combination with ryanodine nearly eliminates the Ca2+ leak unmasked by thapsigargin, even though the Ca2+ stores are replete. The requirement of both a known Ry1R blocker and bastadins in combination provides a pharmacological link between ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channels and ryanodine-insensitive leak pathways in isolated junctional SR and BC3H1 cells. Together, these results strongly suggest that bastadins, through their modulatory actions on the FKBP12-Ry1R complex, convert ryanodine-insensitive leak states into ryanodine-sensitive channels that recognize [3H]ryanodine with high affinity.

Abstract
We purified and characterized ryanotoxin, an approximately 11.4-kDa peptide from the venom of the scorpion Buthotus judiacus that induces changes in ryanodine receptors of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum analogous to those induced by the alkaloid ryanodine. Ryanotoxin stimulated Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and induced a state of reduce unit conductance with a mean duration longer than that of unmodified ryanodine receptor channels. With Cs+ as the current carrier, the slope conductance of the state induced by 1 microM ryanotoxin was 163 +/- 12 pS, that of the state induced by 1 microM ryanodine was 173 +/- 26 pS, and that of control channels was 2.3-fold larger (396 +/- 25 pS). The distribution of substate events induced by 1 microM RyTx was biexponential and was fitted with time constants approximately 10 times shorter than those fitted to the distribution of substates induced by 1 microM ryanodine. Bath-applied 5 microM ryanotoxin had no effect on the excitability of mouse myotubes in culture. When 5 microM ryanotoxin was dialyzed into the cell through the patch pipette in the whole-cell configuration, there was a voltage-dependent increase in the amplitude of intracellular Ca2+ transients elicited by depolarizing potentials in the range of -30 to +50 mV. Ryanotoxin increased the binding affinity of [3H]ryanodine in a reversible manner with a 50% effective dose (ED50) of 0.16 microM without altering the maximum number (Bmax) of [3H]ryanodine-binding sites. This result suggested that binding sites for ryanotoxin and ryanodine were different. Ryanotoxin should prove useful in identifying domains coupling the ryanodine receptor to the voltage sensor, or domains affecting the gating and conductance of the ryanodine receptor channel.

Abstract
In this study, we have identified and partially characterized a mouse T-lymphoma ryanodine receptor on a unique type of internal vesicle which bands at the relatively light density of 1.07 g/ml. Analysis of the binding of [3H]ryanodine to these internal vesicles reveals the presence of a single, low affinity binding site with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 200 nM. The second messenger, cyclic ADP-ribose, was found to increase the binding affinity of [3H]ryanodine to its vesicle receptor at least 5-fold (Kd approximately 40 nM). In addition, cADP-ribose appears to be a potent activator of internal Ca2+ release in T-lymphoma cells and is capable of overriding ryanodine-mediated inhibition of internal Ca2+ release. Immunoblot analyses using a monoclonal mouse antiryanodine receptor antibody indicate that mouse T-lymphoma cells contain a 500-kDa polypeptide similar to the ryanodine receptor found in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and brain tissues. Double immunofluorescence staining and laser confocal microscopic analysis show that the ryanodine receptor is preferentially accumulated underneath surface receptor-capped structures. T-lymphoma ryanodine receptor was isolated (with an apparent sedimentation coefficient of 30 S) by extraction of the light density vesicles with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS) in 1 M NaCl followed by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Further analysis indicates that specific, high affinity binding occurs between ankyrin and this 30 S lymphoma ryanodine receptor (Kd = 0.075 nM). Most importantly, the binding of ankyrin to the light density vesicles significantly blocks ryanodine binding and ryanodine-mediated inhibition of internal Ca2+ release. These findings suggest that the cytoskeleton plays a pivotal role in the regulation of ryanodine receptor-mediated internal Ca2+ release during lymphocyte activation.

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
Ryanodine binds to specific membrane proteins, altering the calcium permeability of intracellular membranes. In this study 19 ryanoids were isolated or synthesized and the structures correlated to the strength of binding to vertebrate skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors. Global minima were determined by employment of molecular mechanics and dynamics augmented by systematic searching of conformational space. Overall, steric and electrostatic factors contribute about equally to the differences in the experimentally determined dissociation constants. The dominant electrostatic interaction is localized to a hydroxyl group in an apolar region of the molecule. The pyrrole and isopropyl groups located together at one pole of the molecule have the greatest effect on steric interactions between ligand and receptor. We suggest ryanodine binds to the receptor with the pyrrole and isopropyl groups buried deep inside a cleft in the protein. This arrangement places special importance on the conformation of the pyrrole and isopropyl groups. In contrast, the opposite pole appears to be positioned at the entrance of the binding pocket because bulky adducts placed in the 9 position of ryanodine alter binding minimally. For example, a fluorescent ryanodine adduct was synthesized which has a dissociation constant close to that of ryanodine. Detailed examination reveals subtle interactions between ryanoid and receptor. In many cases, the major factors altering the strength of binding were found to be conformational alterations in the molecule remote from the site of covalent modification.

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.

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 detailed characterization of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells, a neoplastic mast cell line, has been possible through the growth of solid RBL cell tumors which provide a rich source of IP3 receptor. Equilibrium binding studies show a 1.6 +/- 0.1 pmol/mg of protein maximal binding capacity for [3H]IP3 at optimal Ca2+ (10 microM). The specificity of the RBL cell IP3 receptor towards phosphoinositides, ATP and heparin parallels those previously described with excitable and nonexcitable tissues. [3H]IP3 binding is slightly enhanced from < 1 nM to 10 microM Ca2+ and inhibited by > 10 microM Ca2+. Kinetic and equilibrium studies provide evidence for at least two classes or conformational states of binding sites with pico- and nanomolar affinities. At nM concentrations of IP3, neither binding to the IP3 receptor nor IP3-induced Ca2+ efflux from permeabilized cells demonstrates cooperativity. In contrast, at pM concentrations, IP3 binding kinetics deviate from simple mass action suggesting a complex interaction among binding sites for IP3 on the receptor-channel oligomer. The mechanisms that regulate [3H]IP3 binding in RBL cells are unique when compared to what has been reported in other cells.
