Abstract
In previous studies we and others have found that activation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) facilitate expression of long-term potentiation (LTP) of reactivity to afferent stimulation in hippocampal slices, with a more pronounced action in the ventral hippocampus. We have also been able to link the involvement of synaptopodin (SP), an actin-binding protein, with neuronal plasticity via its interaction with RyRs. To test this link more directly, we have now compared the ability of ryanodine to convert short-term to LTP in hippocampal slices taken from normal and SP-knockout (SPKO) mice. Indeed, SPKO hippocampus expresses lower concentrations of RyRs and in slices of these mice ryanodine is unable to facilitate conversion of short-term to LTP. These observations link functionally SP with calcium stores.

RNAi suppression of the ryanodine receptor gene results in decreased susceptibility to chlorantraniliprole in Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata. JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY 2014; 63:48-55.

Abstract
Leptinotarsadecemlineata is the most important pest in potato and causes serious yield loss each year. Chlorantraniliprole acts on insect ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and is among the most active compounds against L. decemlineata. Here we cloned and characterized a 15,792-bp full-length LdRyR cDNA that encoded a 5128-amino acid protein. LdRyR shares 85-92% amino acid similarities with other insect RyR homologues, and 59-61% similarities with those from Caenorhabditis elegans and Homo sapiens. All hallmarks of the RyR proteins are conserved in LdRyR. LdRyR has a MIR domain, two RIH domains, three SPRY domains, four copies of RyR domain and a RIH-associated domain in the N-terminus, and it possesses two consensus calcium ion-binding EF-hand motifs and six predicted transmembrane helices in the C-terminus. Temporal, spatial and tissue-specific expression patterns of LdRyR were evaluated. LdRyR expression level was increased constantly from egg to wandering stages, dropped in pupal stage and was increased again in the adult stage. It was widely expressed in the head, thorax and abdomen of day 3 fourth-instar larvae. Moreover, it was ubiquitously expressed in all inspected tissues including epidermis, foregut, midgut, ileum, rectum, fat body, ventral ganglia and Malpighian tubules in day 3 fourth-instar larvae. Dietary introduction of double-stranded RNA of LdRyR significantly reduced the mRNA levels of the target gene in the larvae and adults, respectively, and significantly decreased chlorantraniliprole-induced mortalities. Thus, our results suggested that LdRyR encoded a functional ryanodine receptor in L. decemlineata.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca(2+) release channel is the target of diamide insecticides, which show selective insecticidal activity against lepidopterous insects. To study the molecular mechanisms underlying the species-specific action of diamide insecticides, we have cloned and characterized the entire cDNA sequence of RyR from Ostrinia furnacalis (named as OfRyR). The OfRyR mRNA has an Open Reading Frame of 15324 bp nucleotides and encodes a 5108 amino acid polypeptide that displays 79-97% identity with other insects RyR proteins and shows the greatest identity with Cnaphalocrocis medinalis RyR (97%). Quantitative real-time PCR showed that the OfRyR was expressed at the lowest level in egg and the highest level in adult. The relative expression level of OfRyR in first, third and fifth-instar larva were 1.28, 1.19 and 1.99 times of that in egg. Moreover, two alternative splicing sites were identified in the OfRyR gene. One pair of mutually exclusive exons (a/b) were present in the central part of the predicted SPRY domain, and an optional exon (c) was located between the third and fourth RyR domains. Diagnostic PCR demonstrated that exons a and b existed in all developmental stages of OfRyR cDNA, but exon c was not detected in the egg cDNA. And the usage frequencies of these exons showed a significant difference between different developmental stages. These results provided the crucial basis for the functional expression of OfRyR and for the discovery of compound with potentially selective insect activtity.

Abstract
ATP is an important modulator of gating in type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1), also known as a Ca2+ release channel in skeletal muscle cells. The activating effect of ATP on this channel is achieved by directly binding to one or more sites on the RyR1 protein. However, the number and location of these sites have yet to be determined. To identify the ATP-binding regions within RyR1 we used 2N3ATP-2′,3′-Biotin-LC-Hydrazone (BioATP-HDZ), a photo-reactive ATP analog to covalently label the channel. We found that BioATP-HDZ binds RyR1 specifically with an IC50 = 0.6±0.2 mM, comparable with the reported EC50 for activation of RyR1 with ATP. Controlled proteolysis of labeled RyR1 followed by sequence analysis revealed three fragments with apparent molecular masses of 95, 45 and 70 kDa that were crosslinked by BioATP-HDZ and identified as RyR1 sequences. Our analysis identified four glycine-rich consensus motifs that can potentially constitute ATP-binding sites and are located within the N-terminal 95-kDa fragment. These putative nucleotide-binding sequences include amino acids 699–704, 701–706, 1081–1084 and 1195–1200, which are conserved among the three RyR isoforms. Located next to the N-terminal disease hotspot region in RyR1, these sequences may communicate the effects of ATP-binding to channel function by tuning conformational motions within the neighboring cytoplasmic regulatory domains. Two other labeled fragments lack ATP-binding consensus motifs and may form non-canonical ATP-binding sites. Based on domain topology in the 3D structure of RyR1 it is also conceivable that the identified ATP-binding regions, despite their wide separation in the primary sequence, may actually constitute the same non-contiguous ATP-binding pocket within the channel tetramer.

Abstract
ATP is known to increase the activity of the type-1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R1). This effect is attributed to the binding of ATP to glycine rich Walker A-type motifs present in the regulatory domain of the receptor. Only two such motifs are present in neuronal S2+ splice variant of InsP3R1 and are designated the ATPA and ATPB sites. The ATPA site is unique to InsP3R1, and the ATPB site is conserved among all three InsP3R isoforms. Despite the fact that both the ATPA and ATPB sites are known to bind ATP, the relative contribution of these two sites to the enhancing effects of ATP on InsP3R1 function is not known. We report here a mutational analysis of the ATPA and ATPB sites and conclude neither of these sites is required for ATP modulation of InsP3R1. ATP augmented InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from permeabilized cells expressing wild type and ATP-binding site-deficient InsP3R1. Similarly, ATP increased the single channel open probability of the mutated InsP3R1 to the same extent as wild type. ATP likely exerts its effects on InsP3R1 channel function via a novel and as yet unidentified mechanism.

Abstract
Calcium released from intracellular stores via the ryanodine receptor (RyR) mediates a variety of signalling processes. We previously showed that retina expresses the three known types of RyR, but retinal membrane preparations exhibit unique characteristics such as Ca2+-independent [3H]ryanodine-binding and inhibition by caffeine. We have heretofore suggested that the major retinal RyR isoform is novel. The present study aimed to identify this receptor isoform and to localize RyR in mammalian retina. Immunoblotting with specific and pan-antibodies showed that the major retinal RyR has a mobility similar to that of RyR2 or RyR3. Real-time PCR revealed that the major type is RyR2, and RT-PCR followed by sequencing showed a transcript that encodes a protein with approximately 99% identity to RyR2, yet lacking two regions of seven and 12 amino acids and including an additional insertion of eight amino acids. An antibody against RyR2 localized this type to somas and primary dendrites of most retinal neurons. An antibody against RyR1 localized RyR to most somas but also revealed staining in photoreceptor outer segments, concentrated on the disk membranes at their rim. The ryanodine-binding properties and the electrophoretic mobility of RyR from the outer segments were similar to those of the whole retinal preparation. The results thus identify a novel variant of RyR2 which can contribute to regulating photoreceptor Ca2+ concentrations. The restricted localization of the outer segment RyR to the disk rim suggests that its activation mechanism involves a coupling between retinal RyR and the cGMP-gated channel.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs)/Ca2+ release channels, on the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum of most cell types, are required for intracellular Ca2+ release involved in diverse cellular functions, including muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release. The large cytoplasmic domain of the RyR serves as a scaffold for proteins that bind to and modulate the channel's function and that comprise a macromolecular signaling complex. These proteins include calstabins [FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs)], calmodulin (CaM), phosphodiesterase, kinases, phosphatases, and their cognate targeting proteins. This review focuses on recent progress in the understanding of RyR regulation and disease mechanisms that are associated with channel dysfunction.

Abstract
Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ -release (CICR) from ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores provides a mechanism to amplify and propagate a transient increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). A subset of rat dorsal root ganglion neurons in culture exhibited regenerative CICR when sensitized by caffeine. [Ca2+]i oscillated in the maintained presence of 5 mM caffeine and 25 mM K+. Here, CICR oscillations were used to study the complex interplay between Ca2+ regulatory mechanisms at the cellular level. Oscillations depended on Ca2+ uptake and release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane because cyclopiazonic acid, ryanodine, and removal of extracellular Ca2+ terminated oscillations. Increasing caffeine concentration decreased the threshold for action potential-evoked CICR and increased oscillation frequency. Mitochondria regulated CICR by providing ATP and buffering [Ca2+]i. Treatment with the ATP synthase inhibitor, oligomycin B, decreased oscillation frequency. When ATP concentration was held constant by recording in the whole cell patch-clamp configuration, oligomycin no longer affected oscillation frequency. Aerobically derived ATP modulated CICR by regulating the rate of Ca2+ sequestration by the ER Ca2+ pump. Neither CICR threshold nor Ca2+ clearance by the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump were affected by inhibition of aerobic metabolism. Uncoupling electron transport with carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl-hydrazone or inhibiting mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchange with CGP37157 revealed that mitochondrial buffering of [Ca2+]i slowed oscillation frequency, decreased spike amplitude, and increased spike width. These findings illustrate the interdependence of energy metabolism and Ca2+ signaling that results from the complex interaction between the mitochondrion and the ER in sensory neurons.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor (RyR)/Ca2+ release channel mobilizes Ca2+ from internal calcium stores to support a variety of neuronal functions. To investigate the presence of such a protein in mammalian retina, we applied ryanodine binding, PCR and antibodies against known RyRs. Surprisingly, ryanodine-binding properties of retinal endoplasmic reticulum-enriched membrane fraction were vastly different from those of skeletal and cardiac muscles ryanodine-binding proteins. In common with the skeletal and cardiac muscle, ryanodine bound with high-affinity to two or more types of binding site (Kd1 = 20.6 and Kd2 = 114 nM); binding was strongly stimulated by high concentrations of NaCl; it was inhibited by tetracaine and the protein appeared to possess an ATP-binding site. Unlike cardiac and skeletal muscle, RyRs in retina binding was Ca2+-independent; inhibited by caffeine and dantrolene; less sensitive to ruthenium red; and unaffected by La3+. Also, in retina, ryanodine rapidly associated to and dissociated from its binding sites. Furthermore, although the protein bound the ATP analog BzATP, retinal ryanodine binding was not stimulated by nucleotides. Immunostaining of bovine retinal sections with anti-RyR2 showed a strong staining of amacrine, horizontal and ganglion cells. Finally, using RT-PCR, the three known RyR isoforms were identified in retina. However, consistent with the novel binding properties, the peptide maps yielded by trypsin treatment and Western blotting demonstrate different patterns. Together, the results suggest that retina expresses a novel ryanodine-binding protein, likely to be a ryanodine receptor. Its presence in retina suggests that this protein might play a role in controlling intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Abstract
VCP (valosin-containing protein) or p97 is a member of the AAA family (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities family), a diverse group of proteins sharing a key conserved AAA module containing duplicate putative ATP-binding sites. Although the functions of the AAA family are related to their putative ATP-binding sites, the binding of ATP to these sites has not yet been demonstrated. In the present study, the ATP-binding site(s) of brain VCP was characterized using the photoreactive ATP analogue, BzATP [3'- O -(4-benzoylbenzoyl)ATP]. Photo-activation of Bz-[alpha-(32)P]ATP resulted in its covalent binding to a 97-kDa purified soluble or membrane-associated protein, identified by amino acid sequencing as VCP. Bz-[alpha-(32)P]ATP covalently bound to the purified homo-hexameric VCP with an apparent high affinity (74-111 nM). A molar stoichiometry of 2.23+/-0.14 BzATP bound per homo-hexameric VCP (n =6) was determined using different methods for analysis of radiolabelling and protein determination. Nucleotides inhibited the binding of Bz-[alpha-(32)P]ATP to VCP with the following efficiency: BzATP>ATP>ADP>>adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate>or=adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-methylene]triphosphate, whereas AMP, GTP and CTP were ineffective. VCP was observed to possess very low ATPase activity, with nucleotide specificity similar to that for BzATP binding. Conformational changes induced by an alternating site mechanism for ATP binding are suggested as a molecular mechanism for coupling ATP binding to the diverse activities of the AAA family.

Abstract
Activation of ryanodine receptor (RyR) from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum by adenosine and adenosine's metabolites was studied. The purines tested increased the [3H]-ryanodine binding as follows: xanthine>adenosine>adenine >inosine>/=uric acid>hypoxanthine. The enhanced [3H]-ryanodine binding did not involve change in the RyR-Ca(2+) sensitivity and was due mainly to lower values in the affinity constant (K(d)) that corresponded with an increase in the association rate constant (K(+1)). [3H]-ryanodine maximum binding (B(max)) was much less affected. Adenosine and inosine effects were dependent on the presence beta-glycosidic bond within the ribose ring, since the combination of adenine or hypoxanthine with ribose was not able to emulate the nucleosides' original activation. Competition experiments with AMP-PCP, a non-hydrolyzable analogue of ATP, evidenced a nucleotide's inhibitory influence on the adenosine and xanthine activation of the RyR. As a result of a Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) study, we found a significant correlation between the modulation by adenosine and its metabolites on RyR activity and the components of their calculated dipole moment vector. Our results show that the ribose moiety and the dipole moment vector could be factors that make possible the modulation of the RyR activity by adenosine and its metabolites.

Abstract
We characterized the biochemistry, distribution and phylogeny of Drosophila ryanodine (RyR) and inositol triphosphate (IP3R) receptors and the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) by using binding and enzymatic assays, confocal microscopy and amino acid sequence analysis. [3H]-ryanodine binding in total membranes was enhanced by AMP-PCP, caffeine and xanthine, whereas Mg2+, Ruthenium Red and dantrolene were inhibitors. [3H]-ryanodine binding showed a bell-shaped curve with increasing free [Ca2+], without complete inhibition at millimolar levels of [Ca2+]. [3H]-IP3 binding was inhibited by heparin, 2-APB and xestospongin C. Microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity was inhibited by thapsigargin. Confocal microscopy demonstrated abundant expression of ryanodine and inositol triphosphate receptors and abundant Ca2+-ATPase in Drosophila embryos and adults. Ryanodine receptor was expressed mainly in the digestive tract and parts of the nervous system. Maximum parsimony and Neighbour Joining were used to generate a phylogenetic classification of Drosophila ryanodine and insitol triphosphate receptors and Ca2+-ATPase based on 48 invertebrate and vertebrate complete sequences. The consensus trees indicated that Drosophila proteins grouped with proteins from other invertebrates, separately from vertebrate counterparts. Despite evolutionary distances, our functional results demonstrate that Drosophila ryanodine and inositol triphosphate receptors and Ca2+-ATPase are reasonably similar to vertebrate counterparts. Our protein expression data are consistent with the known functions of these proteins in the Drosophila digestive tract and nervous system. Overall, results show Drosophila as a valuable tool for intracellular Ca2+ dynamics studies in eukaryotes.

Activation of [(3)H]ryanodine binding by Ca(2+), caffeine and ATP (adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-methylene]triphosphate, AMP-PCP) was used as an assay for channel opening, since ryanodine binds only to open channels. Caffeine-sensitivity of channel opening was also assayed by caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release in HEK-293 cells expressing wild-type and mutant channels. Equilibrium [(3)H]ryanodine-binding properties and EC(50) values for Ca(2+) activation of high-affinity [(3)H]ryanodine binding were similar between wild-type RyR1 and mutants. In the presence of 1 mM AMP-PCP, Ca(2+)-activation curves were shifted to higher affinity and maximal binding was increased to a similar extent for wild-type RyR1 and mutants. ATP sensitivity of channel opening was also similar for wild-type and mutants. These observations apparently rule out sequences 2370-2375 and 3937-3940 as ATP-binding motifs. Caffeine or 4-chloro-m-cresol sensitivity, however, was decreased in mutants G2370A, G2373A and G2375A, whereas the other mutants retained normal sensitivity. Amino acids 2370-2375 lie within a sequence (amino acids 2163-2458) in which some eight RyR1 mutations have been associated with malignant hyperthermia and shown to be hypersensitive to caffeine and 4-chloro-m-cresol activation. By contrast, mutants G2370A, G2373A and G2375A are hyposensitive to caffeine and 4-chloro-m-cresol. Thus amino acids 2163-2458 form a regulatory domain (malignant hyperthermia regulatory domain 2) that regulates caffeine and 4-chloro-m-cresol sensitivity of RyR1.

Abstract
cDNAs encoding the C-terminal 1172 amino acids of a ryanodine receptor (RyR) from the lepidopteran pest Heliothis virescens (Hv-RyR) have been cloned and characterised. Sequence comparisons, organisational studies on corresponding genomic regions and a genetic segregation analysis provide evidence for two polymorphic alleles of the Hv-RyR locus. Comparison of the Hv-RyR C-terminal amino acid sequence with equivalent regions of other RyRs reveals a high level of overall amino acid homology (74% identity with D. melanogaster and between 47.9 and 50.1% with vertebrate isoforms). Homologies are however not uniformly distributed, though regions of high and low similarity are consistent with patterns in other RyR isoforms. The structural similarity of Hv-RyR with other RyRs is also indicated by comparison of hydropathy profiles and other previously described functional domains. Such results are consistent with this region of Hv-RyR containing the Ca(2+) channel itself and being intimately involved in RyR regulation. Potential uses of the cDNAs described in the discovery and development of novel ryanodine like insecticides are discussed.

Abstract
Modification of the ryanodine receptor (RyR)/Ca(2+) release channel with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) indicated that two classes of amino group interact with the reagent, as can be distinguished on the basis of their reactivity/accessibility and the effects on ryanodine binding and single channel activities. One group interacted very rapidly (t(1/2)<30 s) at 25 degrees C with low concentrations of DNFB [C(50) (concentration of DNFB required for 50% inhibition or stimulation of ryanodine binding)=5 microM], and at pH values of 6.2 and higher. This interaction resulted in the marked stimulation of ryanodine binding and the complete inhibition of a single Ca(2+) release channel incorporated into planar lipid bilayer. The second group is accessible at higher temperatures (37 degrees C); at pH values higher than 7.4 it reacted slowly (t(1/2)=20 min) with high concentrations of DNFB (C(50)=70 microM). This interaction led to the inhibition of ryanodine binding and single channel activity. Modification of RyR with DNFB under the stimulatory conditions resulted in 3.6-fold and 6-fold increases in ryanodine-binding and Ca(2+)-binding affinities respectively. Modification with DNFB under the inhibitory conditions resulted in a decrease in the total ryanodine-binding sites. The exposure of the RyR single channel to DNFB under both inhibitory and stimulatory conditions led to the complete closure of the channel. However, when modified under the stimulatory conditions, but not under the inhibitory ones, the DNFB-modified closed channel could be re-activated by sub-micromolar concentrations of ryanodine, in the presence of nanomolar concentrations of Ca(2+). The DNFB-modified ryanodine-activated RyR channel showed fast transitions between open, closed and several sub-conductance states, and was completely closed by Ruthenium Red. ATP re-activated the DNFB-modified closed channel or, if present during modification, prevented the inhibition of RyR channel activity by DNFB. Neither the stimulation nor the inhibition of ryanodine binding by modification with DNFB was affected by the presence of ATP. By using the photoreactive ATP analogue 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-[alpha-(32)P]ATP we found that DNFB modification had no effect on the ATP-binding site of RyR. The results are discussed with regard to the involvement of amino group residues in channel gating, ryanodine association/dissociation and occlusion, and the relationship between the open/closed state of the RyR and its capacity to bind ryanodine.

Abstract
Two high Mr protein bands (440 and 420 kDa) in sheep brain microsomal membranes were labeled with the photoaffinity ATP analog, O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl adenosine 5'-triphosphate (Bz2ATP). The 420 kDa band is labeled by [alpha-32P]-Bz2ATP with about 1000-fold higher affinity than the 440 kDa band. The heavily labeled 420 kDa band is identified as dynein heavy chain based on its partial amino acid sequence, and cross-reactivity with anti-dynein antibodies. The 440 kDa protein is immunologically identified as the type-2 RyR. Bz2ATP binding is obtained in the absence of divalent cations. Bz2ATP and ATP increased the binding of ryanodine to its receptor up to 3-fold, and increased the binding affinity up to 6-fold. Other nucleotides stimulate ryanodine binding with decreasing effectiveness: Bz2ATP > ATP > ADP > AMP > AMP-PNP > GTP > cAMP. With respect to nucleotide specificity, this binding site is similar to the skeletal muscle RyR (type 1). However, the brain RyR may have additional one or more sites with lower affinity with inhibitory effect on ryanodine binding. These results suggest that the major RyR isoform in sheep brain corresponds to the type-2 isoform, and that modulation of ryanodine binding by ATP involves its binding to the RyR protein. The association of dynein with brain microsomal membranes may reflect a linkage of RyR to the cytoskeleton.

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
A method allowing measurement of the concentration of [3H]ryanodine binding sites in small skeletal muscle specimens (> 10-20 mg) was developed. A membrane fraction containing 87% of the [3H]ryanodine binding sites of the tissue and exhibiting one single KD of 18-27 nmol l-1 in rat and 8 nmol l-1 in human muscles (p < 0.05) was obtained. Maximum binding to rat EDL and soleus muscles equalled 59.1 and 16.2 pmol g-1 wet wt, whereas in human gluteus muscles binding was 12.3 pmol g-1 wet wt. The [3H]ryanodine binding showed a dependency on Mg2+ and pH similar to previously published results. As measured by Ca2+ selective mini-electrodes, the [Ca2+] causing 50% of maximum [3H]ryanodine binding (K0.5) was 200-400 nmol l-1 for different muscles. [Ca2+] higher than 1 mmol l-1 caused strong inhibition of the [3H]ryanodine binding, and both high and low [Ca2+] caused rapid dissociation of the complex. At ionic strength lower than 100 mmol l-1, more than 50% of the [3H]ryanodine was bound to particles with size less than 1.2 microns which were not retained by GF/C filters. Thus, we have obtained an almost complete quantitative recovery of functional RyRs from small muscle specimens exhibiting high affinity for Ca2+, which stimulated ligand binding.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor mediates intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in muscle and nerve, but its physiological role in nonexcitable cells is less well defined. Like adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, cyclic ADP-ribose (0.3-5 microM) and ADP (1-25 microM) produced a concentration-dependent rise in cytosolic Ca2+ in permeabilized rat parotid acinar cells. Adenosine and AMP were less effective. Ryanodine markedly depressed the Ca2+-mobilizing action of the adenine nucleotides and forskolin in permeabilized cells and was likewise effective in depressing the action of forskolin in intact cells. Cyclic ADP-ribose-evoked Ca2+ release was enhanced by calmodulin and depressed by W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor. A fluorescently labeled ligand, 4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3,4-diaza-s-indac ene-3-propionic acid-glycyl ryanodine, was synthesized to detect the expression and distribution of ryanodine receptors. In addition, ryanodine receptor expression was detected in rat parotid cells with a sequence highly homologous to a rat skeletal muscle type 1 and a novel brain type 1 ryanodine receptor. These findings demonstrate the presence of a ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store in rat parotid cells that shares many of the characteristics of stores in muscle and nerve and may mediate Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release or a modified form of this process.

Abstract
1. Propranolol, a beta-blocker, inhibited or stimulated ryanodine binding to both the membrane-bound and purified ryanodine receptor (RyR) depending on the assay conditions. At high NaCl concentrations, propranolol increased the number of ryanodine-binding sites (Bmax) with no effect on the binding affinity. In the presence of 0.2 M NaCl, ryanodine binding was inhibited by propranolol. Half-maximal inhibition was obtained at 1.2 mM and complete inhibition at 2 mM propranolol. The inhibitory effect of propranolol obtained at low NaCl concentration was not restored by increasing the NaCl concentration to 1 M. 2. Modulators of the RyR that are known to alter its conformational states, such as adenine nucleotides, Ca2+ concentration and pH, modified the effect of propranolol on ryanodine binding. In the presence of propranolol and at low NaCl concentrations, ryanodine binding was inhibited and showed no Ca(2+)-, pH-, or time-dependence. 3. Propranolol immediately and completely blocked the channel opening of RyR reconstituted into a planar lipid bilayer. Propranolol-modified non-active channel was reactivated to a subconductive state (about 40% of the control conductance) by ATP. 4. Competition experiments between lidocaine (a stimulatory drug) or tetracaine (an inhibitory drug) and propranolol at 0.2 or 1.0 M NaCl, respectively, suggest the existence of different interaction sites for local anaesthetics and propranolol. 5. These results suggest that propranolol interacts directly with the RyR and modifies its ryanodine binding and single-channel activities. Propranolol effects are altered by the RyR conformational state, suggesting its possible use as a conformational probe for RyR.

Abstract
The relationship between the tetrameric organization of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) and its activity in binding of ryanodine was approached through cross-linking studies using several bifunctional reagents, differing in their linear dimensions and flexibility, as well as in the reactivity of the active groups. Cross-linking with: 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DFDNB); di(fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)sulfone (DFNPS), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide (EDC); dimethyl suberimidate (DMS); ethylene glycol bis(succinimidylsuccinate) (EGS); and glutaraldehyde resulted in the disappearance of the, 470 kDa, RyR monomer protein band with concomitant appearance of additional bands of molecular masses higher than the monomer. At the relatively low concentrations of the reagents and the conditions used, RyR is the only cross-linked protein of SR membranes. The 'new' protein bands cross-react with antibodies against the RyR and correspond to dimers and tetramers of the RyR subunits while trimers were not detectable. DFDNB and DFNPS produced also a 560 kDa protein band which probably represents an intramolecular cross-linked monomer. The SDS-electrophoretic patterns of the cross-linked purified RyR resemble those of the membrane-bound receptor. Ryanodine binding to the high-affinity site was inhibited by modification of SR membranes with DFDNB and DFNPS, but not with DMS, EDC, EGS and glutaraldehyde, although RyR was completely cross-linked. The inhibition by DFDNB and DFNPS is due to modification of a specific lysyl residue which is also involved in the control of Ca2+ release. On the other hand, cross linking of the RyR with glutaraldehyde or EGS resulted in inhibition of ryanodine binding to the low-affinity, but not to the high-affinity binding sites. Thus, the cross-linking of two or more sites in each monomer (which lead to fixation of dimers or tetramers) did not prevent the conformational changes involved in the binding and occlusion of ryanodine at the high-affinity site, but inhibited its binding to the low-affinity sites.

Abstract
We have tested the periodate-oxidized ATP analogue 2',3'-dialdehyde adenosine triphosphate (oATP) as a ligand for the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor/Ca(2+)-release channel. Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles of skeletal muscle is biphasic. oATP stimulates the initial phase of Ca2+ release in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 160 microM), and the efflux proceeds with a half-time in the range 100-200 ms. This oATP-modulated initial rapid Ca2+ release was specifically inhibited by millimolar concentrations of Mg2+ and micromolar concentrations of Ruthenium Red, indicating that the effect of oATP was mediated via the ryanodine receptor. The purified Ca(2+)-release channel was incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, and single-channel recordings were carried out to verify a direct interaction of oATP with the ryanodine receptor. Addition of oATP to the cytoplasmic side activated the channel with an EC50 of 76 microM, which is roughly 30-fold higher than the apparent affinity of ATP. The oATP-induced increase in the open probability of the ryanodine receptor displays a steep concentration-response curve with a Hill coefficient of approximately 2, which suggests a co-operativity of the ATP binding sites in the tetrameric protein. oATP binds to the ryanodine receptor in a quasi-irreversible manner via Schiff base formation between the aldehyde groups of oATP and amino groups in the nucleotide binding pocket. This allows for the covalent specific incorporation of [alpha-32P]oATP by borhydride reduction. A typical adenine nucleotide binding site cannot be identified in the primary sequence of the ryanodine receptor. Our results demonstrate that oATP can be used to probe the structure and function of the nucleotide binding pocket of the ryanodine receptor and presumably of other ATP-regulated ion channels.

Abstract
Pancreatic rough ER ATP-binding proteins, including two isoforms of SERCA-2b Ca2+,Mg-ATPase, were identified using specific photoaffinity labelling with 8-azido-ATP. 8-Azido-ATP irreversibly inhibited Ca2+,Mg-ATPase activity only after UV irradiation and the inhibition was prevented by inclusion of 5 mM ATP in the labelling reaction. Rough ER proteins of apparent molecular masses 141, 111, 100, 84, 69, 55 and 47 kDa were detected following photoaffinity-labelling with 8-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP. The two bands at 111 kDa and 100 kDa corresponded in molecular mass to the two SERCA-2b Ca2+,Mg-ATPase isoforms previously demonstrated immunologically [1]. Immunoprecipitation of rough ER proteins by a SERCA-2b-specific antibody showed that the two ATPase bands were photoaffinity-labelled. Photoaffinity labelling of the 111 and 100 kDa proteins was: (a) abolished when Ca2+,Mg-ATPase activity was inactivated by EDTA-treatment of rough ER membranes; (b) inhibited by the Ca2+,Mg-ATPase inhibitor vanadate; (c) not affected by thapsigargin. The data demonstrate that pancreatic rough ER contains two isoforms of the SERCA-2b Ca2+,Mg-ATPase whose ATP-binding properties are susceptible to inhibition by vanadate but not thapsigargin.

Abstract
The association of an endogenous, Ca(2+)-dependent cysteine-protease with the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is demonstrated. The activity of this protease is strongly stimulated by dithiothreitol (DTT), cysteine and beta-mercaptoethanol, and is inhibited by iodoacetamide, mercuric chloride and leupeptin, but not by PMSF. The activity of this thiol-protease is dependent on Ca2+ with half-maximal activity obtained at 0.1 microM and maximal activity at 10 microM. Mg2+ is also an activator of this enzyme (CI50 = 22 microM). These observations, together with the neutral pH optima and inhibition by the calpain I inhibitor, suggest that this enzyme is of calpain I type. This protease specifically cleaves the ryanodine receptor monomer (510 kD) at one site to produce two fragments with apparent molecular masses of 375 and 150 kD. The proteolytic fragments remain associated as shown by purification of the cleaved ryanodine receptor. The calpain binding site is identified as a PEST (proline, glutamic acid, serine, threonine-rich) region in the amino acid sequence GTPGGTPQPGVE, at positions 1356-1367 of the RyR and the cleavage site, the calmodulin binding site, at residues 1383-1400. The RyR cleavage by the Ca(2+)-dependent thiol-protease is prevented in the presence of ATP (1-5 mM) and by high NaCl concentrations. This cleavage of the RyR has no effect on ryanodine binding activity but stimulates Ca2+ efflux. A possible involvement of this specific cleavage of the RyR/Ca2+ release channel in the control of calpain activity is discussed.

Abstract
Intracellular channels are located on the membranes of intracellular organelles and are involved in ion transfer, within the cytosolic compartments, in response to internal stimuli. Recently, various types of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+)-release channels, mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channels, and a vesicular Cl- channel have been molecularly cloned and characterized, and their functional roles in the central nervous system are beginning to be clarified.

Abstract
The photoactivatable aryl ketone derivatives have been rediscovered as biochemical probes in the last 5 years. The expanding use of benzophenone (BP) photoprobes can be attributed to three distinct chemical and biochemical advantages. First, BPs are chemically more stable than diazo esters, aryl azides, and diazirines. Second, BPs can be manipulated in ambient light and can be activated at 350-360 nm, avoiding protein-damaging wavelengths. Third, BPs react preferentially with unreactive C-H bonds, even in the presence of solvent water and bulk nucleophiles. These three properties combine to produce highly efficient covalent modifications of macromolecules, frequently with remarkable site specificity. This Perspectives includes a brief review of BP photochemistry and a selection of specific applications of these photoprobes, which address questions in protein, nucleic acid, and lipid biochemistry.

Abstract
The effects of various local anesthetics (LAs) on the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor were tested. The LAs were divided into three categories according to their effects on the binding of ryanodine to the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. Ryanodine binding was assayed in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl and 10 microM CaCl2. Tetracaine and dibucaine inhibit the binding with half-maximal inhibition (CI50) of 0.12 and 0.25 mM, respectively, while inhibition by benzocaine and procaine occurs with CI50 of about 10-fold higher. Lidocaine, its analogue QX-314, and prilocaine, on the other hand, stimulate the binding up to fourfold with half-maximal stimulation occurring with about 2 mM of the drugs. Lidocaine increases both the receptor affinity for ryanodine by about fivefold and the rate of ryanodine association with its binding site by about 10-fold. Tetracaine interacts with the ryanodine receptor in a non-competitive fashion with respect to ryanodine but it competes with lidocaine for its binding site, suggesting the existence of a single site for the inhibitory and stimulatory LA. The LAs also interact with the purified ryanodine receptor and produce effects similar to those with the membrane-bound receptor. Tetracaine and dibucaine inhibit binding of the photoreactive ATP analogue; [alpha-32P]benzoyl-benzoyl ATP (BzATP) to the ATP regulatory site of the ryanodine receptor, and high concentrations of ATP decrease the degree of ryanodine binding inhibition by tetracaine, indicating the relationship between the receptor conformations stabilized by ATP and LAs. Based on a structure-activity relationship, a model for the LA site of interaction in the ryanodine receptor is suggested.
