Abstract
Centronuclear and myotubular myopathies (CNM) are rare and severe genetic diseases associated with muscle weakness and atrophy as well as intracellular disorganization of myofibres. The main mutated proteins control lipid and membrane dynamics and are the lipid phosphatase myotubularin (MTM1), and the membrane remodelling proteins amphiphysin 2 (BIN1) and dynamin 2 (DNM2). There is no available therapy. Here, to validate a novel therapeutic strategy for BIN1- and DNM2-CNM, we evaluated adeno-associated virus-mediated MTM1 (AAV-MTM1 ) overexpression in relevant mouse models. Early systemic MTM1 overexpression prevented the development of the CNM pathology in Bin1mck-/- mice, while late intramuscular MTM1 expression partially reverted the established phenotypes after only 4 weeks of treatment. However, AAV-MTM1 injection did not change the DNM2-CNM mouse phenotypes. We investigated the mechanism of the rescue of the myopathy in BIN1-CNM and found that the lipid phosphatase activity of MTM1 was essential for the rescue of muscle atrophy and myofibre hypotrophy but dispensable for the rescue of myofibre disorganization including organelle mis-position and T-tubule defects. Furthermore, the improvement of T-tubule organization correlated with normalization of key regulators of T-tubule morphogenesis, dysferlin and caveolin. Overall, these data support the inclusion of BIN1-CNM patients in an AAV-MTM1 clinical trial.

Abstract
Tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) is an inherited skeletal muscle disease associated with progressive muscle weakness, cramps, and myalgia. Tubular aggregates (TAs) are regular arrays of highly ordered and densely packed SR straight-tubes in muscle biopsies; the extensive presence of TAs represent a key histopathological hallmark of this disease in TAM patients. TAM is caused by gain-of-function mutations in proteins that coordinate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE): STIM1 Ca2+ sensor proteins in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Ca2+-permeable ORAI1 channels in the surface membrane. We have previously shown that voluntary wheel running (VWR) prevents formation of TAs in aging mice. Here, we assessed the therapeutic potential of endurance exercise (in the form of VWR) in mitigating the functional and structural alterations in a knock-in mouse model of TAM (Orai1G100S/+ or GS mice) based on a gain-of-function mutation in the ORAI1 pore. WT and GS mice were singly-housed for six months (from two to eight months of age) with either free-spinning or locked low profile wheels. Six months of VWR exercise significantly increased soleus peak tetanic specific force production, normalized FDB fiber Ca2+ store content, and markedly reduced TAs in EDL muscle from GS mice. Six months of VWR exercise normalized the expression of mitochondrial proteins found to be altered in soleus muscle of sedentary GS mice in conjunction with a signature of increased protein translation and biosynthetic processes. Parallel proteomic analyses of EDL muscles from sedentary WT and GS mice revealed changes in a tight network of pathways involved in formation of supramolecular complexes, which were also normalized following six months of VWR. In summary, sustained voluntary endurance exercise improved slow twitch muscle function, reduced the presence of TAs in fast twitch muscle, and normalized the muscle proteome of GS mice consistent with protective adaptions in proteostasis, mitochondrial structure/function, and formation of supramolecular complexes.

Abstract
Exercise produces oxidants from a variety of intracellular sources, including NADPH oxidases (NOX) and mitochondria. Exercise-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) are beneficial, and the amount and location of these ROS is important to avoid muscle damage associated with oxidative stress. We discuss here some of the evidence that involves ROS production associated with skeletal muscle contraction and the potential oxidative stress associated with muscle contraction. We also discuss the potential role of H2O2 produced after NOX activation in the regulation of glucose transport in skeletal muscle. Finally, we propose a model based on evidence for the role of different populations of mitochondria in skeletal muscle in the regulation of ATP production upon exercise. The subsarcolemmal population of mitochondria has the enzymatic and metabolic components to establish a high mitochondrial membrane potential when fissioned at rest but lacks the capacity to produce ATP. Calcium entry into the mitochondria will further increase the metabolic input. Upon exercise, subsarcolemmal mitochondria will fuse to intermyofibrillar mitochondria and will transfer the mitochondria membrane potential to them. These mitochondria are rich in ATP synthase and will subsequentially produce the ATP needed for muscle contraction in long-term exercise. These events will optimize energy use and minimize mitochondria ROS production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital myopathies are a group of clinically, genetically, and histologically heterogeneous diseases caused by mutations in a large group of genes. One of these is CACNA1S, which is recognized as the cause of Dihydropyridine Receptor Congenital Myopathy. METHODS To better characterize the phenotypic spectrum of CACNA1S myopathy, we conducted a systematic review of cases in the literature through three electronic databases following the PRISMA guidelines. We selected nine articles describing 23 patients with heterozygous, homozygous, or compound heterozygous mutations in CACNA1S and we added one patient with a compound heterozygous mutation in CACNA1S (c.1394-2A>G; c.1724T>C, p.L575P) followed at our Institute. We collected clinical and genetic data, muscle biopsies, and muscle MRIs when available. RESULTS The phenotype of this myopathy is heterogeneous, ranging from more severe forms with a lethal early onset and mild-moderate forms with a better clinical course. CONCLUSIONS Our patient presented a phenotype compatible with the mild-moderate form, although she presented peculiar features such as a short stature, myopia, mild sensorineural hearing loss, psychiatric symptoms, and posterior-anterior impairment gradient on thigh muscle MRI.

Probenecid affects muscle Ca2+ homeostasis and contraction independently from pannexin channel block. J Gen Physiol 2023; 155:e202213203.

Abstract
Tight control of skeletal muscle contractile activation is secured by the excitation-contraction (EC) coupling protein complex, a molecular machinery allowing the plasma membrane voltage to control the activity of the ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. This machinery has been shown to be intimately linked to the plasma membrane protein pannexin-1 (Panx1). We investigated whether the prescription drug probenecid, a widely used Panx1 blocker, affects Ca2+ signaling, EC coupling, and muscle force. The effect of probenecid was tested on membrane current, resting Ca2+, and SR Ca2+ release in isolated mouse muscle fibers, using a combination of whole-cell voltage-clamp and Ca2+ imaging, and on electrically triggered contraction of isolated muscles. Probenecid (1 mM) induces SR Ca2+ leak at rest and reduces peak voltage-activated SR Ca2+ release and contractile force by 40%. Carbenoxolone, another Panx1 blocker, also reduces Ca2+ release, but neither a Panx1 channel inhibitory peptide nor a purinergic antagonist affected Ca2+ release, suggesting that probenecid and carbenoxolone do not act through inhibition of Panx1-mediated ATP release and consequently altered purinergic signaling. Probenecid may act by altering Panx1 interaction with the EC coupling machinery, yet the implication of another molecular target cannot be excluded. Since probenecid has been used both in the clinic and as a masking agent for doping in sports, these results should encourage evaluation of possible effects on muscle function in treated individuals. In addition, they also raise the question of whether probenecid-induced altered Ca2+ homeostasis may be shared by other tissues.

Abstract
Contractions of skeletal muscles provide the stability and power for all body movements. Consequently, any impairment in skeletal muscle function results in some degree of instability or immobility. Factors that influence skeletal muscle structure and function are therefore of great interest scientifically and clinically. Injury, neuromuscular disease, and old age are among the factors that commonly contribute to impairments in skeletal muscle function. The goal of this chapter is to summarize the fundamentals of skeletal muscle structure and function to provide foundational knowledge for this Handbook volume. We examine the molecular interactions that provide the basis for the generation of force and movement, discuss mechanisms of the regulation of contraction at the level of myofibers, and introduce concepts of the activation and control of muscle function in vivo. Where appropriate, the chapter updates the emerging science that will increase understanding of muscle function.

Abstract
In healthy muscle, the rapid release of calcium ions (Ca2+) with excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling, results in elevations in Ca2+ concentrations which can exceed 10-fold that of resting values. The sizable transient changes in Ca2+ concentrations are necessary for the activation of signaling pathways, which rely on Ca2+ as a second messenger, including those involved with force generation, fiber type distribution and hypertrophy. However, prolonged elevations in intracellular Ca2+ can result in the unwanted activation of Ca2+ signaling pathways that cause muscle damage, dysfunction, and disease. Muscle employs several calcium handling and calcium transport proteins that function to rapidly return Ca2+ concentrations back to resting levels following contraction. This review will detail our current understanding of calcium handling during the decay phase of intracellular calcium transients in healthy skeletal and cardiac muscle. We will also discuss how impairments in Ca2+ transport can occur and how mishandling of Ca2+ can lead to the pathogenesis and/or progression of skeletal muscle myopathies and cardiomyopathies.

Abstract
The X-linked inherited neuromuscular disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterised by primary abnormalities in the membrane cytoskeletal component dystrophin. The almost complete absence of the Dp427-M isoform of dystrophin in skeletal muscles renders contractile fibres more susceptible to progressive degeneration and a leaky sarcolemma membrane. This in turn results in abnormal calcium homeostasis, enhanced proteolysis and impaired excitation-contraction coupling. Biochemical and mass spectrometry-based proteomic studies of both patient biopsy specimens and genetic animal models of dystrophinopathy have demonstrated significant changes in the concentration and/or physiological function of essential calcium-regulatory proteins in dystrophin-lacking voluntary muscles. Abnormalities include dystrophinopathy-associated changes in voltage sensing receptors, calcium release channels, calcium pumps and calcium binding proteins. This review article provides an overview of the importance of the sarcolemmal dystrophin-glycoprotein complex and the wider dystrophin complexome in skeletal muscle and its linkage to depolarisation-induced calcium-release mechanisms and the excitation-contraction-relaxation cycle. Besides chronic inflammation, fat substitution and reactive myofibrosis, a major pathobiochemical hallmark of X-linked muscular dystrophy is represented by the chronic influx of calcium ions through the damaged plasmalemma in conjunction with abnormal intracellular calcium fluxes and buffering. Impaired calcium handling proteins should therefore be included in an improved biomarker signature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Abstract
One of the most important functions of skeletal muscle is to respond to nerve stimuli by contracting. This function ensures body movement but also participates in other important physiological roles, like regulation of glucose homeostasis. Muscle activity is closely regulated to adapt to different demands and shows a plasticity that relies on both transcriptional activity and nerve stimuli. These two processes, both dependent on depolarization of the plasma membrane, have so far been regarded as separated and independent processes due to a lack of evidence of common protein partners or molecular mechanisms. In this study, we reveal intimate functional interactions between the process of excitation-induced contraction and the process of excitation-induced transcriptional activity in skeletal muscle. We show that the plasma membrane voltage-sensing protein CaV1.1 and the ATP-releasing channel Pannexin-1 (Panx1) regulate each other in a reciprocal manner, playing roles in both processes. Specifically, knockdown of CaV1.1 produces chronically elevated extracellular ATP concentrations at rest, consistent with disruption of the normal control of Panx1 activity. Conversely, knockdown of Panx1 affects not only activation of transcription but also CaV1.1 function on the control of muscle fiber contraction. Altogether, our results establish the presence of bidirectional functional regulations between the molecular machineries involved in the control of contraction and transcription induced by membrane depolarization of adult muscle fibers. Our results are important for an integrative understanding of skeletal muscle function and may impact our understanding of several neuromuscular diseases.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) releases Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle cells to initiate muscle contraction. Multiple endogenous and exogenous effectors regulate RyR1, such as ATP, Ca2+, caffeine (Caf), and ryanodine. Cryo-EM identified binding sites for the three coactivators Ca2+, ATP, and Caf. However, the mechanism of coregulation and synergy between these activators remains to be determined. Here, we used [3H]ryanodine ligand-binding assays and molecular dynamics simulations to test the hypothesis that both the ATP- and Caf-binding sites communicate with the Ca2+-binding site to sensitize RyR1 to Ca2+. We report that either phosphomethylphosphonic acid adenylate ester (AMPPCP), a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog, or Caf can activate RyR1 in the absence or the presence of Ca2+. However, enhanced RyR1 activation occurred in the presence of Ca2+, AMPPCP, and Caf. In the absence of Ca2+, Na+ inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding without impairing RyR1 activation by AMPPCP and Caf. Computational analysis suggested that Ca2+-, ATP-, and Caf-binding sites modulate RyR1 protein stability through interactions with the carboxyterminal domain and other domains in the activation core. In the presence of ATP and Caf but the absence of Ca2+, Na+ is predicted to inhibit RyR1 by interacting with the Ca2+-binding site. Our data suggested that ATP and Caf binding affected the conformation of the Ca2+-binding site, and conversely, Ca2+ binding affected the conformation of the ATP- and Caf-binding sites. We conclude that Ca2+, ATP, and Caf regulate RyR1 through a network of allosteric interactions involving the Ca2+-, ATP-, and Caf-binding sites.

Abstract
Muscular dystrophies are disorders characterized by progressive muscle loss and weakness that are both genotypically and phenotypically heterogenous. Progression of muscle disease arises from impaired regeneration, plasma membrane instability, defective membrane repair, and calcium mishandling. The ferlin protein family, including dysferlin and myoferlin, are calcium-binding, membrane-associated proteins that regulate membrane fusion, trafficking, and tubule formation. Mice lacking dysferlin (Dysf), myoferlin (Myof), and both dysferlin and myoferlin (Fer) on an isogenic inbred 129 background were previously demonstrated that loss of both dysferlin and myoferlin resulted in more severe muscle disease than loss of either gene alone. Furthermore, Fer mice had disordered triad organization with visibly malformed transverse tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum, suggesting distinct roles of dysferlin and myoferlin. To assess the physiological role of disorganized triads, we now assessed excitation contraction (EC) coupling in these models. We identified differential abnormalities in EC coupling and ryanodine receptor disruption in flexor digitorum brevis myofibers isolated from ferlin mutant mice. We found that loss of dysferlin alone preserved sensitivity for EC coupling and was associated with larger ryanodine receptor clusters compared to wildtype myofibers. Loss of myoferlin alone or together with a loss of dysferlin reduced sensitivity for EC coupling, and produced disorganized and smaller ryanodine receptor cluster size compared to wildtype myofibers. These data reveal impaired EC coupling in Myof and Fer myofibers and slightly potentiated EC coupling in Dysf myofibers. Despite high homology, dysferlin and myoferlin have differential roles in regulating sarcotubular formation and maintenance resulting in unique impairments in calcium handling properties.

Abstract
Proper skeletal muscle function is controlled by intracellular Ca2+ concentration and by efficient production of energy (ATP), which, in turn, depend on: (a) the release and re-uptake of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic-reticulum (SR) during excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, which controls the contraction and relaxation of sarcomeres; (b) the uptake of Ca2+ into the mitochondrial matrix, which stimulates aerobic ATP production; and finally (c) the entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular space via store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), a mechanism that is important to limit/delay muscle fatigue. Abnormalities in Ca2+ handling underlie many physio-pathological conditions, including dysfunction in ageing. The specific focus of this review is to discuss the importance of the proper architecture of organelles and membrane systems involved in the mechanisms introduced above for the correct skeletal muscle function. We reviewed the existing literature about EC coupling, mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, SOCE and about the structural membranes and organelles deputed to those functions and finally, we summarized the data collected in different, but complementary, projects studying changes caused by denervation and ageing to the structure and positioning of those organelles: a. denervation of muscle fibers-an event that contributes, to some degree, to muscle loss in ageing (known as sarcopenia)-causes misplacement and damage: (i) of membrane structures involved in EC coupling (calcium release units, CRUs) and (ii) of the mitochondrial network; b. sedentary ageing causes partial disarray/damage of CRUs and of calcium entry units (CEUs, structures involved in SOCE) and loss/misplacement of mitochondria; c. functional electrical stimulation (FES) and regular exercise promote the rescue/maintenance of the proper architecture of CRUs, CEUs, and of mitochondria in both denervation and ageing. All these structural changes were accompanied by related functional changes, i.e., loss/decay in function caused by denervation and ageing, and improved function following FES or exercise. These data suggest that the integrity and proper disposition of intracellular organelles deputed to Ca2+ handling and aerobic generation of ATP is challenged by inactivity (or reduced activity); modifications in the architecture of these intracellular membrane systems may contribute to muscle dysfunction in ageing and sarcopenia.

Abstract
In intact muscle fibers, functional properties of ryanodine receptor (RYR)–mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release triggered by activation of the voltage sensor CaV1.1 have so far essentially been addressed with diffusible Ca2+-sensitive dyes. Here, we used a domain (T306) of the protein triadin to target the Ca2+-sensitive probe GCaMP6f to the junctional SR membrane, in the immediate vicinity of RYR channels, within the triad region. Fluorescence of untargeted GCaMP6f was distributed throughout the muscle fibers and experienced large Ca2+-dependent changes, with obvious kinetic delays, upon application of voltage-clamp depolarizing pulses. Conversely, T306-GCaMP6f localized to the triad and generated Ca2+-dependent fluorescence transients of lower amplitude and faster kinetics for low and intermediate levels of Ca2+ release than those of untargeted GCaMP6f. By contrast, model simulation of the spatial gradients of Ca2+ following Ca2+ release predicted limited kinetic differences under the assumptions that the two probes were present at the same concentration and suffered from identical kinetic limitations. At the spatial level, T306-GCaMP6f transients within distinct regions of a same fiber yielded a uniform time course, even at low levels of Ca2+ release activation. Similar observations were made using GCaMP6f fused to the γ1 auxiliary subunit of CaV1.1. Despite the probe's limitations, our results point out the remarkable synchronicity of voltage-dependent Ca2+ release activation and termination among individual triads and highlight the potential of the approach to visualize activation or closure of single groups of RYR channels. We anticipate targeting of improved Ca2+ sensors to the triad will provide illuminating insights into physiological normal RYR function and its dysfunction under stress or pathological conditions.

Abstract
Molecular bases of pathogenic enhancement of Ca2+ release channel activities in RYR1 carrying disease-associated mutations at the N-terminal region were studied. Functional studies and MD simulation revealed that the interactions between domains have a strong correlation with channel activity. Type 1 ryanodine receptor (RYR1) is a Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle and plays an important role in excitation–contraction coupling. Mutations in the RYR1 gene cause severe muscle diseases such as malignant hyperthermia (MH), which is a disorder of CICR via RYR1. Thus far, >300 mutations in RYR1 have been reported in patients with MH. However, owing to a lack of comprehensive analysis of the structure–function relationship of mutant RYR1, the mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we combined functional studies and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of RYR1 bearing disease-associated mutations at the N-terminal region. When expressed in HEK293 cells, the mutant RYR1 caused abnormalities in Ca2+ homeostasis. MD simulations of WT and mutant RYR1s were performed using crystal structure of the N-terminal domain (NTD) monomer, consisting of A, B, and C domains. We found that the mutations located around the interdomain region differentially affected hydrogen bonds/salt bridges. Particularly, mutations at R402, which increase the open probability of the channel, cause clockwise rotation of BC domains with respect to the A domain by alteration of the interdomain interactions. Similar results were also obtained with artificial mutations that mimic alteration of the interactions. Our results reveal the importance of interdomain interactions within the NTD in the regulation of the RYR1 channel and provide insights into the mechanism of MH caused by the mutations at the NTD.

Preserved Ca 2+ handling and excitation-contraction coupling in muscle fibres from diet-induced obese mice. Diabetologia 2020; 63:2471-2481. [PMID: 32840676 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-020-05256-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Disrupted intracellular Ca2+ handling is known to play a role in diabetic cardiomyopathy but it has also been postulated to contribute to obesity- and type 2 diabetes-associated skeletal muscle dysfunction. Still, there is so far very limited functional insight into whether, and if so to what extent, muscular Ca2+ homeostasis is affected in this situation, so as to potentially determine or contribute to muscle weakness. In differentiated muscle, force production is under the control of the excitation-contraction coupling process: upon plasma membrane electrical activity, the CaV1.1 voltage sensor/Ca2+ channel in the plasma membrane triggers opening of the ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. Opening of the ryanodine receptor triggers the rise in cytosolic Ca2+, which activates contraction while Ca2+ uptake by the SR ATPase Ca2+-pump promotes relaxation. These are the core mechanisms underlying the tight control of muscle force by neuronal electrical activity. This study aimed at characterising their inherent physiological function in a diet-induced mouse model of obesity and type 2 diabetes. METHODS Intact muscle fibres were isolated from mice fed either with a standard chow diet or with a high-fat, high-sucrose diet generating obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Properties of muscle fibres were investigated with a combination of whole-cell voltage-clamp electrophysiology and confocal fluorescence imaging. The integrity and density of the plasma membrane network (transverse tubules) that carries the membrane excitation throughout the muscle fibres was assessed with the dye Di-8-ANEPPS. CaV1.1 Ca2+ channel activity was studied by measuring the changes in current across the plasma membrane elicited by voltage-clamp depolarising pulses of increasing amplitude. SR Ca2+ release through ryanodine receptors was simultaneously detected with the Ca2+-sensitive dye Rhod-2 in the cytosol. CaV1.1 voltage-sensing activity was separately characterised from the properties of intra-plasma-membrane charge movement produced by short voltage-clamp depolarising pulses. Spontaneous Ca2+ release at rest was assessed with the Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4. The rate of SR Ca2+ uptake was assessed from the time course of cytosolic Ca2+ recovery after the end of voltage excitation using the Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4FF. The response to a fatigue-stimulation protocol was determined from the time course of decline of the peak Fluo-4FF Ca2+ transients elicited by 30 trains of 5-ms-long depolarising pulses delivered at 100 Hz. RESULTS The transverse tubule network architecture and density were well preserved in the fibres from the obese mice. The CaV1.1 Ca2+ current and voltage-sensing properties were also largely unaffected with mean values for maximum conductance and maximum amount of charge of 234 ± 12 S/F and 30.7 ± 1.6 nC/μF compared with 196 ± 13 S/F and 32.9 ± 2.0 nC/μF in fibres from mice fed with the standard diet, respectively. Voltage-activated SR Ca2+ release through ryanodine receptors also exhibited very similar properties in the two groups with mean values for maximum rate of Ca2+ release of 76.0 ± 6.5 and 78.1 ± 4.4 μmol l-1 ms-1, in fibres from control and obese mice, respectively. The response to a fatigue protocol was also largely unaffected in fibres from the obese mice, and so were the rate of cytosolic Ca2+ removal and the spontaneous Ca2+ release activity at rest. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The functional properties of the main mechanisms involved in the control of muscle Ca2+ homeostasis are well preserved in muscle fibres from obese mice, at the level of both the plasma membrane and of the SR. We conclude that intracellular Ca2+ handling and excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibres are not primary targets of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The elegant elasticity and toughness of muscles that are controlled by myofilament sliding, highly elastic springlike properties of titin, and Ca2+-induced conformational change of the troponin complex have been a source of inspiration to develop advanced materials for simulating elastic muscle motion. Herein, a highly stretchable protein hydrogel is developed to mimic the structure and motion of muscles through the combination of protein folding-unfolding and molecular sliding. It has been shown that the protein bovine serum albumin is covalently cross-linked, together penetrated with alginate chains to construct polyprotein-based hydrogels, where polyproteins can act as the elastic spring titin via protein folding-unfolding and also achieve tunable sliding facilitated by alginate due to their reversible noncovalent interactions, thus providing desired mechanical properties such as stretchability, resilience, and strength. Notably, these biomaterials can achieve the breaking strain of up to 1200% and show massive energy dissipation. A pronounced expansion-contraction phenomenon is also observed on the macroscopic scale, and the Ca2+-induced contraction process may help to improve our understanding of muscle movement. Overall, these excellent properties are comparable to or even better than those of natural muscles, making the polyprotein-based hydrogels represent a new type of muscle-mimetic biomaterial. Significantly, the prominent biocompatibility of the designed biomaterials further enables them to hold potential applications in the biomedical field and tissue engineering.

Abstract
The pro- and antiapoptotic proteins belonging to the B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family exert a critical control over cell-death processes by enabling or counteracting mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization. Beyond this mitochondrial function, several Bcl-2 family members have emerged as critical modulators of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and dynamics, showing proapoptotic and antiapoptotic functions. Bcl-2 family proteins specifically target several intracellular Ca2+-transport systems, including organellar Ca2+ channels: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs), Ca2+-release channels mediating Ca2+ flux from the endoplasmic reticulum, as well as voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs), which mediate Ca2+ flux across the mitochondrial outer membrane into the mitochondria. Although the formation of protein complexes between Bcl-2 proteins and these channels has been extensively studied, a major advance during recent years has been elucidating the complex interaction of Bcl-2 proteins with IP3Rs. Distinct interaction sites for different Bcl-2 family members were identified in the primary structure of IP3Rs. The unique molecular profiles of these Bcl-2 proteins may account for their distinct functional outcomes when bound to IP3Rs. Furthermore, Bcl-2 inhibitors used in cancer therapy may affect IP3R function as part of their proapoptotic effect and/or as an adverse effect in healthy cells.

Abstract
CaV1.1 is specifically expressed in skeletal muscle where it functions as voltage sensor of skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling independently of its functions as L-type calcium channel. Consequently, all known CaV1.1-related diseases are muscle diseases and the molecular and cellular disease mechanisms relate to the dual functions of CaV1.1 in this tissue. To date, four types of muscle diseases are known that can be linked to mutations in the CACNA1S gene or to splicing defects. These are hypo- and normokalemic periodic paralysis, malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, CaV1.1-related myopathies, and myotonic dystrophy type 1. In addition, the CaV1.1 function in EC coupling is perturbed in Native American myopathy, arising from mutations in the CaV1.1-associated protein STAC3. Here, we first address general considerations concerning the possible roles of CaV1.1 in disease and then discuss the state of the art regarding the pathophysiology of the CaV1.1-related skeletal muscle diseases with an emphasis on molecular disease mechanisms.

Abstract
Dihydropyridine receptor congenital myopathy is a recently described congenital myopathy caused by dominant or recessive mutations in the CACNA1S gene. To date, only 11 cases from 7 families were described in a single report. Here, we describe a consanguineous family with three affected children, presenting congenital hypotonia, contractures, ophthalmoplegia and respiratory insufficiency, with a novel homozygous mutation in the CACNA1S gene. They also showed cognitive delay, pes equinovarus deformity and neurogenic changes that have not been associated with this myopathy in the previous reports. This report expands the phenotypic spectrum of dihydropyridine receptor congenital myopathy and underscores the importance of whole exome sequencing in early onset neuromuscular disorders.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) is a physiological process that links excitation of muscles by the nervous system to their mechanical contraction. In skeletal muscle, ECC is initiated with an action potential, generated by the somatic nervous system, which causes a depolarisation of the muscle fibre membrane (sarcolemma). This leads to a rapid change in the transmembrane potential, which is detected by the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) embedded in the sarcolemma. DHPR transmits the contractile signal to another Ca2+ channel, ryanodine receptor (RyR1), embedded in the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), which releases a large amount of Ca2+ ions from the SR that initiate muscle contraction. Despite the fundamental role of ECC in skeletal muscle function of all vertebrate species, the molecular mechanism underpinning the communication between the two key proteins involved in the process (DHPR and RyR1) is still largely unknown. The goal of this work is to review the recent progress in our understanding of ECC in skeletal muscle from the point of view of the structure and interactions of proteins involved in the process, and to highlight the unanswered questions in the field.

Ca 2+ Channels Mediate Bidirectional Signaling between Sarcolemma and Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Muscle Cells. Cells 2019; 9:cells9010055.

Abstract
The skeletal muscle and myocardial cells present highly specialized structures; for example, the close interaction between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and mitochondria—responsible for excitation-metabolism coupling—and the junction that connects the SR with T-tubules, critical for excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. The mechanisms that underlie EC coupling in these two cell types, however, are fundamentally distinct. They involve the differential expression of Ca2+ channel subtypes: CaV1.1 and RyR1 (skeletal), vs. CaV1.2 and RyR2 (cardiac). The CaV channels transform action potentials into elevations of cytosolic Ca2+, by activating RyRs and thus promoting SR Ca2+ release. The high levels of Ca2+, in turn, stimulate not only the contractile machinery but also the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). This forward signaling is reciprocally regulated by the following feedback mechanisms: Ca2+-dependent inactivation (of Ca2+ channels), the recruitment of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity, and oxidative changes in ion channels and transporters. Here, we summarize both well-established concepts and recent advances that have contributed to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in this bidirectional signaling.

Abstract
The muscular-hydrostat configuration of octopus arms allows high manoeuvrability together with the efficient motor performance necessary for its multitasking abilities. To control this flexible and hyper-redundant system the octopus has evolved unique strategies at the various levels of its brain-to-body organization. We focus here on the arm neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and excitation-contraction (E-C) properties of the arm muscle cells. We show that muscle cells are cholinergically innervated at single eye-shaped locations where acetylcholine receptors (AChR) are concentrated, resembling the vertebrate neuromuscular endplates. Na+ and K+ contribute nearly equally to the ACh-activated synaptic current mediating membrane depolarization, thereby activating voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels. We show that cell contraction can be mediated directly by the inward Ca2+ current and also indirectly by calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) from internal stores. Indeed, caffeine-induced cell contraction and immunohistochemical staining revealed the presence and close association of dihydropyridine (DHPR) and ryanodine (RyR) receptor complexes, which probably mediate the CICR. We suggest that the dynamics of octopus arm contraction can be controlled in two ways; motoneurons with large synaptic inputs activate vigorous contraction via activation of the two routs of Ca2+ induced contraction, while motoneurons with lower-amplitude inputs may regulate a graded contraction through frequency-dependent summation of EPSP trains that recruit the CICR. Our results thus suggest that these motoneuronal pools are likely to be involved in the activation of different E-C coupling modes, thus enabling a dynamics of muscles activation appropriate for various tasks such as stiffening versus motion generation.

Molecular determinants of homo- and heteromeric interactions of Junctophilin-1 at triads in adult skeletal muscle fibers. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2019; 116:15716-15724.

Abstract
In adult skeletal muscles, 2 junctophilin isoforms (JPH1 and JPH2) tether the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to transverse tubule (T-tubule) membranes, generating stable membrane contact sites known as triads. JPHs are anchored to the membrane of the SR by a C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) and bind the T-tubule membrane through their cytosolic N-terminal region, which contains 8 lipid-binding (MORN) motifs. By combining expression of GFP-JPH1 deletion mutants in skeletal muscle fibers with in vitro biochemical experiments, we investigated the molecular determinants of JPH1 recruitment at triads in adult skeletal muscle fibers. We found that MORN motifs bind PI(4,5)P2 in the sarcolemma, but do not mediate the selective localization of JPH1 at the T-tubule compartment of triads. On the contrary, fusion proteins containing only the TMD of JPH1 were able to localize at the junctional SR compartment of the triad. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation experiments indicated that the TMD of JPH1 can form dimers, suggesting that the observed localization at triads may result from dimerization with the TMDs of resident JPH1. A second domain, capable of mediating homo- and heterodimeric interactions between JPH1 and JPH2 was identified in the cytosolic region. FRAP experiments revealed that removal of either one of these 2 domains in JPH1 decreases the association of the resulting mutant proteins with triads. Altogether, these results suggest that the ability to establish homo- and heterodimeric interactions with resident JPHs may support the recruitment and stability of newly synthesized JPHs at triads in adult skeletal muscle fibers.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+-flux systems located at the ER-mitochondrial axis govern mitochondrial Ca2+ balance and cell fate. Multiple yet incurable pathologies are characterized by insufficient or excessive Ca2+ fluxes toward the mitochondria, in turn leading to aberrant cell life or death dynamics. The discovery and ongoing molecular characterization of the main interorganellar Ca2+ gateways have resulted in a novel class of peptide tools able to regulate relevant protein-protein interactions (PPIs) underlying this signaling scenario. Here, we review peptides, molecularly derived from Ca2+-flux systems or their accessory proteins. We discuss how they alter Ca2+-signaling protein complexes and modulate cell survival in light of their forthcoming therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a loss of muscle mass and function in the elderly that reduces mobility, diminishes quality of life, and can lead to fall-related injuries, which require costly hospitalization and extended rehabilitation. This review focuses on the aging-related structural changes and mechanisms at cellular and subcellular levels underlying changes in the individual motor unit: specifically, the perikaryon of the α-motoneuron, its neuromuscular junction(s), and the muscle fibers that it innervates. Loss of muscle mass with aging, which is largely due to the progressive loss of motoneurons, is associated with reduced muscle fiber number and size. Muscle function progressively declines because motoneuron loss is not adequately compensated by reinnervation of muscle fibers by the remaining motoneurons. At the intracellular level, key factors are qualitative changes in posttranslational modifications of muscle proteins and the loss of coordinated control between contractile, mitochondrial, and sarcoplasmic reticulum protein expression. Quantitative and qualitative changes in skeletal muscle during the process of aging also have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acquired and hereditary neuromuscular disorders. In experimental models, specific intervention strategies have shown encouraging results on limiting deterioration of motor unit structure and function under conditions of impaired innervation. Translated to the clinic, if these or similar interventions, by saving muscle and improving mobility, could help alleviate sarcopenia in the elderly, there would be both great humanitarian benefits and large cost savings for health care systems.

Abstract
The identification in a patient of 1 of the 50 variants in the RYR1 or CACNA1S genes reviewed here should lead to a presumption of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS). MHS can lead to life-threatening reactions to potent volatile anesthetic agents or succinylcholine. We summarize evidence from the literature supporting this association and provide therapeutic recommendations for the use of these agents in patients with these RYR1 or CACNA1S variants (updates at https://cpicpgx.org/guidelines and www.pharmgkb.org).

[PMID: 30414508 DOI: 10.1016/j.ceca.2018.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Revised: 10/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/23/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a Ca2+ entry mechanism activated by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. In skeletal muscle, SOCE is mediated by an interaction between stromal-interacting molecule-1 (STIM1), the Ca2+ sensor of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and ORAI1, the Ca2+-release-activated-Ca2+ (CRAC) channel located in the transverse tubule membrane. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms and physiological role of SOCE in skeletal muscle, as well as how alterations in STIM1/ORAI1-mediated SOCE contribute to muscle disease. Recent evidence indicates that SOCE plays an important role in both muscle development/growth and fatigue. The importance of SOCE in muscle is further underscored by the discovery that loss- and gain-of-function mutations in STIM1 and ORAI1 result in an eclectic array of disorders with clinical myopathy as central defining component. Despite differences in clinical phenotype, all STIM1/ORAI1 gain-of-function mutations-linked myopathies are characterized by the abnormal accumulation of intracellular membranes, known as tubular aggregates. Finally, dysfunctional STIM1/ORAI1-mediated SOCE also contributes to the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophy, malignant hyperthermia, and sarcopenia. The picture to emerge is that tight regulation of STIM1/ORAI1-dependent Ca2+ signaling is critical for optimal skeletal muscle development/function such that either aberrant increases or decreases in SOCE activity result in muscle dysfunction.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle fatigue has been shown to be associated with hyperphosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor 1 at serine 2843 (pRyR1Ser2843), due to chronic overloading exercise. We investigated whether pRyR1Ser2843, is a mechanism relevant for muscle fatigue also under acute, in contrast to chronic, muscle loading. 24 male subjects (age: 24,8±3,8; height: 182,8±7,2 cm; weight: 82,5±9,9 kg) were evenly (n = 6) assigned to the following four different resistance exercise (RE) groups: hypertrophy- (HYP), strength endurance- (SE), maximum power- (MAX) at the subjects' 10, 25 and 3 repetition maximum, respectively, and low intensity (LI) RE with 70% of the 10 repetition maximum. Each group completed three different RE volumes (1 set, 5, and 10 sets). Muscle biopsies from the vastus lateralis were taken before and after exercise, analyzed for pRyR1Ser2843 and examined for association with RE-induced muscle fatigue which was determined as reduction in maximum isometric force (isoFmax) in the quadriceps femoris muscle also before and after exercise.The degree of RE-induced muscle fatigue was specific in terms of set volume as well as of RE mode. isoFmax was not reduced in any group after one set of RE. Five sets led to a significant reduction of isoFmax in HYP and SE but not in LI and MAX (p<0,05). Ten sets of RE, as compared to five sets, exclusively induced further muscle fatigue in LI. In terms of RE mode differences, isoFmax reduction was generally higher in HYP and SE than in MAX and Li after five and ten sets of RE (p<0,05). However, pRyR1Ser2843 did not show any significant regulation, regardless of exercise condition. We conclude that despite its relevance in reducing muscle contractility in chronic overloading, pRyR1Ser2843 does not reflect the degree of muscle fatigue exerted by acute hypertrophy-, strength endurance-, maximum power and low intensity-oriented exercise.

Abstract
Laboratory rats are sedentary if housed in conditions where activity is limited. Changes in muscle characteristics with chronic inactivity were investigated by comparing sedentary rats with rats undertaking voluntary wheel running for either 6 or 12 weeks. EDL (type II fibers) and soleus (SOL) muscles (predominantly type I fibers) were examined. When measured within 1-2 h post-running, calcium sensitivity of the contractile apparatus was increased, but only in type II fibers. This increase disappeared when fibers were treated with DTT, indicative of oxidative regulation of the contractile apparatus, and was absent in fibers from rats that had ceased running 24 h prior to experiments. Specific force production was ~ 10 to 25% lower in muscle fibers of sedentary compared to active rats, and excitability of skinned fibers was decreased. Muscle glycogen content was ~ 30% lower and glycogen synthase content ~ 50% higher in SOL of sedentary rats, and in EDL glycogenin was 30% lower. Na+, K+-ATPase α1 subunit density was ~ 20% lower in both EDL and SOL in sedentary rats, and GAPDH content in SOL ~ 35% higher. There were no changes in content of the calcium handling proteins calsequestrin and SERCA, but the content of CSQ-like protein was increased in active rats (by ~ 20% in EDL and 60% in SOL). These findings show that voluntary exercise elicits an acute oxidation-induced increase in Ca2+ sensitivity in type II fibers, and also that there are substantial changes in skeletal muscle characteristics and biochemical processes in sedentary rats.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor 1 is a large calcium ion channel found in mammalian skeletal muscle. The ion channel gained a lot of attention recently, after multiple independent authors published near-atomic cryo electron microscopy data. Taking advantage of the unprecedented quality of structural data, we performed molecular dynamics simulations on the entire ion channel as well as on a reduced model. We calculated potentials of mean force for Ba2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+ and Cl- ions using umbrella sampling to identify the key residues involved in ion permeation. We found two main binding sites for the cations, whereas the channel is strongly repulsive for chloride ions. Furthermore, the data is consistent with the model that the receptor achieves its ion selectivity by over-affinity for divalent cations in a calcium-block-like fashion. We reproduced the experimental conductance for potassium ions in permeation simulations with applied voltage. The analysis of the permeation paths shows that ions exit the pore via multiple pathways, which we suggest to be related to the experimental observation of different subconducting states.

Abstract
Ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ channels (RyRs) open upon binding Ca2+ at cytosolic-facing sites. This results in concerted, self-reinforcing opening of RyRs clustered in specialized regions on the membranes of Ca2+ storage organelles (endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum), a process that produces Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). The process is optimized to achieve large but brief and localized increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, a feature now believed to be critical for encoding the multiplicity of signals conveyed by this ion. In this paper, I trace the path of research that led to a consensus on the physiological significance of CICR in skeletal muscle, beginning with its discovery. I focus on the approaches that were developed to quantify the contribution of CICR to the Ca2+ increase that results in contraction, as opposed to the flux activated directly by membrane depolarization (depolarization-induced Ca2+ release [DICR]). Although the emerging consensus is that CICR plays an important role alongside DICR in most taxa, its contribution in most mammalian muscles appears to be limited to embryogenesis. Finally, I survey the relevance of CICR, confirmed or plausible, to pathogenesis as well as the multiple questions about activation of release channels that remain unanswered after 50 years.

Abstract
Bastadin-6-34-O-sulfate ester (8) was isolated from methanol extracts of Ianthella basta. The structure of 8 was characterized by analysis of MS and NMR data, and conversion through acid hydrolysis, to the parent compound, bastadin-6, which was identical by HPLC, MS and NMR with an authentic sample. An improved procedure for procurement of pure samples of bastadins-4 (4), -5 (5) and -6 (6) is described.

Abstract
Despite the need for more effective drug treatments to address muscle atrophy and disease, physiologically accurate in vitro screening models and higher information content preclinical assays that aid in the discovery and development of novel therapies are lacking. To this end, MyoScreen was developed: a robust and versatile high-throughput high-content screening (HT/HCS) platform that integrates a physiologically and pharmacologically relevant micropatterned human primary skeletal muscle model with a panel of pertinent phenotypic and functional assays. MyoScreen myotubes form aligned, striated myofibers, and they show nerve-independent accumulation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) properties characteristic of adult skeletal muscle and contraction in response to chemical stimulation. Reproducibility and sensitivity of the fully automated MyoScreen platform are highlighted in assays that quantitatively measure myogenesis, hypertrophy and atrophy, AChR clusterization, and intracellular calcium release dynamics, as well as integrating contractility data. A primary screen of 2560 compounds to identify stimulators of myofiber regeneration and repair, followed by further biological characterization of two hits, validates MyoScreen for the discovery and testing of novel therapeutics. MyoScreen is an improvement of current in vitro muscle models, enabling a more predictive screening strategy for preclinical selection of the most efficacious new chemical entities earlier in the discovery pipeline process.

Abstract
In this study, composite gelatin-polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers doped with camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) were fabricated by electrospinning and used as substrates to culture C2C12 myoblast cells. We observed enhanced myotube formation on composite gelatin-PANI nanofibers compared to gelatin nanofibers, concomitantly with enhanced myotube maturation. Thus, in myotubes, intracellular organization, colocalization of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) and ryanodine receptor (RyR), expression of genes correlated to the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling apparatus, calcium transients, and myotube contractibility were increased. Such composite material scaffolds combining topographical and electrically conductive cues may be useful to direct skeletal muscle cell organization and to improve cellular maturation, functionality, and tissue formation.

Abstract
KEY POINTS We investigated whether intramuscular temperature affects the acute recovery of exercise performance following fatigue-induced by endurance exercise. Mean power output was better preserved during an all-out arm-cycling exercise following a 2 h recovery period in which the upper arms were warmed to an intramuscular temperature of ̴ 38°C than when they were cooled to as low as 15°C, which suggested that recovery of exercise performance in humans is dependent on muscle temperature. Mechanisms underlying the temperature-dependent effect on recovery were studied in intact single mouse muscle fibres where we found that recovery of submaximal force and restoration of fatigue resistance was worsened by cooling (16-26°C) and improved by heating (36°C). Isolated whole mouse muscle experiments confirmed that cooling impaired muscle glycogen resynthesis. We conclude that skeletal muscle recovery from fatigue-induced by endurance exercise is impaired by cooling and improved by heating, due to changes in glycogen resynthesis rate. ABSTRACT Manipulation of muscle temperature is believed to improve post-exercise recovery, with cooling being especially popular among athletes. However, it is unclear whether such temperature manipulations actually have positive effects. Accordingly, we studied the effect of muscle temperature on the acute recovery of force and fatigue resistance after endurance exercise. One hour of moderate-intensity arm cycling exercise in humans was followed by 2 h recovery in which the upper arms were either heated to 38°C, not treated (33°C), or cooled to ∼15°C. Fatigue resistance after the recovery period was assessed by performing 3 × 5 min sessions of all-out arm cycling at physiological temperature for all conditions (i.e. not heated or cooled). Power output during the all-out exercise was better maintained when muscles were heated during recovery, whereas cooling had the opposite effect. Mechanisms underlying the temperature-dependent effect on recovery were tested in mouse intact single muscle fibres, which were exposed to ∼12 min of glycogen-depleting fatiguing stimulation (350 ms tetani given at 10 s interval until force decreased to 30% of the starting force). Fibres were subsequently exposed to the same fatiguing stimulation protocol after 1-2 h of recovery at 16-36°C. Recovery of submaximal force (30 Hz), the tetanic myoplasmic free [Ca2+ ] (measured with the fluorescent indicator indo-1), and fatigue resistance were all impaired by cooling (16-26°C) and improved by heating (36°C). In addition, glycogen resynthesis was faster at 36°C than 26°C in whole flexor digitorum brevis muscles. We conclude that recovery from exhaustive endurance exercise is accelerated by raising and slowed by lowering muscle temperature.

Abstract
In excitation–contraction coupling, voltage-sensing modules (VSMs) of CaV1.1 Ca2+ channels simultaneously gate the associated pore and Ca2+ release channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ferreira Gregorio et al. find that VSMs adopt two inactivated states, and the degree of inactivation is dependent on external Ca2+ and the mouse strain used. In skeletal muscle, the four-helix voltage-sensing modules (VSMs) of CaV1.1 calcium channels simultaneously gate two Ca2+ pathways: the CaV1.1 pore itself and the RyR1 calcium release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Here, to gain insight into the mechanism by which VSMs gate RyR1, we quantify intramembrane charge movement associated with VSM activation (sensing current) and gated Ca2+ release flux in single muscle cells of mice and rats. As found for most four-helix VSMs, upon sustained depolarization, rodent VSMs lose the ability to activate Ca2+ release channels opening; their properties change from a functionally capable mode, in which the mobile sensor charge is called charge 1, to an inactivated mode, charge 2, with a voltage dependence shifted toward more negative voltages. We find that charge 2 is promoted and Ca2+ release inactivated when resting, well-polarized muscle cells are exposed to low extracellular [Ca2+] and that the opposite occurs in high [Ca2+]. It follows that murine VSMs are partly inactivated at rest, which establishes the reduced availability of voltage sensing as a pathogenic mechanism in disorders of calcemia. We additionally find that the degree of resting inactivation is significantly different in two mouse strains, which underscores the variability of voltage sensor properties and their vulnerability to environmental conditions. Our studies reveal that the resting and activated states of VSMs are equally favored by extracellular Ca2+. Promotion by an extracellular species of two states of the VSM that differ in the conformation of the activation gate requires the existence of a second gate, inactivation, topologically extracellular and therefore accessible from outside regardless of the activation state.

Abstract
The core skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1) calcium release complex extends through three compartments of the muscle fibre, linking the extracellular environment through the cytoplasmic junctional gap to the lumen of the internal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium store. The protein complex is essential for skeletal excitation-contraction (EC)-coupling and skeletal muscle function. Its importance is highlighted by perinatal death if any one of the EC-coupling components are missing and by myopathies associated with mutation of any of the proteins. The proteins essential for EC-coupling include the DHPR α1S subunit in the transverse tubule membrane, the DHPR β1a subunit in the cytosol and the RyR1 ion channel in the SR membrane. The other core proteins are triadin and junctin and calsequestrin, associated mainly with SR. These SR proteins are not essential for survival but exert structural and functional influences that modify the gain of EC-coupling and maintain normal muscle function. This review summarises our current knowledge of the individual protein/protein interactions within the core complex and their overall contribution to EC-coupling. We highlight significant areas that provide a continuing challenge for the field. Additional important components of the Ca2+ release complex, such as FKBP12, calmodulin, S100A1 and Stac3 are identified and reviewed elsewhere.

Ryanodine receptors are part of the myospryn complex in cardiac muscle. Sci Rep 2017; 7:6312.

Abstract
The Cardiomyopathy-associated gene 5 (Cmya5) encodes myospryn, a large tripartite motif (TRIM)-related protein found predominantly in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Cmya5 is an expression biomarker for a number of diseases affecting striated muscle and may also be a schizophrenia risk gene. To further understand the function of myospryn in striated muscle, we searched for additional myospryn paralogs. Here we identify a novel muscle-expressed TRIM-related protein minispryn, encoded by Fsd2, that has extensive sequence similarity with the C-terminus of myospryn. Cmya5 and Fsd2 appear to have originated by a chromosomal duplication and are found within evolutionarily-conserved gene clusters on different chromosomes. Using immunoaffinity purification and mass spectrometry we show that minispryn co-purifies with myospryn and the major cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) from heart. Accordingly, myospryn, minispryn and RyR2 co-localise at the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum of isolated cardiomyocytes. Myospryn redistributes RyR2 into clusters when co-expressed in heterologous cells whereas minispryn lacks this activity. Together these data suggest a novel role for the myospryn complex in the assembly of ryanodine receptor clusters in striated muscle.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are calcium release channels expressed in the sarcoendoplasmic reticula of many cell types including cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. In recent years Ca2+ leak through RyRs has been implicated as a major contributor to the development of diseases including heart failure, muscle myopathies, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes, making it an important therapeutic target. Recent mammalian RyR1 cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of multiple functional states have clarified longstanding questions including the architecture of the transmembrane (TM) pore and cytoplasmic domains, the location and architecture of the channel gate, ligand-binding sites, and the gating mechanism. As we advance toward complete models of RyRs this new information enables the determination of domain-domain interfaces and the location and structural effects of disease-causing RyR mutations.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Mutations in the gene encoding poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1) result in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD). This disease is of late-onset, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Ca2+ stimulates muscle growth and contraction and, because OPMD courses with muscle atrophy and weakness, we hypothesized that the homeostasis of Ca2+ is altered in this disorder. C2C12 myotubes were transfected with cDNAs encoding either PABPN1 or the PABPN1-17A OPMD mutation. Subsequently, they were investigated concerning not only excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) and intracellular levels of Ca2+ , but also differentiation stage and nuclear structure. PABPN1-17A gave rise to: inhibition of Ca2+ release during ECC, depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content, reduced expression of ryanodine receptors, altered nuclear morphology and incapability to stimulate myoblast fusion. PABPN1-17A failed to inhibit ECC in adult muscle fibres, suggesting that its effects are primarily related to muscle regeneration. ABSTRACT Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is linked to mutations in the gene encoding poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1). OPMD mutations consist of an expansion of a tract that contains 10 alanines (to 12-17). This disease courses with muscle weakness that begins in adulthood, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. In the present study, we investigated the functional effects of PABPN1 and an OPMD mutation (PABPN1-17A) using myotubes transfected with cDNAs encoding these proteins (GFP-tagged). PABPN1 stimulated myoblast fusion (100%), whereas PABPN1-17A failed to mimic this effect. Additionally, the OPMD mutation markedly altered nuclear morphology; specifically, it led to nuclei with a more convoluted and ovoid shape. Although PABPN1 and PABPN1-17A modified the expression of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase and calsequestrin, the corresponding changes did not have a clear impact on [Ca2+ ]. Interestingly, neither L-type Ca2+ channels, nor voltage-gated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release (VGCR) was altered by PABPN1. However, PABPN1-17A produced a selective inhibition of VGCR (50%). This effect probably arises from both lower expression of RyR1 and depletion of SR Ca2+ . The latter, however, was not related to inhibition of store-operated Ca2+ entry. Both PABPN1 constructs promoted a moderated decrease in cytosolic [Ca2+ ], which apparently results from down-regulation of excitation-coupled Ca2+ entry. On the other hand, PABPN1-17A did not alter ECC in muscle fibres, suggesting that adult muscle is less prone to developing deleterious effects. These results demonstrate that PABPN1 proteins regulate essential processes during myotube formation and support the notion that OPMD involves disruption of myogenesis, nuclear structure and homeostasis of Ca2+ .

Abstract
Skeletal muscle atrophy is the consequence of protein degradation exceeding protein synthesis. This arises for a multitude of reasons including the unloading of muscle during microgravity, post-surgery bedrest, immobilization of a limb after injury, and overall disuse of the musculature. The development of therapies prior to skeletal muscle atrophy settings to diminish protein degradation is scarce. Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and contributes to the induction of protein degradation and cell apoptosis through increased levels of ROS observed with the loss of organelle function. ROS binds mtDNA, leading to its degradation and decreasing functionality. Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) will bind and coat mtDNA, protecting it from ROS and degradation while increasing mitochondrial function. Exercise stimulates cell signaling pathways that converge on and increase PGC-1α, a well-known activator of the transcription of TFAM and mitochondrial biogenesis. Therefore, in the present review we are proposing, separately, exercise and TFAM treatments prior to atrophic settings (muscle unloading or disuse) alleviate skeletal muscle atrophy through enhanced mitochondrial adaptations and function. Additionally, we hypothesize the combination of exercise and TFAM leads to a synergistic effect in targeting mitochondrial function to prevent skeletal muscle atrophy. J. Cell.

Abstract
Muscle contraction upon nerve stimulation relies on excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) to promote the rapid and generalized release of calcium within myofibers. In skeletal muscle, ECC is performed by the direct coupling of a voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channel (dihydropyridine receptor; DHPR) located on the T-tubule with a Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor; RYR1) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) component of the triad. Here, we characterize a novel class of congenital myopathy at the morphological, molecular, and functional levels. We describe a cohort of 11 patients from 7 families presenting with perinatal hypotonia, severe axial and generalized weakness. Ophthalmoplegia is present in four patients. The analysis of muscle biopsies demonstrated a characteristic intermyofibrillar network due to SR dilatation, internal nuclei, and areas of myofibrillar disorganization in some samples. Exome sequencing revealed ten recessive or dominant mutations in CACNA1S (Cav1.1), the pore-forming subunit of DHPR in skeletal muscle. Both recessive and dominant mutations correlated with a consistent phenotype, a decrease in protein level, and with a major impairment of Ca2+ release induced by depolarization in cultured myotubes. While dominant CACNA1S mutations were previously linked to malignant hyperthermia susceptibility or hypokalemic periodic paralysis, our findings strengthen the importance of DHPR for perinatal muscle function in human. These data also highlight CACNA1S and ECC as therapeutic targets for the development of treatments that may be facilitated by the previous knowledge accumulated on DHPR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sepsis can cause decreased diaphragmatic contractility. Intracellular calcium as a second messenger is central to diaphragmatic contractility. However, changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]) and the distribution and co-localization of relevant calcium channels [dihydropyridine receptors, (DHPRα1s) and ryanodine receptors (RyR1)] remain unclear during sepsis. In this study we investigated the effect of changed intracellular [Ca2+ ] and expression and distribution of DHPRα1s and RyR1 on diaphragm function during sepsis. METHODS We measured diaphragm contractility and isolated diaphragm muscle cells in a rat model of sepsis. The distribution and co-localization of DHPRα1s and RyR1 were determined using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, whereas intracellular [Ca2+ ] was measured by confocal microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometry. RESULTS Septic rat diaphragm contractility, expression of DHPRα1s and RyR1, and intracellular [Ca2+ ] were significantly decreased in the rat sepsis model compared with controls. DISCUSSION Decreased intracellular [Ca2+ ] coincides with diaphragmatic contractility and decreased expression of DHPRα1s and RyR1 in sepsis. Muscle Nerve 56: 1128-1136, 2017.

Abstract
Membrane cholesterol is critical for signaling processes in a variety of tissues. We will address here current evidence supporting an emerging role of cholesterol on excitation-contraction coupling and glucose transport in skeletal muscle. We have centered our review on the transverse tubule system, a complex network of narrow plasma membrane invaginations that propagate membrane depolarization into the fiber interior and allow nutrient delivery into the fibers. We will discuss current evidence showing that transverse tubule membranes have remarkably high cholesterol levels and we will address how modifications of cholesterol content influence excitation-contraction coupling. In addition, we will discuss how membrane cholesterol levels affect glucose transport by modulating the insertion into the membrane of the main insulin-sensitive glucose transporter GLUT4. Finally, we will address how the increased membrane cholesterol levels displayed by obese animals, which also present insulin resistance, affect these two particular skeletal muscle functions.
