Abstract
BACKGROUND O-GlcNAcylation is the enzymatic addition of a sugar, O-linked β-N-Acetylglucosamine, to the serine and threonine residues of proteins, and is abundant in diabetic conditions. We have previously shown that O-GlcNAcylation can trigger arrhythmias by indirectly increasing pathological Ca2+ leak through the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) via Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII). However, RyR2 is well known to be directly regulated by other forms of serine and threonine modification, therefore, this study aimed to determine whether RyR2 is directly modified by O-GlcNAcylation and if this also alters the function of RyR2 and Ca2+ leak. METHODS O-GlcNAcylation of RyR2 in diabetic human and animal hearts was determined using western blotting. O-GlcNAcylation of RyR2 was pharmacologically controlled and the propensity for Ca2+ leak was determined using single cell imaging. The site of O-GlcNAcylation within RyR2 was determined using site-directed mutagenesis of RyR2. RESULTS We found that RyR2 is modified by O-GlcNAcylation in human, animal and HEK293 cell models. Under hyperglycaemic conditions O-GlcNAcylation was associated with an increase in Ca2+ leak through RyR2 which persisted after CaMKII inhibition. Conversion of serine-2808 to alanine prevented an O-GlcNAcylation induced increase in Ca2+ leak. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the function of RyR2 can be directly regulated by O-GlcNAcylation and requires the presence of serine-2808.

Abstract
Cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2) release the Ca2+ from intracellular stores that is essential for cardiac myocyte contraction. The ion channel opening is tightly regulated by intracellular factors, including the FK506 binding proteins, FKBP12 and FKBP12.6. The impact of these proteins on RyR2 activity and cardiac contraction is debated, with often apparently contradictory experimental results, particularly for FKBP12. The isoform that regulates RyR2 has generally been considered to be FKBP12.6, despite the fact that FKBP12 is the major isoform associated with RyR2 in some species and is bound in similar proportions to FKBP12.6 in others, including sheep and humans. Here, we show time- and concentration-dependent effects of adding FKBP12 to RyR2 channels that were partly depleted of FKBP12/12.6 during isolation. The added FKBP12 displaced most remaining endogenous FKBP12/12.6. The results suggest that FKBP12 activates RyR2 with high affinity and inhibits RyR2 with lower affinity, consistent with a model of negative cooperativity in FKBP12 binding to each of the four subunits in the RyR tetramer. The easy dissociation of some FKBP12/12.6 could dynamically alter RyR2 activity in response to changes in in vivo regulatory factors, indicating a significant role for FKBP12/12.6 in Ca2+ signalling and cardiac function in healthy and diseased hearts. This article is part of the theme issue 'The heartbeat: its molecular basis and physiological mechanisms'.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large cation-selective ligand-gated channels that are expressed in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. They mediate the controlled release of Ca2+ from SR and play an important role in many cellular processes. The mutations in RyRs are associated with several skeletal muscle and cardiac conditions, including malignant hyperthermia (MH), central core disease (CCD), catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). Recent breakthroughs in structural biology including cryo-electron microscopy (EM) and X-ray crystallography allowed the determination of a number of near-atomic structures of RyRs, including wildtype and mutant structures as well as the structures in complex with different modulating molecules. This allows us to comprehend the physiological gating and regulatory mechanisms of RyRs and the underlying pathological mechanisms of the disease-causing mutations. In this review, based on the insights gained from the available high-resolution structures of RyRs, we address several questions: 1) what are the gating mechanisms of different RyR isoforms; 2) how RyRs are regulated by multiple channel modulators, including ions, small molecules, and regulatory proteins; 3) how do disease-causing mutations affect the structure and function of RyRs; 4) how can these structural information aid in the diagnosis of the related diseases and the development of pharmacological therapies.

Regulation of cardiac ryanodine receptor function by the cyclic-GMP dependent protein kinase G. Curr Res Physiol 2022; 5:171-178. [PMID: 35356048 PMCID: PMC8958330 DOI: 10.1016/j.crphys.2022.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The cGMP-dependent protein kinase G (PKG) phosphorylates the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) in vitro. We aimed to determine whether modulation of endogenous PKG alters RyR2-mediated spontaneous Ca2+ release and whether this effect is linked to a change in RyR2 phosphorylation. Methods & Results: Human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells with inducible RyR2 expression were treated with the cGMP analogue 8-Br-cGMP (100 μM) to activate endogenous PKG. In cells transfected with luminal Ca2+ sensor, D1ER, PKG activation significantly reduced the threshold for RyR2-mediated spontaneous Ca2+ release (93.9 ± 0.4% of store size with vehicle vs. 91.7 ± 0.8% with 8-Br-cGMP, P = 0.04). Mutation of the proposed PKG phosphorylation sites, S2808 and S2030, either individually or as a combination, prevented the decrease in Ca2+ release threshold induced by endogenous PKG activation. Interestingly, despite a functional dependence on expression of RyR2 phosphorylation sites, 8-Br-cGMP activation of PKG did not promote a detectable change in S2808 phosphorylation (P = 0.9). Paradoxically, pharmacological inhibition of PKG with KT 5823 (1 μM) also reduced the threshold for spontaneous Ca2+ release through RyR2 without affecting S2808 phosphorylation. Silencing RNA knockdown of endogenous PKG expression also had no quantifiable effect on RyR2 S2808 phosphorylation (P = 0.9). However, unlike PKG inhibition with KT 5823, PKG knockdown did not alter spontaneous Ca2+ release propensity or luminal Ca2+ handling. Conclusion In an intact cell model, activation of endogenous PKG reduces the threshold for RyR2-mediated spontaneous Ca2+ release in a manner dependent on the RyR2 phosphorylation sites S2808 and S2030. This study clarifies the regulation of RyR2 Ca2+ release by endogenous PKG and functionally implicates the role of RyR2 phosphorylation. PKG regulation of RyR2 has been under-researched relative to other kinases. Endogenous PKG activation reduced the threshold for spontaneous RyR2 Ca2+ release. Regulation of RyR2 by PKG required expression of serine residues 2808 and 2030. Knockdown of PKG found minimal basal regulation of RyR2 by PKG.

Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmias are life-threatening events in which the heart develops an irregular rhythm. Mishandling of Ca2+ within the myocytes of the heart has been widely demonstrated to be an underlying mechanism of arrhythmogenesis. This includes altered function of the ryanodine receptor (RyR2)-the primary Ca2+ release channel located to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The spontaneous leak of SR Ca2+ via RyR2 is a well-established contributor in the development of arrhythmic contractions. This leak is associated with increased channel activity in response to changes in SR Ca2+ load. RyR2 activity can be regulated through several avenues, including interactions with numerous accessory proteins. One such protein is calsequestrin-2 (CSQ2), which is the primary Ca2+-buffering protein within the SR. The capacity of CSQ2 to buffer Ca2+ is tightly associated with the ability of the protein to polymerise in response to changing Ca2+ levels. CSQ2 can itself be regulated through phosphorylation and glycosylation modifications, which impact protein polymerisation and trafficking. Changes in CSQ2 modifications are implicated in cardiac pathologies, while mutations in CSQ2 have been identified in arrhythmic patients. Here, we review the role of CSQ2 in arrhythmogenesis including evidence for the indirect and direct regulation of RyR2 by CSQ2, and the consequences of a loss of functional CSQ2 in Ca2+ homeostasis and Ca2+-mediated arrhythmias.

Abstract
AIMS To gain insights into FKBP regulation of cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) and Ca2+ signaling, we introduced the point mutation (N771D-RyR2) corresponding to skeletal muscle mutation (N760D-RyR1) associated with central core disease (CCD) via CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing in the RyR2 FKBP binding site expressed in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSCCMs). Patients inflicted with CCD and other hereditary skeletal muscle diseases often show higher incidence of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias. METHODS AND RESULTS Ca2+ imaging of voltage-clamped N771D-RyR2 mutant compared to WT hiPSCCMs showed: (1) ∼30% suppressed ICa with no significant changes in the gating kinetics of ICa; (2) 29% lower SR Ca2+ content and 33% lower RyR2 Ca2+ leak; (3) higher CICR gain and 30-35% increased efficiency of ICa-triggered Ca2±release; (4) higher incidence of aberrant SR Ca2+ releases, DADs, and Ca2+ sparks; (5) no change in fractional Ca2+-release, action potential morphology, sensitivity to isoproterenol, and sarcomeric FKBP-binding pattern. CONCLUSIONS The more frequent spontaneous Ca2+ releases and longer Ca2+ sparks underlie the increased incidence of DADs and cellular arrhythmogenesis of N771D-RyR2 mutant. The smaller RyR2 Ca2±leak and SR content result from suppressed ICathat is compensated by higher CICR gain.

Abstract
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a stress-induced cardiac channelopathy that has a high mortality in untreated patients. Our understanding has grown tremendously since CPVT was first described as a clinical syndrome in 1995. It is now established that the deadly arrhythmias are caused by unregulated 'pathological' calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the major calcium storage organelle in striated muscle. Important questions remain regarding the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the pathological calcium release, regarding the tissue origin of the arrhythmic beats that initiate ventricular tachycardia, and regarding optimal therapeutic approaches. At present, mutations in six genes involved in SR calcium release have been identified as the genetic cause of CPVT: RYR2 (encoding ryanodine receptor calcium release channel), CASQ2 (encoding cardiac calsequestrin), TRDN (encoding triadin), CALM1, CALM2 and CALM3 (encoding identical calmodulin protein). Here, we review each CPVT subtype and how CPVT mutations alter protein function, RyR2 calcium release channel regulation, and cellular calcium handling. We then discuss research and hypotheses surrounding the tissue mechanisms underlying CPVT, such as the pathophysiological role of sinus node dysfunction in CPVT, and whether the arrhythmogenic beats originate from the conduction system or the ventricular working myocardium. Finally, we review the treatments that are available for patients with CPVT, their efficacy, and how therapy could be improved in the future.

Abstract
As a switch for the release of Ca2+ from the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum of cardiomyocytes, the type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is subject to sophisticated regulation by a broad spectrum of modulators. Dysregulation of RyR2-mediated Ca2+ release is linked to life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. The regulatory mechanism of RyR2 by key modulators, such as Ca2+, FKBP12.6, ATP, and caffeine, remains unclear. This study provides important insights into the long-range allosteric regulation of RyR2 channel gating by these modulators and serves as an important framework for mechanistic understanding of the regulation of this key player in the excitation–contraction coupling of cardiac muscles. The type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is responsible for releasing Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiomyocytes, subsequently leading to muscle contraction. Here, we report 4 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of porcine RyR2 bound to distinct modulators that, together with our published structures, provide mechanistic insight into RyR2 regulation. Ca2+ alone induces a contraction of the central domain that facilitates the dilation of the S6 bundle but is insufficient to open the pore. The small-molecule agonist PCB95 helps Ca2+ to overcome the barrier for opening. FKBP12.6 induces a relaxation of the central domain that decouples it from the S6 bundle, stabilizing RyR2 in a closed state even in the presence of Ca2+ and PCB95. Although the channel is open when PCB95 is replaced by caffeine and adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP), neither of the modulators alone can sufficiently counter the antagonistic effect to open the channel. Our study marks an important step toward mechanistic understanding of the sophisticated regulation of this key channel whose aberrant activity engenders life-threatening cardiac disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Kinase inhibitors are a common treatment for cancer. Class I kinase inhibitors that target the ATP-binding pocket are particularly prevalent. Many of these compounds are cardiotoxic and can cause arrhythmias. Spontaneous release of Ca2+ via cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2), through a process termed store overload-induced Ca2+ release (SOICR), is a common mechanism underlying arrhythmia. We explored whether class I kinase inhibitors could modify the activity of RyR2 and trigger SOICR to determine if this contributes to the cardiotoxic nature of these compounds. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The impact of class I and II kinase inhibitors on SOICR was studied in HEK293 cells and ventricular myocytes using single-cell Ca2+ imaging. A specific effect on RyR2 was confirmed using single channel recordings. Ventricular myocytes were also used to determine if drug-induced changes in SOICR could be reversed using anti-SOICR agents. KEY RESULTS Class I kinase inhibitors increased the propensity of SOICR. Single channel recording showed that this was due to a specific effect on RyR2. Class II kinase inhibitors decreased the activity of RyR2 at the single channel level but had little effect on SOICR. The promotion of SOICR mediated by class I kinase inhibitors could be reversed using the anti-SOICR agent VK-II-86. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Part of the cardiotoxicity of class I kinase inhibitors can be assigned to their effect on RyR2 and increase in SOICR. Compounds with anti-SOICR activity may represent an improved treatment option for patients.

Abstract
Contraction of cardiomyocytes is dependent on sub-cellular structures called dyads, where invaginations of the surface membrane (t-tubules) form functional junctions with the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Within each dyad, Ca2+ entry through t-tubular L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) elicits Ca2+ release from closely apposed Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) in the SR membrane. The efficiency of this process is dependent on the density and macroscale arrangement of dyads, but also on the nanoscale organization of LTCCs and RyRs within them. We presently review accumulating data demonstrating the remarkable plasticity of these structures. Dyads are known to form gradually during development, with progressive assembly of both t-tubules and junctional SR terminals, and precise trafficking of LTCCs and RyRs. While dyads can exhibit compensatory remodeling when required, dyadic degradation is believed to promote impaired contractility and arrythmogenesis in cardiac disease. Recent data indicate that this plasticity of dyadic structure/function is dependent on the regulatory proteins junctophilin-2, amphiphysin-2 (BIN1), and caveolin-3, which critically arrange dyadic membranes while stabilizing the position and activity of LTCCs and RyRs. Indeed, emerging evidence indicates that clustering of both channels enables "coupled gating", implying that nanoscale localization and function are intimately linked, and may allow fine-tuning of LTCC-RyR crosstalk. We anticipate that improved understanding of dyadic plasticity will provide greater insight into the processes of cardiac compensation and decompensation, and new opportunities to target the basic mechanisms underlying heart disease.

Abstract
Antiarrhythmic drugs are widely used, however, their efficacy is moderate and they can have serious side effects. Even if catheter ablation is effective for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, antiarrhythmic drugs are still important tools for the treatment of arrhythmia. Despite efforts, the development of antiarrhythmic drugs is still slow due to the limited understanding of the role of various ionic currents. This review summarizes the new targets and mechanisms of antiarrhythmic drugs.

Abstract
Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) are intracellular Ca2+ channels that mediate Ca2+ flux from the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum in many cell types. The interaction of RyRs with FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) has been proposed as an important regulatory mechanism, where the loss of this interaction leads to channel dysfunction. In the heart, phosphorylation of RyR has been suggested to disrupt the RyR-FKBP interaction promoting altered Ca2+ signaling, heart failure and arrhythmias. However, the functional result of FKBP interaction with RyR and how this interaction is regulated remains highly controversial. Recently, high resolution structures of RyR have provided novel aspects to the ongoing debate. This review will discuss the most recent functional data in light of these new structures.
